Even past his prime now, Messi still dominates in MLS due to his incredible technical skills. [/quote] love how folks go to messi.  Hes got strength and speed to go with insane skill..  [/quote]

Which one did he develop first?[/quote]
Not sure if this is meant to be a rhetorical question, but wouldn’t it be skill? He famously had a childhood growth disorder and when you’re THAT young, like 9 and under, size does correlate more strongly with strength and speed.

The problem with US soccer is that they never really get out of this mindset.[/quote]

Maybe the problem with US soccer is that, even if they wanted to, they can’t get out of this mindset because most US coaches don’t have and can’t teach technical skills. [/quote] no issue is the top performing males play other sports.  Soccer gets the leftovers.. and the size and speed will always best technical that are slow and small.  Lets be honest they are playing soccer in US because they cant compete in the other sports.[/quote]

Winner of most uninformed and dunce comment of the week [/quote] nope truth.  Womens soccer in US has no problem winning at national level.. why ….its a primary sport…. I know its upsetting that your kid lacks the physical attributes needed.  But awesome they can scissor the heck on a ball..  all coaches are going to see is them lose the ball after 10 yards.

The USWNT was dominant because the rest of the world didn’t invest in women’s soccer. Now that they do they are so far incrementally on the decline. [/quote]

Yes, and as the rest of the world starts to train their girls the way they train their boys (technical skills first) and the US continues to train its girls the way it trains its boys (kickball, not soccer; see US coach and dad comments above), we’re inevitablely going to see the US have a lot less success on the women’s side.
