[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you read the article about the extent that Olivia Moltries parents went to get her on a pro team? They built a soccer turf in their backyard and flew her to other countries to train and try out. And flew her all around the country for training at younger ages.[/quote]

That’s supporting their child. That’s not pulling strings.[/quote]
Supporting your child is fine but the parents shouldn't need to be flying their kids around the world just for soccer Development.

Moultrie might be the real deal she also might be the result of crazy parents raining $$$ on anyone and everyone. This is the problem with women's soccer in America. It's still a game of who you know.

ECNL personifies pay to play. The people that defend it like their private club and don't want others getting in.

Women's soccer needs acadamies to get to the next level. If this doesn't happen Europe and other countries will catch up with America and NWSL will become a 2nd rate league. (Just like MLS)[/quote]
Of all the possible scenarios, NWSL becoming a 2nd rate league behind Europe is by far the most likely. Not because of anything NWSL does or doesn’t do, or how youth leagues are structured. But because of the soccer culture in the US vs Europe. Already we see the best pro women players are going to play in Europe. Just like the men have done. Europe is the pinnacle of soccer because it’s the #1 sport in their culture. I don’t see that changing. [/quote]
