[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at how crazy the Youth Travel programs are locally.  Not development, win at all cost.  The end result is all the clubs are blowing up because everyone is seeking ECNL or top league play but nobody is truly qualified for it.  When you have a group of national players who are all about how many goals they score individually, you don't win games.  PERIOD.  The style of play in the US has descended into chaos and will only get worse with the current USYNT leadership.[/quote]

Yes, and also look at all the new young talent in the USWNT, specifially this selection, the following players did not go to college or left early to go pro, I might miss one:

Horan (not young but first notable player to forgo college to go pro)
Shaw
Rodman
Smith
Moultrie
Albert
Fishel
Swanson
Thompson

ECNL again is the elite option for college, but a failing model for international soccer success and long term skill development because coaches are too powerful and play for results. Girls need pro-pathways ASAP! GA are you paying attention, this is a market inefficiency waiting for a league to create pro-pathways [/quote]

There aren't enough girls good enough to skip college to make a league focusing solely on pro-pathways viable. [/quote]
Yes there is and they’re stagnating in college.[/quote]

PP listed 9 women who went straight to the pros over the course of 12 years. How is that enough to make a youth league that disregards college recruiting and focuses on the pros viable? [/quote]
DP, but this is a really silly take.  Women couldn’t make any real money in professional soccer until very recently, so it made sense to use their talents to get college soccer scholarships.  [b]There are plenty of young U.S. women talented enough to play at the highest levels, [/b]and more and more will be following in the footsteps of those PP listed. Or they’ll leave college early to go pro. This happens with the men and MLS all the time.[/quote]

Yeah, don’t know about that. The knock rounds of the World Cup did not have many NWSL players. The US players including college are not that good. They lack technical skills and passing ability. Go watch the women’s Barcelona game. 2-3 passes and they are out of pressure, another 2-3 and they are in your box. Kick it long, it’s a turn and the box is back in your box. It’s a different and takes a different skill set vs what is selected here.[/quote]
