I know US Soccer isn't possession. Just because a team dominated possession doesn't mean they play tiki-taka. Even Real Madrid and Chelsea will have more possession than their opponents, but it doesn't mean their style is tiki-taka too.
Do you believe US Soccer girls and boys are going to play tiki-taka soccer in the future? It isn't going to happen.....just watch the US YNT's style of play. It's exactly the same as the Sr teams. US Soccer will always lean towards athleticism over technical ability. What they are trying to do though is play direct with the ball on the ground vs longball over the top. Defensive organization, playing with heart, high pressure, being extremely fit and strong will always be the US foundation though.
Hope Solo may NOT be a role model, or the best human being and I have never been a huge fan of hers, but she is arguably the best womens national team GK the US has ever produced. Anybody to post she isn't is silly!
As for comparing Ray Rice to Hope Solo. Both of their cases were dismissed by their judges, but Ray Rice knocked out his wife, dragged her lifeless body out of the elevator and it was all caught on video. Hope Solo, on the ofher hand assaulted her nephew who is 6'9" 280 lbs. I will admit both assaults are wrong and against the law, but you tell me which is worse? A man should never hit a women!
