I actually don’t think that means we are doing anything wrong. Even in MLS, I would say youth development + trophies don’t necessarily mix.
As a further observation, Canada is really producing a lob sided amount of players in certain positions (wingers, forwards, fullbacks) and other areas of the field haven’t really caught up. Sort of makes sense when you think about the tactical acumen that’s required in some places and for the most part the coaching not being there.
