@ChristineRoger @CBCOlympics Apparently the female coach that was sent home is the sister of the NZ head physio. I can confirm that the sirnames are the same.

[Gee Bwoy @1gboy]

@ArashMadani @Sportsnet @footy_prime Apparently Marner, the Canadian coach that got sent home is the U15 national team coach as well as the sister of NZ women's head physiotherapist? WTH is happening here.

@KeithWoodsYT This post is dumb. The black guys were there in 2000, they just weren't selected. Your conclusion is silly and provocative for no good reason

[Gee Bwoy @1gboy]

@Strapzilla55 @dijoni He's rapping about water, not drugs or guns you goof. He did that shit first. It's over now.

[Gee Bwoy @1gboy]

@ScotiabankHelps No we're not gonna do this over social media. I did that the last time with the fake help and misinformation. This one is for face to face with names and telephone numbers.

[Gee Bwoy @1gboy]

@scotiabank locked my wife out of her account yesterday. She was in the US. She had NO MONEY as she had no access to HER MONEY. Ps @scotiabank customer service is an oxymoron. They were rude and disrespectful in their approach to her concerns.

The #USWNT's current struggles are something that has been evident over the past 5-10 years and, to a lesser but still noticeable extent, since the 90s.

The women were never truly "great."

They never played technical or tactical football - two keys to playing the game to its highest potential. Instead, they mostly played the *mindless athletic type of game one can see on 99.9% of American youth, amateur, and pro soccer fields every day.

The women were just like the men, and in many ways worse.

But unlike the hyper-competitive and globally developed men's game, the rest of the world was not even slightly progressive and never cared for the women's game. In fact, the state of the women's game around the world is more aptly described as "which women's game?" It didn't really exist.

So, of course, our women dominated.

This is not meant to take away from the achievements of the individuals of the past.

"You can only play who is in front of you, blah, blah, blah ...",

but if we want to understand what's going on, we can't turn a blind eye to reality. Even if that reality hurts some feelings and challenges long-standing [incorrect] beliefs.

In the past 10 years or so, the world has become more progressive with respect to women and has allocated resources towards their infrastructure and development.

The result?

With just a modest amount of resources allocated to women's soccer elsewhere in the world, the gap with the #USWNT, which appeared insurmountable, rapidly shrank to the point we're at now.

The fact that just a fraction of the resources that the US allocates could cause the gap to shrink this much in less than a generation illustrates how much deep institutional knowledge and culture ("it's in the blood") matter.

To think that the current #USWNT coach is the culprit is superficial.

To think that "youth development" is the culprit is also superficial.

This is the result of an institutional, system-wide architecture.

One, which by the way, works just fine in the absence of true global competition (e.g. American Football, Baseball, Basketball, and for the time being, Women's soccer).

A simple perusal of my Twitter history shows I've been sounding this alarm for a while: https://t.co/s1Bz7ndr0V

Without a change in the root US architecture (a non-merit-based one), and with continued investment by overseas countries, the end result is that the women's advantage will continue to erode and approach the same global standing as the US men.

No doubt the #USWNT will still be a contender in the next World Cup. Beyond that, maybe not so much. But the expectations that they steamroll and strike fear into others are artifacts of the past.
