Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 4027918, member: 649"] So playing virtually every top team in the world - some multiple times - between the World Cup and Olympics constitutes playing the JV??? Hard to have an intelligent discussion after hearing that. Who else should they have played? And since they went undefeated against all of those teams, how much better should they have played? I am way more than a casual follower of women's soccer, and I can think of a grand total of one younger player who might have helped this team. All of the other under-25's will help in a few years, but none were ready to help now - as they demonstrated in National Team camps and Friendlies. There is absolutely no evidence and very few honest opinions that replacing the older players would have done anything other than to make this team worse. [/QUOTE]
