Doesn't seem like it'll be a popular opinion but I think morwood is onto something, aside from the snide remarks. Sparky, you need to stop pointing out that there isn't involvement (and what seems to me to be expecting people to automatically be involved in the U21), and make it something folks are interested in engaging. If what is currently happening isn't working, then change your approach. I've mentioned this before, I think U21 should really engage with the newer players and work to teach new players with decent trainees how to train. It may not see success in the short term, but it will pay huge dividends to the Canadian community in the long run.
Also, Kumiko left code that would let you quickly scout all the leagues, and I remember re-posting it. I don't have time to search for it, but that may help you scout all leagues quickly if you can find it.
