[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correct - and now the MFs that were recently converted to the back as a pro are actually center backs because they played there as a youth! LOL

Maybe we are all fullbacks! I do think the Neymar and Ronaldo are secret fullbacks but not sure about Messi he seems more of a CB. [/quote]

The same posters, taking everything personal again.  You made a simple mistake about Dunn's background.  She was not and never has been a career midfielder.  If such a versatile player as her were to get any label, it would be forward.  That is the position she spent the most time as during her youth.  Even then, she played other positions, and when she went to college, she played forward, outside back and center back.  When she played for Spirit's pro team, she came on as forward.

I get it.  You love midfield and your kid probably plays it.  But soccer requires 11 players on the field, and the smart move is to have little Mia play multiple positions.  If you don't want to do that, fine.  Just don't be surprised if later on, little Mia finds herself passed over in favor of players with a bigger resume.

Incidentally, Japan, whose women's program rivals our own in being among the top programs in the world, takes the versatile approach.  They want any player to be able to move anywhere on the field.  [/quote]

No we are laughing at your posts because you think 'versatile players' and backs are the most in demand. That's just plain wrong. Why is Crystal Dunn not the highest paid female player? Because Alex Morgan has a more valuable skill than her. Why is Marta paid so much? Because like Morgan she has the rare skill that everyone wants - scoring goals. I love defense too. But look at the thread title - sorry but it is not the backs.

Oh I realize you are laughing.  Donkeys are good at laughing too.  You just don't know yet the joke is on you.

You use Dunn as an example of how easy it is to move a MF to wing back when it suits you, but dump her and say she's less important when you discover she isn't a midfielder.

She is also young, much younger than the players you mentioned, so it will take more time for her to reach that senior level of importance.  Keep dumping on her though.  Some lessons are best learned the hard way.[/quote]
