True, and I love the really fast kids that take that weak shot from 40 (or simply turn the ball over time and again) because they have no feel for the game (god forbid they pass the ball) or sense the CDM or CB lurking near them and don't have the technical skills to beat them and have no power in their shot to speak of ..... or the burner that can't keep the ball within 10 yards of their feet after any touch. How many times do those track stars get a ball to their feet that clangs out of bounds off of their shin or ricochets right to a defender. Speed definitely kills, but track stars with no hands and/or that can not take a hit are useless in football and track stars with no feet are mostly useless in soccer (sometimes can be a decent CB .... just don't expect to play out of the back with that kid).

Me thinks your kid gets benched in favor of the fast kid, lol

Doesn't matter how many fancy moves you can make with the ball at your feet if you're too slow and winded and rarely get to the ball. Fact

If you can't keep the ball, pass or shoot well, you're not a soccer player

See you in Newsday track-star.

How many times have the faster bigger kids become average soccer players by high school? Too many to count.

All you have to do is put a speed bump in front of her and she does nothing.

Just a observation. I am not a relative of the player in question. But you people who have nothing else going for yourselves except to say negative things about a girl who has had a great season are pathetic. Then you have to talk about her mother. Disgusting.

If your team is not what you want, then improve it or leave.
If your daughter is not where she wants to be, tell her to practice.
If your so miserable in your own existence, don't spread your negativity towards others.

Go get help, and get from in front of the computer with your gallon of ice cream, or pint of Hennessy. Whichever is your poison.

Carpool anyone?

USWNT just beat Netherlands to win the World Cup. Pretty sure most of the US players played HS soccer, no?

More training, better games? Most games are terribly lopsided in GDA and so many if the kids belong in HS soccer .... On JV teams. Claudio, do they need academy soccer or does academy soccer need them and their checks? Meanwhile his kid is getting out of US as fast as he possibly can. Speaks volumes right there.

Of course. Because there was no other league that didn't allow it then.

Reality is GDA is now in a no-win situation. If they win the next WC with more GDA players playing than are today, then the message will be how great they have always been. If they don't, then it's GDA's fault.

The point is that for him to say that the US should do what The Netherlands and the rest of the world is doing to build their national team seems misplaced. It's basically saying "we are the best, but we should be doing what the second-best program is doing".

The next WC still won't have many if any GDA players. Even on the MNT they're only just now starting to see some impact with the younger NT teams but not the full squad that is mostly older.

so according to you ONE tournament determine who has the best "program"? NED and SPA going from close to zero to very relevant in 4-8 years is how you should value programs. The USA program needs to be looked at a lot deeper than just who won the WWC. You may still arrive at your conclusion, but it is not a simple as you imply

The next USWNT that plays in WC will not have any gda players...maybe by 2027

So he is talking about the boys here not girls. You can not compare the two. Boys can sign and play professional and make a living. Girls just won’t. Girls goal is College. CR here also basically says HS and College are the same. So should we not play college too? Again, boys is definitely and clearly different.
