![]() There’s still a huge amount of talent in this US team but with so many of the squad playing solely in the NWSL, it doesn’t offer enough diversity to their squad in terms of playing against different styles. They will be staying home on contracts at their clubs. Going forward, I’d be shocked if the top young players in England and Europe go to America anymore to play in the collegiate game. But I do not believe that going to play in the US college system is a better one for the players. Going to the US for academic reasons, for lifestyle reasons, are wonderful ones. ‘I’d be shocked if the top young players in England go to America anymore to play in the collegiate game’ Take the likes of Lauren James: playing with boys all the way up to a certain point, then entering pro environments from an earlier age, has benefited her greatly, much more so than a very short collegiate system. People often say we would scream out for a collegiate system here in England. In contrast, Spain and Japan have enjoyed success at both these tournaments. It is a similar story in the Under-17 World Cup, which the US have never won. The US haven’t won the Women’s Under-20 World Cup for 11 years – North Korea have actually won it more recently – and they haven’t made it out of the group stages since 2016. For the US, there needs to be a bigger conversation about their collegiate system and youth development as well as the NWSL.įor some time at youth international level, the US have had a dire record. It is not that the team are necessarily failing, and it is not just about this team or this coach. ![]() My feeling is that the US as a nation will have to adapt its expectations around international success in women’s football. I know first hand at Chelsea how challenging that is, to keep winning again and again. They have won for so long that everybody just expects them to win. They seem to me like a team that is very stressed, but it is also important to point out that the pressure on the US is greater than any other nation. Portugal were the width of a post away from knocking the holders out and it is evident that the US are not the force they once were. On the pitch, however, there are problems and these have not just happened overnight. But the US women’s national team have always stood for promoting equality and I think their messaging over the years has been crucial for women all over the world. Whether that means there is a division in the squad, I don’t know I just think that sums up US politics over the past five or more years – maybe there is a division in that regard. ![]() As we have seen in this World Cup, it is moving away from the traditional big guns – and the four-time champions, the United States, have flattered to deceive.Ī lot has been said about some players not singing the US anthem while others are singing it. I did also install it today on on other computer at work which is windows 2000 proffessional an it had the same troubles.You can feel the change coming in the world order of the women’s game. If there is anyone out here that is really familiar with ExpertGPS it would be greatly appreciated.īoth of my computers are Windows XP. So in a nutshell I am somewhat dissapointed in the program but most of all the support. The first time they have not replied as of yet. I just now written a second message to tech support. This problem exists on both of my computers, one at work 1 meg DSL line and my home computer that has a 56k line. I am told that newest version corrects that but not for me. #4 When printing what I can of the aerial photos it leaves out the waypoints and the routes. When doing an aerial photo if I am lucky to be able to download the maps they never come complete and will leave white squares in the middle of the photos. However I can use other programs that use the internet with no problems so I know I have an internet connection. #2 I keep getting a notice that I have no internet connection and can't download the maps. The states Hawaii and Alaska that I downloaded from Expert GPS will not allow me to do any aerial photos from any of the waypoints. I did upgrade to the newest version and since I purchased the program it just seem like I am having a lot of problems. ![]() I just purchased a copy of ExpertGPS after trying the 30 day trial.
