[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They caught up fast because of the soccer cultures. It makes complete sense. If you take a soccer culture like Brazil, Spain or Germany and provide opportunities to women, the women's game will take off because of the institutional knowledge that is leveraged.

Japan is a better case. I honestly don't know enough about Japan to comment but the country does not seem to be as focused on sports as the rest of the world yet has competitive men's and women's soccer. My guess is that Japan's success is driven by the fact that there is limited competitio for the player pool and that the entire nation is focused on soccer. [/quote]

institutional knowledge

You're exactly right. This is the problem.

I have been trying to get someone to finally say it. Its not about the league. It's not about the population. Its about the ability to develop the kids we have into world class players.

Truth being. WE CAN NOT.

We have enough players. They are athletic enough. We dont need a bigger pool. We need a better system.

The USSDA is a crutch. Good for college bound kids. Inferior for international level kids.

The USSF = fat lazy old man picking at the low hanging fruit.

USSDA is not an academy. It's a league bearing the name Academy.
