Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud

[Guest]

Spain, France, England. I don’t expect the likes of Norway, Sweden and Germany to have particularly small players, and they have some very good players. But it’s not just the size of an individual player. It’s the utter reliance on it by some teams and the lack of technical and tactical training here in the US. And it shows - in the run-up and in the first game, not been impressed with the USWNT play.

Well im glad you realize your comment was moronic. Athletes win soccer matches- big ones too.

Btw, Sophia Smith is 5'6" 120lbs. Im not sure where you are from, but she's far from the biggest one i could find on a U13 ECNL Roster let alone the entire US.

But you probably havent heard of her, keep spouting dumb sh:t on Talking-Soccer

Seems you think you are having a one on one argument with someone here. The tactic of just getting angry and insulting anyone who disagrees with you or sees something you are not seeing is an interesting one. Good luck with that.

Nice try. No one said anything about not having athletes. Larger size does not equal better athleticism. I don’t see any response to the assertion that the US is failing to develop technically and tactically advanced players in the same manner as Europe is now doing and the effect that will continue to have. One portion of the comment relates to size and you seem really fixated on that. Perhaps you got a biggin on your hands. Take a deep breath -it will be ok.

Well, you might want to consider this article from Top Drawer Soccer published just about one month ago stating:

”International additions are a big part of DI women's soccer. Check out the confirmed players set to join in 2023 from outside the United States.”

Here's your direct quote:

"And this is why the women’s game in the US will go the same way as the men’s. The rest of the world is getting better and training their players to play creatively and focusing on skill and the soccer mind - not just on finding and stacking teams with the biggest players they can find. Colleges here do the same thing. Look at the typical college roster - 90% of the girls are huge and the game is so slow and boring. This will be the last World Cup that the USWNT are favored in - unless something drastic changes."

Your only point was that the US only looks at size. Btw, will take the US in 2027. I even gave you an example of one of the top players on USWNT that wasnt on the team because of her size and shes far from the smallest. In fact she has 7 teammates smaller than her. Nice try though.

And yes, i have a big athletic beast of a daughter who kicks your daughters a55. Sorry the coaches werent looking for a scrawny, unathletic, weak minded girl who couldnt play.

keep trying though!

Will take USWNT in 2027. Go away troll you unpatriotic, unappreciative loser.

Take your passport and go back home. We will be just fine. We will do it our way and let see what happens.

Stop enjoy the USA life style and go back home. We will be just fine.

By the way, usmnt has never been a big deal in the USA.

[Guest]

Being patriots doesn’t mean stop questioning the status quo.
But I don’t understand what is the point of this argument.
It all sounds like colleges are bad for the USWNT because kids don’t spend enough time playing soccer while in college. Of course they want to finish college well! Why wouldn’t they?
Instead of imposing strict requirements on ECNL and colleges, they should fund academies, so talented kids who cannot afford college can train and play soccer for free.

Yes I’m sure she is a beast. Probably could kick some ass if she could catch anyone. Sounds lovely. Best of luck.

To this point, the number of American players in FIFA's Women's Best 11 for 2022 was exactly one: Alex Morgan.
