[quote=Anonymous]While this particular U17 team may not have great athletes (who knows based on this one result), I don't think the problems with US men's soccer come down to the athletes playing soccer. We are traditionally strong at the U17 and U20 level and then lose ground at the full NT level(relative to our strength at the youth levels) when team tactics and soccer IQ are equally if not more important than the athleticism of our players. The problem is we don't properly identify, develop and maximize the talent we have. This comes down to coaching at every level. While I did not watch this entire match, what I did see after they scored early, was a team playing slow, plodding, aimless soccer much like the full NT did against Canada a few weeks back. [/quote]
