Sheriff Joe said:
You and your friend have some pretty informative posts and you 2 honeymooners know much more about soccer than I ever will and I am sure your players are great, I feel sorry for your kids having to put up with you 2. It is truly amazing they have been able to over come your petty need to put down others, including kids, and become successful. Peace Out.

Don't start a war of words that you can't finish you pansy.

I'm fishing and you seem to like my lure. By the way, my lure is a a picture of Trump. LMAO!

BTW, why did you go from UCLA to D3 (nothing wrong with D3), but what gives?

I am just messing with you guys and I know MAPs kid goes there and you would follow that lure.
My kid doesn't even know what her major will be, so like I said, we have time.

I find it ironic, an abundance of posters in every age group throughout the years have posted why doesn't the US coaches pick the smaller technical player who plays with flash. Well Ashley is that player and here you are posting she is to small. I hate to break it to you but the smaller U20 North Korea and Japanese teams dominated our big, fast, strong direct playing U20 team.

Lastly have you ever seen Marta upclose (as in face to face close)? I have when she was with the LA SOL. She is 5'3" and doesn't have the thick lower body of a Crystal Dunn or Amy Rodriguez either. If anything Ashley's body will evolve with strength training into a Megan Klingenberg.

I'm not talking height, but strength. I'm not saying she's bad, just questioning "how good" or "amazing" she will become. As a forward whose game entails a lot of 1 v 1, strength will always be a component. I'll give you a good example, when Neymar first came to Barcelona there was all this talk that he was the next soccer phenom. At that time, strength was a huge hole in his game, at least in terms of being considered a phenom and amongst the very best. He was on his ass all the time, getting pushed off the ball and couldn't penetrate defenses, even 1 v 1's. His game was limited to the perimeter and diminished his effectiveness, at least when compared to the likes of Zlatan, Messi, Ronaldo, & Suarez. Of course he was still good and dynamic player then, but as he's gotten stronger he's a much better player.

Another example was UCLA's team this year when Jenkins went down. They were a very good possession team and consistently got it down to the final third but then they stalled because nobody could get through. And although they were good at possessing, they didn't have the dynamic creativity of a team like Japan to break through, at least consistently.

I'm absolutely with you on the size thing and Japan/Korea. I've seen too much big for the sake of big. Hopefully she can add muscle and strength to add to her game and take it to another level. FYI, I have never seen Marta in person, but I see a lot of ripped muscle here. Looks a lot like Crystal Dunn to me.

You wish that you knew where my kid went to school. Again your player will never be on the same field as her so let it go. I get it you have a small penis and nothing better to do. Move along.

I would say UCLA's problem was a formation change due to tactics used against them nothing more. Once they changed formation they only gave up one goal the rest of the way and out possessed the teams they played 65%+. I would say Fleming is as dynamic a player as there is in the world. Teams would play 9-10 behind the ball and with only two forwards it was a little more difficult task.

First if all you posted she will be a "BUST". A BUST is a Ryan Leaf or Brian Bosworth.

You are contradicting yourself with your Neymar and Marta example. I will bet both of those players were on the slight side at 17 yrs old like Ashley. As I posted, give her time to hit the weights in college and she will be fine....it's easy gaining strength. She will have more time to get ripped like Marta when she plays professionally.

As for UCLA lacking that player who can break down a team in the final third. That is Ashley's strength, breaking a team down in the final third. You didn't see her do that on the U20 squad, because the US was always bunkering and counter attacking.
