For the mighty USA and all its GA ECNLs and College idiosyncrasies it’s not an achievement, it’s actually a failure not make the final. But u probably hand out participation trophies so no surprise there [/quote]

Agreed.  Colossal failure.  Yet more circumstantial evidence that the US Youth Soccer &quot;system&quot; is broken.  Starts with these top travel teams/leagues fleecing families out of tens of thousands every year with promises of advanced training by professional coaches, yada-yada-yada.  These girls are the creme de la creme U20S and U17s in the nation, yet they both get ousted by North Korea in the semis.

I'd bet those N. Korean parents aren't taking out second mortgages to finance their DDs soccer dreams like many American families.  I'd bet those parents aren't flying across their country for ridiculous tournaments and showcases.  It's been a rude awakening to see our nation's best kids be taking to task on the soccer field these N.Korean teams.  IMO, the onus for these failures lies squarely on the shoulders of these &quot;top&quot; leagues and US Soccer.  Perhaps we need to start sending our coaches over to NK to get properly certified and licensed because it's certainly looking like a North Korean soccer license &gt; US Soccer license.  [/quote]

Are North Korean families permitted to travel across their country? Are mortgages a thing in North Korea?

Rude awakening for who? North Korea has won 2 U17 World Cup tournaments. USA has never won a World Cup and have only made the semifinal once. That was in 2008.[/quote]
