[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait a minute. The narrative that the US team can’t compete with the world because our youth system is trash and needs to be completely uprooted, and everything Spain is doing should be copied by everyone else, that whole narrative maybe turns out to be just a little overblown? So many bad takes on here by people who think they know everything there is about soccer. [/quote]

Becasue they lost one game? Really? 
In the past decade, the Spanish women's team has gone from nothing to the best in the world, while the US has gone in the other direction. 
The narrative is correct. [/quote]

Spain is very good. But I’d suggest that the Netherlands women’s team from 2019 was better a more complete team playing a very similar style.

From 2003-2011 the USWNT had some years of underperforming as they phased from 99ers, to Wambach, to Rapinoe / Morgan years. This Chicken Little routine is so old at this point. We’re really blessed with a very deep bench in the US for women’s football, that we constantly manage poorly and still were consistently the team to beat and fear. Ask Spain if they’d rather play Brazil or the US…even after today they’d still pick Brazil.
