My takeaway is that it’s not very hard to play on an “elite” soccer team if you are committed. Generally disappointed in the state of youth soccer.

It about run fast and individual play. The backline clears balls long. The backline players has done their job. It does not mater if the long ball clear is to your player or the other team. The forwards need to do their job and win those long balls. Most of the long balls or “passes” are 50/50 balls which are turnovers. That’s the game. There is little need for passing or team play. The problem is if you run into a team that is skilled and plays as a team those long balls are turnovers that after 3-4 passes are 5 yards outside your box. Elite teams do not turn the ball over.

Where can I watch these elite teams that don’t turn over the ball? Or is it just not happening until older ages?

This was u15 against number 1 ranked PDA December 2019.

Watch the first 1:25 .

So basically the most elite ECNL u15 team is still playing kick ball and can’t string together more than 2 passes? I guess I have my answer. This type of soccer is only played in Europe. This is good to know as the parent of a u12 girl that is just getting started in so called elite soccer, I should set my expectations that elite does not mean elite in soccer terms, just US soccer terms. Disappointing

Yes, set your sites lower.

Lol. GTFOH.

1. The top producers of female soccer talent in the World is America.
2. You don’t know WTF you’re watching. Game film appears slower.
3. It’s hard to connect and deal with pressure in real time. This isn’t rec. these kids are fast and aggressive which makes it harder to connect.
4. The cognitive aspect of the game kicks in later
5. Your U12 kid would probably collapse under the pressure so bite your tongue.
6. All you people do is complain, criticize, and talk down.

As I said, the historical success of the USWNT hinders the faster, deeper and broader development of girls in the US. The boys can handle all of this at earlier ages; are the girls somehow less able to do so? And even if #5 is true, isn’t that kind of proving the original point? Proper development means you learn how to deal with pressure.

I watch a lot of soccer on tv with my 11 yo DD. We watch Premier League, La Liga, Euro, Copa America. Even she won’t watch MLS or women’s college games because they are playing a different game and it’s terrible to watch. She does, however, like to watch USWNT because she idolizes them because they win and they are women which I love.

Proper grammar, subject verb agreement for starters - give it a shot some time.

So basically the most elite ECNL u15 team is still playing kick ball and can’t string together more than 2 passes? I guess I have my answer. This type of soccer is only played in Europe. This is good to know as the parent of a u12 girl that is just getting started in so called elite soccer, I should set my expectations that elite does not mean elite in soccer terms, just US soccer terms. Disappointing

Yes, set your sites lower.

Lol. GTFOH.

1. The top producers of female soccer talent in the World is America.
2. You don’t know WTF you’re watching. Game film appears slower.
3. It’s hard to connect and deal with pressure in real time. This isn’t rec. these kids are fast and aggressive which makes it harder to connect.
4. The cognitive aspect of the game kicks in later
5. Your U12 kid would probably collapse under the pressure so bite your tongue.
6. All you people do is complain, criticize, and talk down.

Trash

lol... Crystal Dunn (winger and/or striker in NWSL), plays left back for the USWNT. Yes, we produce winners. Just stick to saying we produce winners. We produce the best athletes, that's it.

You are right. Ignore the nutjob soccer mom that thinks US Women’s Soccer is quality soccer.

I watch a lot of soccer on tv with my 11 yo DD. We watch Premier League, La Liga, Euro, Copa America. Even she won’t watch MLS or women’s college games because they are playing a different game and it’s terrible to watch. She does, however, like to watch USWNT because she idolizes them because they win and they are women which I love.

My 14 year DD is the same. We watched Man City women’s when Mewis signed up early this year. That was an eye opener. 4-6 European women’s club teams would beat the USWNT right now. This could not be said 4-5 years ago. The best women’s soccer is not in the US. Mewis, Lavelle, Dahlkemper, Press and Heath got a lot better playing in England this year.

My takeaway is that it’s not very hard to play on an “elite” soccer team if you are committed. Generally disappointed in the state of youth soccer.

It about run fast and individual play. The backline clears balls long. The backline players has done their job. It does not mater if the long ball clear is to your player or the other team. The forwards need to do their job and win those long balls. Most of the long balls or “passes” are 50/50 balls which are turnovers. That’s the game. There is little need for passing or team play. The problem is if you run into a team that is skilled and plays as a team those long balls are turnovers that after 3-4 passes are 5 yards outside your box. Elite teams do not turn the ball over.

Where can I watch these elite teams that don’t turn over the ball? Or is it just not happening until older ages?

This was u15 against number 1 ranked PDA December 2019.

Watch the first 1:25 .

Lol you have no clue. It’s hard to connect and deal with pressure...that’s the game. It’s called speed of play and soccer IQ. Very soon that is all you coach will be talking about. My kid loves the tight spaces, quick passing game and takes pride playing a one or two touch game. She played with boys and older girls at u12 because they saw the game the same way she did. So sorry your kid collapses under pressure and turns the ball over.

I have no clue? Ha ha.

1- kid plays SEC
1 - kid being recruited by power 5

Again, you’re an over zealous U-little parent talking like your kid is the next big thing. You have a lot of growing up to do.

Soon enough.

Best of luck though. I wish everyone happiness. Just be careful not to step on others in the process.

What’s your accomplishments?

Proper grammar, subject verb agreement for starters - give it a shot some time.

So being an arrogant nobody is your life accomplishment. Got it.
