I agree, but that's why we didn't qualify for WC2018

Your last point is very true, but in the 4 to 8 to 12 years, the "longer term" before that really happens where the talent catches up with the pay, is why that argument means complacency with not qualifying for the World Cup...which to me is the point of USSF and all National Teams.

Conversely, the Bundesliga I and II and DFB in Germany see a WC win as the end-all for their actions. MLS isn't quite on board in the same way if they wait for the talent to catch up to the pay.
