[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Older ECNL parent here.  With the goal of college in mind, even the team performance isn't as important as the individual.  It really is all about your DD and playing in ECNL and your club go to pedigree.

On social media I saw a class of 2025 Union player commit to UCLA but the team is nowhere near the top of the mid atlantic let alone nationally.[/quote]

Agreed, with my DD already committed. She has less interest on showcases and winning nationals than she does to continue on what her college coach has asked her to work on. With 7 commits already on the team, no kid seems to care about winning/losing these games...focus is definitely shifted to individual improvement....I do not think USA youth soccer will ever be set up to give 2 sheets about team winning...it has turned into a college soccer recruiting swamp[/quote]

This is why the European have past the US in terms of women soccer. These are the ages where you learn how to play soccer as a team. This is just not the USWNT thing. Girls/women’s ECNL, College, Pro all play the same way because of this. It is some ugly and not really good soccer.

The USWNT in ‘23 if put back in 2015 and 2019 would have won the World Cup. The 2015 and 2019 teams would have lost in 2023. Things have changed. The athleticism and speed have equalized and it becomes a skill game.[/quote]
