[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t we so lucky to have you illuminate this very complex topic with your brilliant observation. I’m sure you have many more things to mansplain but nobody cares, bud.

The ignorance and dismissiveness of the original post is the exact same brand of misogyny that has held women back from playing soccer around the world.

Go back to typing up all the little boys leagues, that’s the work of the expert.

There are plenty of articles on the subject (written by broads, no less) with a similar take.  Maybe sit down and let those of us who are less emotional (in general) discuss the issue.

The only thing that article discusses is expanded resources in different countries.  Not that women were not allowed to play in traditional soccer countries before the U.S.  Please stop trying to dig yourself out of your hole, you are embarrassing yourself.  Maybe if you stop being so emotional, I could find a “broad” to teach you some actual facts and how to do some actual research, or at least teach you how to read accurately the research you find.[/quote]

She said Light years ahead as far as playing style - if she expounded on that in her quote, it wasn't included in the article and that's what would be interesting to hear.  I agree with that for the most part - don't know if it's light years, but it's ahead.  It's an interesting topic, in my opinion.  What has Spain been able to do?  In my opinion, it's consolidating their top talent at the younger ages at a few academies.  If you look at their rosters, many of their players are coming from only a few places - Barca, Real Marid being two that are pushing the most forward to their senior teams.  Meanwhile, you have here in the US players at younger ages playing all over the place from P2P clubs, to college and even professionally in some cases.  Spain has a clear style of play and it works through their top academies to their senior team.  We here in the US, play direct college ball with unlimited subs and run, run in many cases.

I respect what Emma Hayes is trying to do - I like the fact that they have really expanded the player pool at the younger ages and are trying to get more players exposed to their philosophy.  It can only help in the long run, I just hope that she is able to get the supports that is needed and is able to continue to develop players at younger ages and pull them into the senior team.

Interesting topic for sure.[/quote]
