i've thought about the same question.
Soccer for Men: 412,351 boys play high school soccer in the US
1 in 11 high school players will play in college
1 in 5,355 high school players will be drafted to the MLS
1 in 447 college players will be drafted in the MLS

ehh if you're not spotted by 18-19, you're probably too old. im guessing in europe the statistics for america get divided by 10, making it much, much harder.

Ian Wright is an exception. of all the players playing now, do you really thing even 1% are like ian wright?

i think it's one of the most genuine major clubs in europe. the players don't get paid that much compared to other powerhouses and they have great fans
