US U-15 Girls National Team Talent ID Camp

The end of the reign is coming quickly. US Soccer knows it, it's part of why they started GDA. But GDA won't help us keep ahead of the rest of the world.

That has nothing to do with gda.

World Cups are KO events. Teams take differing paths to games. Dont be blinded by the result too much. Yes the USA won, but a bounce her or there changes that. They were never dominant and reverted to sit deep and try and counter vs the better teams. England blew it from the penalty spot. The narrative that because they won, they are "better" than the rest should be amended to they were better on the day and got the breaks.

If you look at the salaries paid in the NWSL, its pretty clear that US soccer has been built on College and Title 9. In Europe the foundations are being built on pro clubs. Both systems have flaws. Time will tell, but until more temas in Europe actually get involved, the sheer volume of College players will always have a chance. The NWSL is not a development league and we are seeing a two tiered system where the players with the NT golden ticket stay here and the rest go abroad for better pay and to experience the world. It not sustainable to not have your best young players playing here unless they are given assurances re NT.

Yeah it does since they're taking nearly all GDA kids for youth NT call ups now. They're putting all their eggs in the GDA basket. As the other poster said, that won't keep us ahead of several of the countries quickly gaining ground on us.

You have it all backwards. they use the call ups to promote the league not the league to get the call ups. but no matter. good luck to all the players.

when it comes time ofr the first team - they will take top talent full-time pros with maybe a college player here or there..

They better be players playing professionally abroad, not the NWSL

The College game with is sub rules also allows player to go full bore, get a break and then return. No need to pace a game when you can do that. Another reason that skill is rarely learned or needed.

Excellent point

Yes but in the same way that USSF makes it clear that the NT youth players must to to clubs that play in the GDA, they make it clear that they prefer the first team players to play NWSL.

Excellent point

And that is why USSF pushed GDA with substitution rules more akin to the international game. For the most part (and as someone stated earlier), college soccer is high school soccer on steroids.

Anyone wanting proof, please take a look at UNC's substitution patterns....Dorrance runs his opponents into the ground.

agreed. I've heard him talk about formations he plays and all of them require outstanding athletes. And he does exactly what you say. He runs those amazing athletes one after another and just tires out his opponents. That's not saying his players can't play good soccer, but the fitness aspect of the game and his players takes a huge part.

So, to the poster's point, the rest of the world will continue to catch up to us.

youth nt camp call ups is one thing but that will probbaly have very little to do with who gets called into the senior team in the end, anyway.

What is your point ? Did you watch these games? If you did, you will know that they were all very close and could have gone either way.

Not sure that he can run the better teams into the ground now. He has a lot of talent on his teams and only product he consistently delivers is wins. His players dont really improve much in my opinion.

Senior team is not a bell weather for Club soccer. The reason so many here focus on Youth Call ups 17 and lower is because that is the most relevant to their kids now. Its the badge of honor. Move up the ladder and no one cares who went to camps 3 years ago.
