[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great points, but keeping players on the NT just to keep eyes on the product is a silly move and that's been the case.  NT should field the best players that fit their model based on merit, not their followers on IG.[/quote]

The negative nancy shooting down the potential of this doesn't understand that the US talent pool could theoretically produce 5 national teams that could qualifty for the world cup. Dual nats are already in fashion. Pick a country in Latino America or SE Asia and with some thought and energy boom national team full of american born girls if they so desired. This is without development academies. Small minds lead to minmal impacts

Potential is everywhere. Just because there is potential doesn't mean it will be realized.

I believe some form of professional academy system will happen, but such a system will not happen in time for anyone's kids who is reading this thread. It just isn't and all your hopium isn't going to conjure a girls professional academy system next year just because SYC is in GA.

NWSL is not even popular enough to have 20 teams and you want a fleshed out academy system? How about NWSL just focus on making their league popular and viable and grow at its pace. Currently they get to draft players out of college for free. That's a price point that is hard to beat.  [/quote]

SYC is so irrelevent to this debate you must be a McBrave worrier. Back to the topic, How does USWNT not lose to Mexico and other burgeoning programs, invest in talent through development not competitions that only attract high level players banging their feet against each other. Development will attract serious high level players, and the level will rise with time, but in the next 5 years (I'll take under, you can take over) there will be a development pipeline for girls to become professional[/quote]

Look at a map of the United States. Now look at a map of NWSL teams. A pipeline to the pros would have to be residential unless you're just forgetting about half the country. Do you the the NWSL has the money for that or the desire to do it when they can just let clubs and colleges provide them with talent at no cost? US soccer may want it, but US soccer does not have the resources to underwrite. MLS academies are just starting to be serious enterprises, but 1) MLS is much better funded than NWSL and 2) MLS clubs are paid if and when the players to produce go to Europe [/quote]
