[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Higher turnover also allows you to keep the ball closer which allows for greater change of pace and direction which creates more space and time.

Not if you have a bad touch. More turnover just means you are more likely to lose the ball if you do not have the skills. Seriously there are so few female players that have the control and touch to take a defender on the dribble while still looking to pass. People mistake speed for skill. Watch what happens when the offensive player is stopped from moving forward. Do they create or is it a turnover.

Size(height and weight) plays it’s part- longer reach, more mass, stronger, etc. This is not a debate. They select speed, size and aggression. Go look at any team from u9 through USWNT.

As a side note, you can see the shortest and tallest players on the USWNT playing great soccer at Man City. If you watched the last US friendly Lavelle and Mewis are playing a different game vs the rest of the team. It’s because they are playing at Man city.

Here's your dunce cap. You're not here to learn. You're here to give misinformed rebuttals. [/quote]

This dude said go look at any U9  to USWNT. Lol. The is next level craziness. [/quote]

:roll: Sure. The players on my DD top team at u9 were big and fast for their age. At u13 selection, the ECNL coaches told the parents we are looking for size and speed. Same thing from the college coaches. Continue to talk about turnover. [/quote]

You are full of sh@t. Go take a nap[/quote]

Previous poster is exactly right.  Size and speed are the first cut at that age.  They think they can train soccer skills in.  This is why the US struggles on the men's side and will struggle more on the women's side as the world catches up.[/quote]

Already seeing it with the Spanish women. The play great soccer. [/quote]

Remind me what the Spanish women have actually won.[/quote]

They have only been heavily investing in the women's side in the last decade. But not to dig up a old discussion, feel free to watch Barcelona U15's vs PDA's U15's from last year for a sneak preview of what is yet to come.[/quote]

No need to watch youth teams. I doesn't translate. Our YNTs do not peforme like our USWNT.

Just watch the USWNT vs Spain in the last "She believes" Cup. Its apparent. Couple that performance with the World Came and its easy to see. [/quote]
