[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG.  It's not time to panic yet?  That's it.  I'm done.

Urgency was needed years ago to prevent the women going into the garbage heap---but now the rest of the World has caught up and will continue to glide on past.

There are too many dumb people involved in the sport in the US.  Dumb in reference to knowledge of the sport, that is.[/quote]

Other countries are gaining and and it is likely that the women's team will lose their number one rank in the near future. But to say that we are in the Garbage heap is waaaaay over dramatic and in fact is an insult to the gains that other countries have made on the women's side. Your statement implies that our women's team has gotten worse and dismissing the fact that other countries have simply improved and caught up.  It is fantastic that the women's game is growing world wide and that competitive balance will be far more widespread. Frankly, I'd rather be in the Top Five of a highly competitive field than number one against crappy competition, which is what we have been.

What is the point of doing it if it is easy? This doesn't mean that it isn't a wake-up call but we have the talent and our ability to adjust to meet the coming challenges can be met. [/quote]

If we keep relying on our physicality, as Cruyff's son-in-law said and predicted, we will not be in the top 5.  There is nothing going on in the US currently to fix the problem.  In fact, the women are copying the USMNT's failed system.[/quote]

I guess I will pull my kid out of soccer now. What is the point? If our women's national team will not be in the top why bother playing the sport at all?[/quote]
