[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lost to Canada.  3 cake walk joke games in pool play at CONCACAF...first real game against Canada.  No dice.  Who picks these players?  Who picks the coach?  USA had 5 or 6 "pros" on the roster.[/quote]

Look the US style of play is big fast physical athletes. This is the college game which is also the ECNL game. There are technically players in the US but the US system pushes them to the side and does not develop that type of talent. The US system does not produce or rely on technical players like the rest of the world does. When you have never played against a technical team with a higher speed of team play you get beat.

The national youth team wins are not important. The important thing is to continually replace older players on the national with new talent. Playing a system that depends on big, fast and physical mean you need to stay young. Any player over 26 really has to be looked at hard. Over 30 no way. If they do that they will always be in contention. Let the rest of the world play the beautiful game.[/quote]

They lost to an inferior Canadian team.  They looked small and slow.  Emma Hayes has the full team playing her style already.  [b]Need to stop picking the same players every tournament in the youth teams.[/b]  U20's don't look big or fast.  Chloe Ricketts, Kennedy Fuller etc. are 5 foot 1 and are the face of the team as "pros".  Makes ZERO sense.  There are better players at that age that deserve opportunities.[/quote]

This is very true and I think it is starting to happen. The ID Centers for younger players have expanded quite a bit and you are starting to see different names getting invited into camps at some of the younger ages.  Getting more players involved and experienced within the system will only benefit the overall team in the long run.  The work that Emma Hayes is doing to set the womens game apart from the mens game and the infusion of $$ from Michele Kang are helping this cause, but it won't happen overnight.

It's a long road to get more players in the system and up to speed, but I really think it's starting to happen.  [/quote]
