[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many reasons for the poor performance. None of which has to do with youth soccer.

Florida is about 1.5 times bigger than Portugal.

The Netherlands is larger than the state of Maryland, but smaller than West Virginia.

I disagree, everything wrong with USWMNT and USMNT has everything to do with youth soccer.

A previous post mentioned that the technical players can really only play well with other technical players.  Perhaps this is why the lack of quality skills and passing is jarring. As another poster said, some of the younger teams are playing well technically. And I do see some of this in the DC area for youth teams.  So perhaps they had been a change in development and the younger players are more technical. I think the coach should have put on the younger players early on and sub those who really are lacking technical skills (eg Morgan).

As to the USMNT, most of the best players have been trained outside of the US and that explains a lot as to the quality of youth development for the boys side.

Even if some had spend time in the US in the early years, those boys likely relied on their parents or private coaches to guide their development and were just in clubs to play in games. [/quote]
