    France is way better! They weren't even trying this World Cup. You will see in 2023 womens world cup. That is the important world cup.

      Was munching on an Éclair with the coach a bit ago and I guess that plans have changed and they are not going to spring their trap on the world until the 2027 World Cup. Until then they are going to be biding their bouchée à la reine and just loose important games on purpose. 2027 is the day of reckoning. France will express their dominance over the world then.

        you guys don't get it. Other countries have made serious changes to their structure in developing players. the U.S. still plays and coaches their WNT like it's 1998.

          By doing what we did in 1998/1999, you mean winning the World Cup again?

          Whatever the US does that works should be scrapped!!!!

          Find out what losing countries are doing and implement that, stat.

          Oh the losing countries are birth year. Lets do that now. Maybe we will achieve the same level of success those other countries achieved. That would be fantastic. "Lose the world cup" will be the chant in the stands.

            You don't get it do you? it's not about winning the World Cup. Those games don't matter. it's about developing a pleasing possession game. The rest of the world is better than the US at holding the ball and not scoring. That is what we need to understand. Hold and don't try to score.

                Barcelona has Messi. We need to develop Messi for the WNT. Until then, all wrong wrong wrong

                  You Americans have it all wrong. It's not about winning. It's never about winning. Winning the World Cup just encourages people to try to win games instead of possess the ball.

                  If Bayern wins 5-1, but possession is only 49% / 51% then they in fact lost. The real experts only want to see possession. Winning is short sighted, especially in the World Cup or Uefa champions league or any of the European leagues like the EPL.

                  Anyone can win those leagues. My 40-50 year old indoor team could win the Premier League. But we can't possess the ball like some of the top teams in Europe. That's what keeps us up at night.

                    I agree with you. Astute analysis.

                    Winning is losing. Losing is the real winning. Losing is development. Possession is victory.

                      Along with the new age grouping mandate, US soccer has changed the format for winning. Goals do not count. Possession will be tracked and the team with the greatest possession will be declared the winner.

                        The US women are not doing it better than the men. Half of all the female soccer players in the world play in the US. With that numbers advantage, the US women should be dominating everybody. I'm talking '92 men's Olympic basketball type domination. They're just not that dominant year in year out.

                        Everything that's being implemented to improve the men's side will ultimately improve the women's side as well. Just because the bar is lower in women's soccer doesn't mean we shouldn't make efforts to make the US women better.

                          Finally someone gets it! Winning the World Cup is an indicator of bad soccer. It reinforces bad habits and teaches kids watching that winning is good. It is not. Possession and passion are more important. Using a British accent is more important.

                            This is a positive change that we needed. Goals are a distraction. I wish they would have went a step further and banned goals all together. Not brave enough like the rest of the world.

                                Constantly referring to the Barcelona, Brasil or Dutch futbol will help as well.
