[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the original question that was posed in this thread was, how technical are the girls?

The thread has now diverged into a discussion of the future prospects of the women's national team. Although the two might be related to an extent, it appears that even those commenters who are confident that the women's national team will remain an international force for decades to come have recognized that the girls aren't very technical. And the video evidence from that entire tournament--not just the PDA vs Barca final--would substantiate that conclusion.

When elite girls teams can win at the highest levels without playing technical soccer, there is very little pressure on American coaches and clubs to implement the type of intense technical training that would be necessary to change things up. Because "winning" at youth levels is prioritized over technical development.[/quote]

I don't think people have come to your "consensus" that girls aren't very technical.   One game doesn't substantiate a conclusion and as another poster pointed out, [b]American teams dominated other European teams.[/b]

This dead horse argument just keeps on riding, doesn't it?[/quote]

Again, you’re focusing on the wrong questions and demonstrating the precise problem pointed out in the post you responded to. “Dominated” how? Because they won games? How does a score line prove technical ability?
