[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USA has no style of play. 99% of youth soccer is kick it long, take no chances and let’s hope the other team makes a mistake so our big fast girl can score and we win. ECNL is a huge issue. Claim they are the best but do nothing to elevate or enforce a style of play. You can watch it locally every week. Low block defending and hope for mistakes and set pieces that’s how our country plays it is awful. Spain teaches all of its players the same way regardless of club, and when top players migrate to top academies and national teams they have been playing with possession based principals for years and years. Because of that players have better technique, can deal with pressure and are better decision makers.

Cannot develop technique, grow resistant to pressure on the ball and develop decision making when you just kick the ball. Parents, coaches and leagues all responsible. [/quote]

That is the US style of play. It is very physical with bigger fast players. There is no midfield play, lots of one on one and long balls to run down. The US always has problems breaking down a low block defense, seeing the development of play(2-3 passes in the future), playing in tight spaces, playing under consistent defensive pressure and how to play against a team with high speed of play. If you turn the ball over against a team like Spain in 3-4 passes Spain will be in your box.

Watch the Spanish women professional teams. They train and play under pressure all the time. Their youth teams always drill with one or two players pressuring the ball- even on throw in drills. Many of the US players could not play in Spain. [/quote]
