After taking a look at the ongoing battle between the Development Academy and the ECNL, Taylor and Travis discuss the U17 Women's and Men's National Teams and the U16 Boys' and Girls' National Teams.

They also take a shot at answering your listener questions:

1) Should more homegrown players stay in college to get more playing time?

2) Why is high school soccer considered to be a backwater for youth development?

Today's show is sponsored by Hudl, who are excited to announce the 2018 Innovator of the Year contest to reward hard-working innovators in club soccer. The grand prize is worth $50,000, so nominate yourself or someone you know at http://hudl.fun/innovate
