Interesting comments about how Arena would like to see MLS restructured, as well as youth development.

Interesting comments from The Bruce. As you specifically mentioned youth development, I'll post this here...

An article (more editorial?) on youth development by the Metrostars. I'm neither a big Metrostars or Lalas fan, but seems like they may be ready to get screwed,

Gist is that through a youth program, they've developed a hot 16 yr. old prospect...but he may need to go through a MLS dispersal draft or something (meaning Metrostars probably lose him and get no reward for investing in the kid in the first place). So much for the incentive of having a youth program.
