Wow, such racism in that post.
If I advocated that we bench the short, poor black girl, I'd be skewered.

The 29 minutes or so I watched the US lack skills, tactics, and creativity. Sad. Years of ECNL has doomed us all. Big bad USWNT no longer relevant in the modern game. The French, German, Japan and the top soccer countries have upgraded their women's program and we are at least 5 years behind in players development needed to compete with the top teams. Sad.

Hiring college and youth club coaches no longer are in the best interest of players development. These coaches are too rigid for the modern game.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostDamning with faint praise. The US audience has viewing access to many men's European games now. Especially on the weekends. Our teams(men and women) are crap in comparison so watching the games is getting progressively painful. Look for all US ratings to continue to drop.
I am, however, optimistic of the future of the USWNT. I've been pretty impressed watching the U9-U11 girls at my kid's club playing just before his practice and see they are playing the right way, with lots of skill and creativity. Hopefully, those types of players make it through the selection process in the future, and are not discarded in favor of the big, fast girls.....

Ally Long got smoked on all three goals. A holding midfield trying to play center back in a 3 back system and got exposed. Obvious that France targeted her and took advantage of it. Plug in Sauerbraun and Johnston in a 4 back system and those goals don't happen.
Some of the younger player like Lynn Williams look very good for the next cycle of big events. Hopefully Rose Lavelle can help Boston turnaround the trainwreck their management has created. We give up the starting USWNT goalie for one year of Whitney Engen. They cut one of their top picks from last year. Someone needs to take the keys away from those guys so hopefully Lavelle won't want out too.

What was witnessed last night were the consequences of a system that is dependent upon heaps of money getting thrown at it and then hoping something will stick.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYep, this is a huge issue. Used to be a huge fan of MLS and USNT games, both men's and women's, and watched all the time. Now, since our family has been watching EPL, Bundesliga, etc. every weekend, it was really painful to watch that first round of MLS games over the weekend. I gave up on the WNT since the start of the Wambach era. I do try to catch a game now and again to see if the style of play has improved at all, and sadly, it's the same ugliness.
