Call me names all you want but have you seen the Slammers play lately? It is total U10 boot ball. It is embarrassing to watch. Another pathetic boot ball club is Surf, they come in a close second. Both have fast players to chase down those balls......

I am only stereotyping the typical SoCal player. Defensive backs that kick it to a sprinting forward. No technical ability or midfield required.

Have you ever seen Beach play? Possession out of the back. Nothing like you Arizonians play.
 
The only club in CA that trains and plays possession soccer is DeAnza. The rest of Cali relies on athletic ability. Beach is irrelevant until you win something that matters. Zoom Zoom >>>>>>>>>>>>
 
Here's the funny thing about the discussion of possession vs boot ball-
A team could possess the ball 80% of the game. But they score a goal on a quick counter by sending a forward on a through ball. That team wins 1-0 and everyone says "well, they only scored because they play kickball".
Soccer should be dynamic. Play with your strengths. Play with what the other team gives you. Hopefully the players recognize the cues to play different styles. But if a coach instructs some tactical changes to win a game, it's not the end of the world.

Possession soccer can be stuffed with quicker and better athletes. The 98 De Anza team is no more. Deza is way overrated as it's easy to be good when you have the best players in nor cal.

At the end of the day it's about winning. De Anza can posses the ball 90% of the time but if two long balls get thru they lose 2-0.

You are now comparing apples and oranges in regards to the development path between boys and girls! Pulisic is better and will continue to be better than Morris no doubt about that. Better training and competition in Germany as long as he continues to earn playing time there. Proving USSDA Boys is inferior leaving at 16 yrs of age for Dortmund. After a decade of boys USSDA developing 12 yr olds, who are now 22, yet the Mens U23 FAILED to qualify for the Olympics. USDDA sure is progressing the Boys development.

As for women, different environment and where we differ. You assuming, is exactly that assuming.

My stepfather is in his 60s, Dortmund's youth academy has been around before him and he will tell you their German club boys academies are NOT in it's early stages....it was free for him to attend their academy which includes free board and education....duh! Want to hear his exact words, when he asked why parents pay for club soccer? It's STUPID to be paying for soccer, itshould be FREE!

USSDA is progressing boys development, college is the depriment to american soccer, we have plenty of good young soccer players that are left behind in the ages of 18 and 22 not 10 to 17 in pure soccer development, I already said that, and I stand by it. and US soccer happens to agree, hence they are in repair mode. apples and oranges, I believe you brought Jordan Morris into this discussion?
our u23 team is made up of mostly what? college players? players who have to subsidise their own trg and hope they can catch on to a pdl team close by to get additional playing time and exposure during A LOT of soccer down time? Our u23 compete against international teams who have you know academy and professional players?

My assumptions are closer to reality than your assumptions of a womens league that will supposedly never prosper.
With only 10 teams in the NWSL 6 now have a direct player pipeline through DA, that is 60% and it will grow as will the league. it is only a matter of time before more young men sign pro contracts at 18 and bypass college and that dumb draft and women will follow suit, it is the natural progression. MLS and NWSl will grow, they will create jobs, they will create even more soccer interest, it will create soccer minds and with that will come more player opportunities. Expansions will come and with that new academies will form. how do you know what goes on behind the scenes and what new affiliations are being formed? How do we know what the actuall criteria were to be selected into DA, one would assume a path to professional soccer is one.

I'm not stretching this discussion more by adding additional topics such as you wanting to play for free and the history of german soccer academies. I played in Germany until 1996(not saying I was any good) and yes it was free.

That is it for me my man, this discussion with you is going nowhere because you do not have an open mind and you don't believe in growth and creating additional opportunities for others.
Good luck with your outlook.

To whom?

I get that it matters to the player. Not sure why it would matter to the parent or the college coach. Parents should support their kids regardless of whether they are on a championship team or not. College coaches recruit players not teams.
