[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] competitive soccer in the mid 70s-80s here in the DMV was big. Ironically, Jill Ellis was part of it. BRYC Bluebelles and Robinson HS. Mia Hamm was a few years behind. Christian Pulisic’s mother, Kelly. Springfield/Burke had great girls’ programs. US definitely had a different attitude than all the “typical” soccer countries which did not support girls playing soccer until fairly recently.[/quote]
