Coach, this is expensive!
You are smart enough to realize I am talking about college soccer again yes?
Men and women are different and comparing their sports performance against each other is stupid other than to note they are different. The only true way to do the comparison would be to incorporate total lifetime physical performance, and since women can grow a human, men lose in that comparison.
absolutely. But when saying mens soccer sucks as a blanket statement a comparison can be made. Look I think Mia Hamm was a better soccer player than Landon Donovan based on ability. I also coach only girls teams these days because thereis beauty in their game (younger ages) as opposed to boys the same age who want to run forward and thru walls and score goals. Boys learn possession later in the game. Please know parents can play a role in all this.
No, coach...Tigres won that game. And for the most part Liga MX Femenil is a U23 development league with restrictions on older players.
The reason for the prohibition on foreign players in Mexico is because Mexico is trying to remedy years of excluding women from the game. If Mexico allowed foreigners from the outset, the league would’ve been full of girls from the US and Europe and Mexican girls would still be excluded. After 3 years the league is starting to open up to foreign players. Trust me, Mexico no longer needs US players.
UCLA could beat an NWSL team? Seriously?
No that is my point. Tigres owned a second half against reserves. UCLA beats most of LigaMX Feminal teams in my opinion. Cruz Azul in the match I watched was lacking sharpness, defensive marking was full of gaps. Had the team they played passed to the ten and dropped to the eight more often then they would have had more opportunity as Cruz Azul in their defensive third sucked into the 12. When Pumas shot it was without target and at the keeper. Now Pumas had space and possessed better but chance came off shots outside the eighteen which were pushed away and smothered not caught. I am say UCLA is better than Cruz Azul for sure. Pumas was good but not better than NWSL teams.
Remember.... you do not watch college soccer.. you also do not answer questions that you can not answer. I am not an expert and there are many coaches out there that may see your side or my side. It is opinion. I tell you that you see your side because you are within the trees and do not see the forest. The same may be said for me. Until there is true proof we only have thesis. Right now facts outweigh theory. Now that could change but not anytime soon. Again you deflect from college conversation and I jump right into the rabbit hole.
The Xolo’s...we are a regional California team. A team without borders is our philosophy. You make valid arguments so I concede. However, I would say starting with Mexico’s 2005’s and younger you will see Mexico turn a corner. Don’t forget FIFA is also implementing their pilot program in Mexico. Better yet, when ya gonna bring your girls down for a friendly so we can teach you about real tacos and Futbol...Has your team ever ate tacos and played Futbol coach?
definitely not tacos and then soccer. and it better be lengua or tripe just for reference for me. 05s are u14? Is the FIFA pilot similar to DA or is it you suck so go home rules? It now takes a passport and travel neither of which my u12 team has or does a whole lot. Twice a year is good for them. Feel free to convince your fully funded program to come to Vegas. Vegas Cup, Mayors Cup, Players... we have plenty of solid tournaments.
05 are U15 -- some pretty solid clubs around the country at this age
We’re tired of sending our c teams to win it all.
And that’s when you can start holding Mexico accountable. Which clubs have the top U15’s?
The FIFA pilot is funding for a YNT program with independent FIFA scouts and coaches. Liga MX Femenil is a fully funded developmental women’s league.
