    College is the end game for MOST players in the US, not just women.

      There should not be an “end game” in anything. If you’re only doing something to receive a benefit, you’re selling yourself short and doing it an injustice. Do what you do because you want to and need to. “End games” are for spoiled idiots.

        One could argue that you’re an idiot. Most of these kids play because they enjoy it, but also as a means of getting into a college they might not otherwise get into. For the parents, they look at it as an investment, hoping to get a return on it, while hopefully enjoying the ride even if they don’t. When it’s over, it’s over. And for most it’s in college. Some people prefer to begin their lives at that point, and work a real job that actually pays a livable wage instead of hanging on to a pipe dream. I get that you live for USNT soccer, but most don’t care. That’s reality. You need to get a life.

Meanwhile, the women’s youth teams have been performing poorly for a while, but remain on top at the top. This is not a new phenomenon. Maybe the youth NS needs a refreshing. Maybe identification becomes easier once they all hit college. Either way, what you describe has been going on for 5-10 years easily.

          I get that you want something to be true to prove your narrative, but it just isn’t.
          The men’s youth teams only recently had success across the board. Please don’t @ me about Donovan teams. That was a long time ago

            Not the poster but I don't think many look at as their end game but rather it tends to be the end OF their game. They turn into adults, start to find other passions and hopefully a career they're passionate about. For almost all women and most men there is no soccer path past college. They will still love the game and may continue to play casually or coach. But it's time to move on

              You’re a toolbox.

                And you’re an idiot. Fair enough.
