“I’m literally watching the u-17 girls @theECNL college showcase here in Orlando Florida and I can’t believe the level of play of girls in our country at 17 years old technically andtactically it’s embarrassing and disappointing to the sport. I’m literally looking at these games and I don’t know how these college coaches can watch and what are they looking forwhen the ball is in the air 95 percent of the time. Soccer is a creative game and requires intelligent players. There’s nothing intelligent in watching a player smack the the ball as hard asthey can up the field when they have time and space. This is shocking. I really feel bad watching all these clubs steal these parents hard earned money and aren’t developing their kidsproperly.”
