Are narrow-minded tactics doing a disservice to the USWNT?
posted on July 25, 2010 at 3:53pm
To elaborate on a point below, today’s loss to Nigeria gave the U.S. its earliest exit ever in a U-19/U-20 Women’s World Cup. Perhaps that’s an indictment on the relative lack of talent in the U-20 talent pool. Or maybe the U.S.’ mediocrity is a...more

If it wasn’t for Alexandra Popp and all those goals she’s scored for Germany, South Korea would be the most feared team in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. Two matches, eight goals, two goals conceded, one Ji So Yun. And if fortune had favored t...more
