[quote=Anonymous]Here's the issue - it used to be that any 20-year old "phenom" female player had an elevator straight up to the full national team. Think Rose Lavelle, Alex Morgan... they had no real competition. Now all these "phenoms" opting out of college soccer and signing at 16 years old have the other 2008 "phenoms" to compete against, the 2007 phenoms, the 2006 phenoms, and then the all-Americans coming out of college and foreign national team players settling down in the US. We do not have a real pyramid where say choley rickets can start and play a full 90 in the 3rd tier of women's soccer on loan from the spirit. This is what is done in every other country with a legit soccer system. After 1-2 years of playing full 90s for a lower division team, Spirit loses a key player and boom she is ready to go. But instead they have her sitting on the bench watching everyone else play and will probably sign another 16 year old to do the same next year.[/quote]
