[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think other countries will be able to beat USA this year? It’s USA doing enough to keep winning championships? 
 I know football is growing a lot with girls in Europe and in Brazil and Argentina.[/quote]

I'd look at England giving the US a tough time.  I think we are falling behind in one area: Academy Development.  In England, they now have residential girls academies nested with the big Premier League Clubs.  Other clubs in Europe are now planning for girls academies as well.  There are a few youtube videos about girls in England at the age of 16 being selected and training full time at these academies.  I haven't read much more than this, but it would seem NWSL should have a developmental program on par with MLS's homegrown academy players.  In this regard, we are likely to see European nations start to advance their game more than the US in the next 3-5 years.

Until the US ditches the pay to play model (hint: never going to happen), and starts developing raw talent for every player, we will keep on falling behind[/quote]
