[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That game was beyond bad last night.  I can't imagine people enjoyed that game.  Playing Paraguay and Chile is a total waste of time and should be a scrimmage held at practice.  Watching Trinity Rodman dance after scoring the 5th goal against tiny 16 year old players from Chile is embarrassing.  They might as well just come and play one of our DMV girls club teams and televise it.[/quote]

I agree. Not exactly prime time stuff, still too much hype w Trinity. Watched her at Audi field last season, and she would be good for 15 mins tops. The rest of the time was filled with jogging, complaining and being hurt.  But the sponsors love her, so now we get to watch her dance after scoring on 16 year olds.[/quote]

So the ladies should sit out in protest when US Soccer arranges a friendly against an opponent that's not worthy in your eyes?

You think everything in soccer is just about the win, when the coaches have their eyes on multiple things regarding individuals and the team tactical philosophy [/quote]

You're not as smart as you think you. Doing something against a severely overmatched opponent is completely different than doing it against even a &quot;medium&quot; competitive opponent.

Just because you can pull a &quot;poor&quot; (skill not money) player's pants down and embarrass them it doesn't always translate to playing that way against an average to exceptional player.

As foe the dancing,  act like you have been there and treat those players with a touch of respect. Recognize they are doing their best and you just happen to be better. [/quote]

And get off my lawn while you're at it. Let them have some fun. And, by the way, that dance =&gt; casual views =&gt;fans.[/quote]

well enjoy the dancing against 16 year old's from Chile.  the top 10 teams in the world have caught us.  those countries have a development system and very deep pockets for women's soccer.  we have a massively expensive ecnl youth league, college, politics and favorites.  trinity rodman is not developing like she should be...she is popular and getting paid.  Hopefully her new contract will continue to grow the NWSL to a much higher level.  [/quote]

You do know that the top college teams could beat lots of professional teams, right? There are players that don’t even start in college that signed professional contracts in leagues and other countries.

The last major tournament was the Olympics. USA won that too. If Trinity Rodman isn’t developing then whose fault is that? US Soccer? I think that Trinity and Trinity‘s club are responsible for Trinity‘s development..[/quote]
It’s ridiculous to say she isn’t developing. She is one of the top players in the league and keeps winning wherever she goes (Spirit and USWNT). She has been sidelined quite a bit by injuries. The idiots here think development just means fancy soccer moves. But that’s not her strength. She leans into what she is good at, as she should, and does what she can to help her team win. She brings an energy and leadership that is noticeable when she is on the field. Emma Hayes, who knows more about women’s soccer than any of you, clearly thinks she is one of the best players. I’m sorry it doesn’t fit your keyboard warrior definition of development. [/quote]

She is a very good player and great at everything you just described.  She has improved since the world cup where she should have been benched along with Rapinoe, but let's be honest, she could be the best player in the world if she had great skill.  Her skills are good.  Her social media and marketing skills are great.  That's just my solo opinion.  [/quote]

Fantastic player, world class.  I have a personal preference for Mallory and Sophia’s technical skill and movement on and off the ball.  Trinity is certainly the straw that stirs the drink though.  They are a very effective group who should have been playing more minutes together in prior cycles to the Paris Olympics.
