[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, back to the topic at hand...

[b]It's interesting that FIFA is running this event yearly through 2029 all in Morocco[/b],  I think that's great in terms of bringing together top level players to gain valuable international experience.

Looking at the Round of 16 results, there were some very closely contested matches but also a bunch of blowouts as well.

So, in this round of 8, who will prevail and really ultimately win.

Brazil v. Canada
North Korea v. Japan
France v. Netherlands
Mexico v. Italy

It's pretty open, IMO, with Spain getting knocked out.

So, I'll take Canada, North Korea, Netherlands and Italy to advance.

At these ages, there is just so much flux in rosters and development of players.  I posted earlier about wondering how many U17 players are making it to the senior team?  Some, but certainly not all.

I believe that the US women are taking the correct approach at these ages and even at the senior level in really trying to expand the player pool.  Get more players exposed in the system and to the expectations, environment, etc of what's required to play at the national team level.  It's not a short term process, but think that in the long run it will pay dividends.

It’s not. It’s full-on globalism. Ask women how awesome life is in Morocco and get back to us. Whitewashing a genocidal terrorist country. [/quote]

The selection of Morocco is interesting for sure - I was surprised by that.  The event itself being run though is a good thing but maybe not the site location.[/quote]
