[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It will be quite long before US WNT wins the World Cup.  I didn't think they were going to win it to begin with.  They are not as good as they used to be.  Other countries are pouring money into their programs.  To make it worse, they came in thinking they were the best.  Bad attitude.  Lack of focus.  Bad coaching.  List goes on and on.

I am not particularly impressed with Sophia Smith and other younger talent.  She has lot to learn, if she works hard.  Otherwise, she is just an average player.  I am not even going to get into others, because they are equally bad if not worse.

At the end of the day, this team was hyped by media and many.  Reality is they weren't that good. [/quote]

Good points, especially regarding Sophia Smith. For all of the talk (and complaints) about the older players, this was the time for a 22 year old who is the reigning US Player of the Year and NWSL MVP to shine. I just don’t think she’s good enough technically to be a dominating force in a World Cup. For instance, on the ball that found her near the back post vs Sweden, she was unmarked and should have been alone with the keeper. Her touch on the ball, though, was so heavy that the ball ended up going about 8-10 yards towards the keeper and nothing came of it. That’s the type of play that needs to be made.[/quote]
