The men are newer to soccer and there are other priority sports in the US like football, basketball and baseball. In Europe, soccer is THE sport and everything else is second if they're not good enough at soccer. Watch that video and watch boys play, especially TFA youngers. You'll see something that parents of boys encourage, be fancy with your play and learn the different skill moves because the positioning and the runs can easily be learned at a later age and most kids will be able to do it if they have a decent brain.
Girls focus too much on responsibilities and not enough individual skills and selfishness because it creates results at a younger age and parents give them positive reinforcement for it. Boys care more about whether they score or did an amazing rainbow, more than winning the game at a young age. When they get to U14, then the focus goes to positioning and winning but they've already developed very great individual skills and creative touches. The girls are playing the same way all the way until they're adults. There are a few girls who don't follow this pathway but we need more in order to create a larger pool of players to compete globally now that European leagues are taking girls development into their wings and training them with their boys. Predictability in soccer is easy to defend no matter how fast and strong you are.
