How Technical are the Girls?

Was the a Giants the best team during the game? Yes, they won.

Was the Patriots the best NFL team during this season?

If you had your pick, which team would you want your DS or DD to be on assuming this was a U14 soccer team?

I would want my kid on the Barca team hands down.

You clearly didn’t watch Barca play if you are comparing them to the Giants. It is also a bit arrogant to compare the PDA team to the Patriots.

In fact, it is a dumb comparison completely and the fact that you think of American football is part of the exact reason we need to evolve soccer wise.

No - he watched. He just has no idea what he’s looking at.

Here's an idea. Go start a new thread and talk about Barca vs PDA all you want.

It is a relevant discussion for the thread based on “how technical are the girls”.

The game represents one of our best club teams. Watch the game and ask yourself how technical are the girls.

+1000 Barca team plays real football, PDA yes they play soccer. There you have the difference between football and soccer. Soccer is played in the US. For soccer you need players like the PDA team, they learn when to run and kick long balls. For football Barca players learn the game tactics. Both teams need athletic and technical players. The difference is the game. Chess is different to monopoly.

Did Barca have an undefeated season compared to PDA?

You're asking the wrong question. The question you are asking is a perfect example of the problem.

Oh and because coaches in the US are years behind coaches in Europe and the rest of the world, all US coaches can tech is Soccer.

Jumped. The. Shark.

They already spent months talking about this one meaningless game. The USWNT played a more athletic game against better Spanish athletes and the major level and beat them a number of times.

That Spanish team was made up of the best players in Spain and they played a style similar to Barca. So, we have our answer. "Dumb" American football still wins.

So the answer to the question "how technical are the girls?" is: Not very. But they win. Until they don't.

The history and the market is different. In the US girls have been allowed to play soccer for longer time as the sport was not perceived as a male sport (boys were more focused on football or baseball). In the rest of the world even Europe real football is the most popular sport, and its or was a MALE activity. In the last years perception has changed and now more girls are attracted to play the game. The Spanish team is a baby compared to the US team. When this baby and others grow up, then we’ll see a real game and competition.

So when a senior USNT beats another country's fully capable senior team playing the same revered style a number of times it doesn't count, but when that country's U15 team that plays said revered style and beats a US team in one game, it does.

Okie dokie.

Uh huh

+1 and the US gets a lot of resource and support, yet their players are still underpaid. No hard to guess what the situation is for a Brazil or Argentina women’s team, pro leagues teams or any other country where Female soccer is less popular. Do you think they all have a salary, travel by plane, Do they have to have jobs when they don’t play?
