[quote=Anonymous]The problem US Soccer runs into is that in the U.S. and perhaps Canada, US women's soccer is as popular as men's soccer and certainly is much more successful in both countries. Women's participation in the sport in the US is equal to the guys as well. And, of course, US Soccer has to comply with different laws than FIFA and national teams of other countries. In my view, it has done very poorly in that task. A simple example -- we started DA teams for the guys in 2007. It took 10 years and threatened litigation to get a similar program going for girls. If you were telling me that in 1967 we would start a national development program for boys only -- you could have gotten away with it But in 2007? For 10 years? That is just silly. [/quote]
