You can’t win on an elite level with outside distractions. This is a known fact. It is also a known fact that the uswnt is full of outside distractions the past couple of years.

[QUOTE=Was PDA responsible for the USWNT 20 year run of being the best in the world? NO.
Yes it is, you are ranked as one of the best clubs in country. Are you producing players that are going on international scene and beat Germans, Dutch, Swedes, Englishwoman or are you producing players that are going to beat MFA, PF and Bethesda? You are one of the best in county, you are responsible for supplying best players in to our national team. If not, the club underachieving, the kids are not developed properly and coaches are underperforming.

NOBODY produces world class players. Some world class players may have played for PDA bc they are the best option in the area. So yes PDA is simply trying to beat their regional competition and move forward in the ECNL playoffs and get kids into college. It’s the USWNT’s responsibility to identify the types of players it needs to win. It has nothing to so with ANY ECNL club.Comment

[QUOTE=Guest;n4399655]USWNT can only pick from a pool of players that clubs offer. USWNT is not developing 13, 14 or 15 years olds, clubs do. If the clubs don’t do their job at young age there are very limited options for the national team. The measuring stick is set to low to Solars, Surfs, PDA’s of US women soccer. They should be prepared to compete with players coming out of Chelsea, Olimpique Lyonnaise, WfL Wolfsburg, Liverpool, Barcelona and other top academies in world because these are the ones supplying players to other national teams.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

The US sucks at identifying high potential talent

USSF also sucks at just about everything they doComment

Maybe scratching the whole “pay to play” model for youth soccer should be consideredComment

Would mean millions of dollars and massive job loses. So no from an economic perspective- it’s a big business in the US.Originally posted by Guest View Post
Yes from a talent perspective. We can’t even get health care right, how can we make soccer free, unless Elon Musk buys US Soccer. Send him a tweet!Comment

You are not wrong. What’s worse is the list of hundreds of coaches that abused kids under their organization. GrossOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

These situations are much more complex than you are making it out to seem. After a long fought game that forces a shootout, the coaching staff must quickly assess who is in the right mental state to take the pressure of the shootout. Did she get hurt during the game? Did she score during the match? Did she miss the game winner? Did she not make the last pass? Is the team in-fighting? When the coach looks into their eyes, do they look confident? etc etc etc No one wants to be the one that misses the penalty that knocks your team out of the world cup. These are young(er) players and are still developing the mental side of the game. Having said all that, the US should have won that game.
