[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at USWNT if you don’t believe spots are about politics most of the time.[/quote]

I’m the college mom PP. The current USWNT is just a predictable demonstration of the failure of the ECNL and MLSNext systems. Once the rest of the world started taking women’s soccer seriously, it was only a matter of time before the weaker and toxic ECNL/club system failed when faced with superior international training. It was obvious back when the Euros were going on that the USWNT would be lucky to exit the group stage in the World Cup: the Euros play was so much faster and better than what the USWNT were playing at the time.

I have another kid who plays at a college-recruit level in another sport (still in HS) and the weakness of ECNL/MLSNext/club system is just so glaring in comparison. I think the US women won’t be as dominant again, at least not for a long time. Their pipeline is too weak, and that’s because of the ECNL and club system. [/quote]

What would you change?[/quote]

I’m not PP. I think US Soccer needs to ID girls very early on at all clubs and also with regular open tryouts. And then I would require girls be pulled out regularly from their clubs for practices and to keep tabs on their training to make sure they are being developed properly (and supplement their training if necessary).  I think this would even out the pool and help natural talent develop instead of being lost due to other more athletic girls having the resources to supplement their training. It would also even out the disparity in training.

Obviously, US soccer needs to develop a curriculum of development. Or maybe just borrow some other countries and implement that.[/quote]
