It is my opinion, and that's all it can be, but every single one of them. I have legitimately tried to watch these games since theyre all on ESPN+. Knowing how much other football is available it makes it hard to get through even just a half. Its the nature of the women's game, which is fed by our youth leagues where physicality and sprint speed are valued above iq, technical ability and vision. Doesnt mean i dont hope for my kid to play at that level, but we recognize that as the game goes, it aint pretty.

First you say you couldn’t watch the Euros on ESPN and then you say it’s fed by our youth leagues? Make up your mind, what does watching Germany, France, England and Sweden have to do with our youth soccer. Sorry it disappoints you that in your opinion it’s not pretty. Watching Euros 2022 was a huge success with the fans and soccer pundits who know a lot more about soccer than you.

If people think spending 4k on youth sports will make a group of girls play like professionals, they need to get their heads checked.

I wish that was my quote. It was said by Cryuff and repeated thousands of times but almost every coach in the world. Totally fine if you are not in agreement. But Messi would disagree with you.

Not all great jugglers can play soccer, but all great soccer players can juggle.
but those kids as they grew past HS could not ball but could juggle really well.

Would love this groups opinion on the U20 performance. Beat technically and athletically? Or just technically? Japan is a very technical team but not as athletic as NED and they beat them. How do we explain what has happened during these games.

So when is ECNL going to post a new college impact? They seem to not have published one since 2019. GA has their 1st year numbers posted https://girlsacademyleague.com/class-of-2022/ not to bad for a 2nd rate league.
