Agree, but as I posted above, on the men's side this is changing too especially in Europe....players in the front and in the back (less so the mid) have been getting progressively taller on average over the last 20 years, which coincides with the rise and dominance of the academy system.
The size thing ebbs and flows over time. Pre tiki taka Barcelona had a sign on their recruiting office door that said if your under X size don't even bother coming in.
