[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else see the striking similarities to US men’s national team? PDA is a your typical American travel team. All the girls are selected for their athleticism first. Their style of play is so linear and predictable(when they had the ball..lol).

I really do not think the PDA team could play soccer like Barca. Barca selects on different criteria. [/quote]

They could if they were taught. But to your point, the players are primarily picked for their individuality and athleticism first. Barca does place a premium on the personality as well. Barca players are also selected based on their selflessness and team first attitude.

If you watched after the celebration half of the Barca team went over to console #15 and to see if she was ok. This was a kid who hacked them every chance she had and drew a yellow card in the game and they still went over to make sure she was ok. There is the video of the Barca boys consoling a Japanese team after defeat BEFORE they celebrated. They picked kids off the ground and hugged their opponents before their own teammates.

So, no Barca would likely not have selected PDA's #15 even though she was PDA's most involved player. In Barca's eyes she was a player who was to individualistic and she did not respect her opponent. [/quote]
