American soccer is about politics and not about skill. That's why I hate it. Being from a soccer loving family, and having Season Tickets to the New England Revolution since the Inaugaural season, I know what I'm talking about. Some of you may have heard about Charlie Davies, and how he would have been the number one pick in the MLS draft, if he didn't opt to go to Europe. Yeah really? The kid sucks. Why do I say that? My brother was a junior at Brooks when Charlie Davies was a freshman. This is highschool. He was not this great player, at all. Yet he started everygame. Charlie, looked up to my brother as a player, and thought he was great. He thought on first impression, that my brother was the best player on the team, and an obvious starter. But due to BS politics, my brother did not start, didn't even play that much. To this day, Charlie Davies is not that good of a player. Not only was my brother a better player than him, but so was half of the team. Just like Adu. It's political BS. If Taylor Twellman can't play on the National team, if Jason Kreis couldn't play on the national team, why the hell is bobby convey on the national team. What did he ever do?

American soccer sucks, because it's not about talent. You may think I'm trying to say my brother is amazing. And I'm not. While I do think he was a really good player, I'm just trying to prove that Charlie Davies, and half the people who get positions now a day are nothing special.
