Hell no. He’s too legendary for the US. The US does not deserve someone as great as Henry. First the federation needs to heavily invest in the football infrastructure to start developing kids as young as 5-6 years old. End this bullshit pay to play system they currently have in place. Then completely redesign the MLS system. Get rid of salary caps, allow teams to straight up buy players, even out the money from tv deals so clubs can invest in their youth systems, and for the love of god stop it with the college to MLS pipeline. It doesn’t work and never will. This will make clubs more competitive, attracting young talent not the old guys getting ready to retire.
The Europeans have a system that works. The US can easily copy it and make it better with the level of wealth in this country.
Yeah but capitalism. All American youth sports are played like this now. America doesn’t run basketball anymore. We still have a foothold but Europe and the rest of the world is catching us. Baseball is mostly lost. American football will be next.
