[quote=Anonymous]Style of play is not the same thing as an individual player’s technical ability. A player with strong technical skills would be able to play in many different systems. A player with weak technical skills would not be able to adapt. Another huge difference we are seeing emerge in this thread is the different objectives of US youth soccer as compared to European academies. In the US, as demonstrated on this thread, since most of the soccer dads just want their daughter to “win” at youth level and maybe get a college scholarship/admissions preference nod, there’s just not much emphasis on true technical development. And so winning matches in this ICC tournament means that the US girls “dominated” and are “better.” The European academies just don’t look at it that way.[/quote]
