Women’s World Cup

A unified team will always outperform individual talent. THAT is what the EUROPEANS understand.

“Teams performing a complex task could do almost as well as the very best individual, but they were able to do it much quicker. That's because they were much faster, they generated more solutions, they generated faster solutions, and they explored the space of possibilities more broadly.”

Nothing about the way the top European operate suggest they understand, or that the statement has any truth. Talent is everything and everyone knows it.

Was Argentina the most talented team in the last Men's World Cup?

Talent probably only equates to at most 75% of the equation. You can’t win if you don’t have the coach, management amd moral to support it.

Sure, but you can have the best coach, most competent management and without a budget for real talent, you're playing in the Norther League

You did not answer the question.

Was that same player also the most talented player in the 2010, 2014 and 2018 world cups?

Oddly, all of those teams were star studded. Anyone remember plucky Iceland winning the world cup with its cohesive squad? Of course not because talent matters more than anything else

You have still not answered the questions. It would appear you have a talent for ducking.

What happened to "Talent is everything". Backtracking already?

When the talent pool levels out, as is happening in women's soccer, other things start to matter more.

Dp. They had the best talent on the field on average. Messi was not the most talented player last year but had a huge impact.

It’s the World Cup. It’s a fun event but every men’s World Cup team would be a bottom of the table EPL team. World Cup has top player going against a third tier defender. The teams are just a jumble of talent levels. It is not the best soccer but it’s fun to watch.

The original statement is talent is everything. Can you name a single talentless squad to win a world cup? The best player doesn't always win, but only because another team has multiple good players

No, they really did not in 2022. They were not more talented that Portugal, Brazil, France, England. It other years, that might have been closer to the truth and guess what happened? They lost. The team Maradona "coached" in 2010 was supremely talented, but he was a hot mess of a coach and didn't know how to properly utilize the talent.

Not sure why your last paragraph is relevant.

This is a non-sequitur. "Talent is everything" implies that the team with the most talent will win. This is not the case.

I would not start Lavelle and watch the minutes on Rodman and Smith. Get a goal or two up and pull them out. More important to rest key players for the knock out round.



Tactical Dad over here, you giving Vlatko these notes bro? LMAO! And Sweden is very much a strong nation, wouldn't say powerhouse, but has very strong record against the US, your ignorance is astounding.


You know World Cup is about getting out of the group stage and having your core players rested/available. This did not happen with the USMNT. Now the women move on to the next round without Lavelle. When the Vie-Ned games was 5-0 in the first 1/2, it was time to change your tactics and think about the next game.

Squads that rely on talent always win. Teams like Japan that are team first never do well
