[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was a good read, thanks. One thing that comes to mind for me, is that this kind of home grown development by pro clubs is not nearly as common on the girls side, and yet, the country is hugely successful at the WNT level, and is producing lots of stars. The soccer economy for women is markedly different, and so is the development pathway. There is more than one way here.[/quote]

Sure - our women are stars relative to other countries because far more of our girls particpate in soccer and our infrastructure for women is far more developed than other countries' infrastructure for women.  In nearly all countries girls simply do not play soccer any more than they play American football here.

And our men are not as successful for exactly the same reason.  Fewer particpate than other countries and our infrastructure is less developed (for men) than theirs.

In other words men face a completely different level of competition than women and therefore what currently works for women would absolutely not work for men.
