If the Fuller girl is the future of our full team then we need to change something fast. There are great players out there that are obviously not getting evaluated properly.
What do you mean? She didn't play well or she played so much better than everyone else?
Kennedy Fuller looks like an above average DMV ECNL player. She was not good last night. She is not the future of US women's soccer. I'm not being a hater. I watched the game and rooted for all of them. We were BAD. They are just kids so it's certainly understandable. These girls turning pro at 16 is not the answer to player development.
I agree with kids turning pro at an early stage. 14, 15, 16 seems to be too young. Everyone knows that Freddy Adu burned out way too early. I wouldn't be surprised if we same similar things from these girls going pro too early. NWLS teams seem like they are in a race to sign 14-16 year olds just to keep up with other teams that do it. There are a lot of examples of of young European Pros who burned out and peaked way too early and now they work menial manual labor jobs in their mid-20's It's slippery slope for sure.
