[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the 2023 Women’s World Cup, there are 53 American citizens who will be representing 13 teams outside of the United States. Of course, when you add the USWNT, that brings the total to 76 players representing 14 teams at the World Cup. That’s a true testament to the sheer number of women’s soccer players we have in the United States who are elite enough to play at the international level on the world’s brightest stage.

No. That is crazy talk. This just shows the programs in many countries are not developed. Most of those countries have a pretty strong relationship with the US.- Philippines, Panama, Jamaica, Ireland, Haiti and  South Korea and do not have a domestic league. These countries have large populations in the US that are eligible to play for different countries in the World Cup. This does not mean those teams are competitive or even good. Of the teams in the quarterfinals there are 4 American players out of 184. I do not see a lot of elite American players. There are 5 women out of 184 who play in the NWSL. Clearly NWSL is a second or third tier league.

This is the problem. Americans think American women’s soccer is the best in the world. It is not. It does not pass the eye test. The problem is bigger than that. US women’s soccer(including travel, ECNL and college) does not even realize there is a problem. The players, style of play and coaching lack sophistication. The Europeans(and the rest of the world) see this and are not scared of the USWNT. They really do not respect the on field product. The US does not play or understand the game at the same level.[/quote]
