0:2, what is going on?

The new blood isn’t at the international level. The youth nt has struggled the past 12-14 years and those players are coming through now.
Glorified youth leagues and colleges are not developing international players. US Soccer has no solution. The world has caught up. We have athletes but not creative, smart, technical, tactical, etc…players.
more losses are coming.

US Soccer HAD a solution. The paying public didn't want it. Those of us 'in the know' predicted this was coming, and have been very vocal about it, for at least 8 years now. We kept hearing "LOL we win the World Cup what are you worried about".Originally posted by Guest View Post

Time to end all the talk and completely overhaul US Soccer starting with the club influence and the scouts who can't do the simple job of identifying the top players in the largest talent pool in the world.
The current system has led to embarrassing performances every time the USWNT step out on the pitch.Comment

I felt USA went back to old habits. They played frantic. Couldn’t connect on passes, especially in the final third. And the defense was horrendous. And they should play high pressure but they just sit back and allow the attacks to happen. Not sure how dalkemper made the team. She was horrible. I’m sorry but horan is slow as hell. Rodman is not there yet either. And I’m not a fan of Dunn anymore. Smith should be on the wing. She has not done anything as a number 9. They need the new coach to practice those tactics that work… be technical, play fast, quick passing, possession….They did it in the first two games, but not this game. Was disappointing to watch.Comment

A centralized scouting location that coordinated activity throughout all the leagues. A ten-month training program, concentrating on a new playing style - away from direct and more possession-based; reliance on positional movement and not being reliant solely on athleticism Clubs were to report weekly on players progress and mandating through a consistent playing style. Game results were secondary.Originally posted by Guest View Post
None of that the paying public wanted.

Good recommendation but that has nothing to do with mommy and daddy getting to put ECNL magnets on their car and walking around in ECNL hoodiesOriginally posted by Guest View PostComment

I took my daughters to a DA club and was all in on skipping HS soccer. US Soccer mishandled the whole operation and used COVID as an excuse to pull the plug. US Soccer is at fault not the parents.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Sure it does. Once ECNL realized they had to answer to someone else and the clubs actually had to fill out paperwork, they were done.Originally posted by Guest View PostComment

Your family was in a massive minority. The HS thing was a deal-breaker for too many. Not saying by any means what US Soccer was perfect, but it barely had a chance to get off the ground. The writing was on the wall well before Covid.Originally posted by Guest View Post

Hats off to Mexico. Came to play and was the aggressor for the entire game. With that said, last night seemed to be a bird-in-hand, Emma Hayes requested, how much gas do the veterans have left in the tank type of line-up. And the answer is "not much." The USSF rode the USWNT national team hard and put it away wet. And now the program is suffering for it. It will right itself under Hayes, but a whole generation of talent between Rapinoe and Rodman got sacrificed at the alter of marketing $$.Comment
