No sh_t! How can BJ Snow who failed at UCLA (yes pretty much failed with all that talent) and the U17 YNT be promoted to the U23 WNT? Frenchy was atrocious at U20 but moves up to be an assistant with the full team? Are you kidding me. Fired!So my question to fellow forum members w/the 411 down low on YNT/WNT is....how on gods great earth do the powers at be not see this?.... Let alone do something about this?...power?.... $$?
If this were the biz world, the answer would be pretty simple.

Been following the bros for years before they even had the blog. They are trying to bring a professional culture from SA and Europe to the US. I pretty much agree with 99% of what they say. Its amazing how many boys DA try to marginalize them due to their methods as they promptly kick everyone's ass. The problem is they illuminate how deficient our coaching culture is, our player development and our identification. And well the truth hurts. It goes for both sides men and women.

I posted this before, cronyism has led to group think in the US YNT and Sr team. The head coach who was hired with a different philosophy was Tom Sermanni, but was fired after a very short stint.
That was because Wambat and all the other old cronies didn't like Sermani mixing up the soup.

I've posted more than once about Long. I don't get it either. Other than an occasional header, she brings absolutely nothing to the table.

Sorry, but I disagree. Until someone comes and prov s to be better than Krieger and Kling, don't F with it. I have yet to see anyone who is even close. O'Hara is useless.
Wait so are you agreeing or disagreeing with me?

Haha, sorry PLSAP. Too many adult beverages and read that wrong. I should not have said "disagree". I obviously agree.
Looking forward to tonights game against Brazil.
Lets hope we see a bounce back after the loss against the Aussies.
I expect more thought to go into who starts tonight, especially at the offensive end.

Looking forward as well. But, I have to be honest, I'm already thinking of my first cocktail due to anxiety over what we might see! Who has the bigger problem? Me or the team? Shit! I think it's me. I need a beer.

The UEFA Women's championship has been pretty exciting. We need to seriously be concerned with how good the European teams are looking. Germany got upset by Denmark, Austria upset Spain, the Dutch look good. We could quickly find ourselves ranked outside the top ten in the world if we don't get it together soon.

I was just saying the same thing to a buddy of mine. Dominance is no longer on our side.

It's scary how technical some of these teams are. The Dutch could be a sleeping giant.

Julie Foudy summed it all up when she mentioned Dunn's experience at her England Chelsea team. It's a slower, rhythm play with more technical players vs what she is used to with more athletic players (USWNT) and getting up the field quickly.NOT ENOUGH ALCOHOL in my house to make this look good
Good to see the old never die fight in the WNT though.

Two long balls to fast runners evened things out.
