    We had a major advantage with Title 9, which BTW screwed the men's program over pretty significantly while propping and building the women's program up.

    Really wish they would just exclude football all together in Title 9 - as that is 85 scholarships that women don't get....or start playing women's football.....because men's soccer gets killed at most D1 schools especially here in Texas.....and several kids that are good enough to one day go pro just stop playing all together due to loss of opportunity.

    But, because of that, the USA basically INVENTED women's soccer and had a major advantage for years, that is now gone...the rest of the world got on board and with better coaching and opportunity they raced right by the stagnant USA.

    I know people really want Pro/Rel in the USA, but it is never going to happen we have different systems....to me, the most important thing to bringing soccer forward is getting quality coaching at the HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL - and embracing school soccer over club.....as pay to play excludes too many and most club coaches suck anyway.

    You do get the occasional great one but not often. Whereas women in the UK for instance are on Premier league women's development teams...and have much better facilities and coaching.

    Difficult to support a team with someone as unlikeable as that loud mouthed imbecile. On top of that, a person that is pro transgendering kids is easily a no for me dawg. Very easy to dislike. Sucks because I want to root for all USA teams, but it's the players that ruin it with their sanctimonious, misguided virtue signaling, not the fans.

    Was this an alcohol related incident or just a dick doing the thinking incident... cause right now the recorded stats have it tied all-time at.

    Alcohol related crimes: 1,456, 789, 1200, 234, 670, 907
    Dick related crimes: 1,456, 789, 1200, 234, 670, 907

    And this breaks the tie.

    This probably leads to major change in an antiquated society like Spains
