Thanks for pointing this out. Objectively speaking, I'd like to think this is very good news. Looks like the position was created for an Operational Change Manager.  Perhaps someone with some power to cut through some red tape and provide good direction to US Soccer.

A World Cup year always picks up some momentum and things happen. It looking like this next World Cup will provide cascading benefits for the US; we can only hope right?!    [/quote]

Besides money benefits, what others?
 6 months aways from biggest soccer competition in the world and still nobody consumes MLS or NWSL outside of our borders. Our national team for men still sucks azz and the women’s is in clear decline since we basically bulldozed the last wc.

Our colleges each year recruit more foreigners and that is also something you can see in our dmv youth coaching scene. Looking forward to hearing from you soon![/quote]

The men are fine. 14th in the world. The women are ranked second in the world and won the last global competition. [/quote]

Your knowledge of the current status quo is akin to the women’s coach aversion to health/fitness [/quote]

The US women’s side is only about fitness. Their technical anns soccer iq are just so far behind the rest of the world.[/quote]

You can’t speak facts and empirical evidence on this board, sorry mate. They’ll also say your claim is absurd because *checks notes* “we have 4 world cups

They’ll neglect that they won when most of the planet didn’t care nor had a female soccer team and their wins came vs the same regurgitated and subpar teams. [/quote]

Yep. Watching the “best” women soccer players inability to string 3 passes together is shocking. How many times does a US women’s player not under pressure make a “pass” that goes out of bounds or to the other team. Meanwhile the Spanish women’s national team players live in the tight spaces under pressure. Their ability to break pressure with 2-3 passes and threaten from anywhere on the field is the modern games.

The problem is technical players need other technical players to develop. These players are not making through the youth system on the women’s side. The women’s US national team is the product of a system that devalues technical play. [/quote]
