    "A narcotic for the have nots." That's TS Top 10 All time. Pure gold.
    Madder you get, the more you know it to be true.

      In other words 99% of the us soccer playing males. Gotta justify all that money spent somehow when it was clear when the lad was 12 he wasn't given athletic gifts.

        getting back to the topic of the thread - U17 wnt-
        so the gals won 8-0 victory against Venezuela and balloons are being dropped. Won't they ever learn? Why not play against an opponent that may actually get your game ready? The easy wins aren't getting it done when it comes to the games that matter. Maybe FC Dallas U12 boys team wasn't available. Change in leadership and organizational enema is what is needed.

          100pct. Haiti, now Venezuela. The point? to give out caps and pad stats. Just like Club soccer, we play far too many meaningless games for the sake of it. we have far too many camps and the results do not support it. The leadership have one agenda - self promotion.

            Especially when you consider that the major NT teams from other nations usually get formed during what would be our U16 year with players that generally have already turned pro and are working almost daily specifically on soccer as a job. These other nations generally settle on a core group of players early on and train them together as a team at least monthly for years.

                And the straw man of dolts. No one has actually ever argued "technical skill alone will suffice."

                    France for one. North Korea they aren't pros but they are in a state sponsored training program and might as well be.

                      Seriously that guy spends all of his time trying to convince that the NT should pick a bunch of small slow kids whom he believes have off the charts "creativity'

                          so one ...not quite the same as the OP then. We need to stop with the excuses. you dont need full time forced immersion to compete. Countries that have soccer cultures create that immersion organically. You cannot force it to a bunch of girls who really dont want it.

                            True that there is way too many posers at the youth club level but do you say that they don’t want it? There are plenty that want it, the problem is the clubs dumb everything down so the little snowflakes don’t have to break a sweat.

                              need to define plenty. by want it, I mean are willing to really make sacrifices to get it. The girls game is full of kids who like the trappings of success ( social media, awards, all this and that) but are not willing to grind. Big fish in tiny pools is enough.

                              The Clubs are run to satisfy the majority of consumers and that, by definition, is an average player. You make my point for me, a kid that really wants it outgrows that environment pretty quick. If more rally wanted it, then there would be no need to dumb down as much.

                              Girls soccer is as much a social endeavor for most as it is a quest for excellence. Its marketed that way by the ECNL, USSF etc with Instagram, Snapchat twitter etc Its all personal interest stories. almost no real soccer content.
