[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told you 8 years ago.

As a woman that started playing travel soccer in the mid70s, with some of the original USWNT players--we just had a 30 year start.

Not only did other countries not allow women to play, futbol/soccer was all-male. Today, even many of the stadiums for the USMNT are all men.  And are the pubs surrounding them, etc.  It was fascinating to waltz right into the ladie's loo and be the only one there while there was a line halfway around the stadium for the men's.

The countries that know how to develop players AND identify talent have been doing for over a century.  They began applying that to their women's teams about 8-10 years ago.  They are catching up and surpassing.  You see a lot of the top women players have to go to Europe to play too.[/quote]

This. What the US did was blaze a trail for women, which is no small thing. But now that we have some real competition, we will continue to lose. As will the USMNT. And now that I’ve experienced the youth soccer system in this country, I know why. [/quote]
