Could be. Although there's a thread for each game and constant whining about the state of USWNT in other threads so some people somewhere care.[/quote]

The state of USWNT is currently the US has won 1 game in regulation in the Olympics. [/quote]

Don't be salty now that the US advanced and you were wrong about them losing to the Netherlands 6-0.[/quote]

I never made such a prediction. But this Olympic performance is nothing to be proud of.

Sorry, but one regulation win in four games for the top ranked team in the world is abysmal. [/quote]

Oh well. Onto the medal round![/quote]

Terrific.

Backing into the medal round. We'll all be a so excited to watch them in the Bronze medal game and you can perpetuate the myth that US Soccer will stay on top.

What is frustrating is a vast majority of American Soccer fans truly enjoy this brand of soccer as it erodes in front of them.

I want better for our soccer program and you don't. [/quote]

What makes you think that the US should win all the time? We have a particular style that has worked well for us for a decade. That's an anomaly. Nobody stays at the top for long.
Even with our geriatric group, todays game was still pretty damn competitive and fun to watch. Moving forward, the USWNT needs to adjust just like everyone else has adjusted to us. And they will. Be happy for the competition and that we're still in the top five. We won't always be, so be happy.[/quote]

:roll:

We have a lead on international soccer that we are squandering because we are either to stubborn, to scared or to ignorant to take risks necessary to move ahead.

Our domestic league is falling behind and our best players will not be able to compete in Europe without the right passport or until at least 17 years old. The best players are going to be trained through their youth in Premier League, La Liga academies etc.

Our best will play in college as essentially part-time athletes to then be drafted into NWSL. The only US players who will have an opportunity to play in Europe would be WNT players further diluting our own domestic league.

So while the best European players will be playing professionally form 17 years old on our best will be balancing advanced HS style soccer with college Calc.

Our potential best will be shut out of Europe during the most important professionally developmental years and thus falling behind. [/quote]

Ok, Henny Penny, that will be enough. That's not the way it works at all. Nobody stays on top forever because there is ceiling on performance. [/quote]

In this case you are the Henny Penny. You’re just gonna throw your hands up in the air and accept that “nobody stays on top forever”. I’m actually claiming otherwise just that we need to accept that we need to make changes to remain on top for the next generation.
