Surprising for TS, actually.
I watch a lot of coligate soccer and you’re correct. So many teams play a an antiquated style...perhaps because that’s all the coaches know, or maybe because teaching the evolved game is so much more difficult they can’t get it done in the time allotted....keep in mind that these teams play less than most every club team. Season is way shorter and they practice MAYBE as much as a typical club team....
I see Stanford, USC, UCLA, Virginia, FSU, Duke, Georgetown, Penn State, Indiana, Arkansas all trying to play modern possession soccer. UNC plays it most of the time as well despite their two as being a direct team.....they are so much more talented they must team a they play, they possess by default almost. Teams bunker against them.
The collocate game as a whole needs to evolve or else we will eventually see the results at the USWNT level suffer. The rest of the soccer world (Spain, France, Netherlands, England, Germany, Japan) is playing kick and chase from development years 18-22.....
