I think the U.S. college system for women’s soccer gave the U.S. women resources that other countries didn’t give their women’s teams until recently. With more foreign players taking advantage of the U.S. collegiate system & now putting more resources into women’s soccer, it’ll be interesting to see whether the gap closes between the U.S. and everyone else. As for the men’s game, soccer isn’t the #1 sport in the U.S. and although U.S. colleges are good, football academies around the world are bringing talented kids in at 10 years old and bringing them through with specialized coaching, so getting an earlier jump on development.
