AS the game changes in the rest of the world, the USSF better start picking the best players at all levels because simply having more players will not be enough.
Once upon a time, the US had the best players in the world. Not the US "edge" has been reduced to having the most good player in the world. If I were Real Madrid, looking to buy my way into the womens game, there is is not a single USA player on my list of must haves.
world rankings in the womens game are beyond meaningless given the unbalanced schedules and how countries view their teams. the USA plays controlled friendlies at home and acts like they are meaningful. Nike gave big money to Mallory Pugh...why? what has she done? other than score vs Thailand, a team that a good college team would beat convincingly. the USA need to get back to letting talent be the biggest factor, not image and politics because now it matters WHO you pick at every level - from coaches administrators and players - throughout the senior and youth ranks
