[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other countries don’t encourage and support young girls to play sports the way people in the US do. NPR did a story last week about how few girls in France play soccer- they are encouraged to dance but not to do sports that are seen as aggressive. If you are in a country that has fewer girls playing sports, it is more difficult to have enough women playing at a high enough level to be competitive in the World Cup. [/quote] Um, France is the co-favorite in the tournament. [/quote] Still holds. So in France there are fewer girls playing and they receive less support, but at the same time they know how to teach children how to play soccer. And as countries that know how to play soccer build their female player pools, I predict that the USWNT will end up in the same relative position as the USMNT. [/quote] Bold prediction, as anyone that follows soccer has been predicting this for years. Kudos though. [/quote]
