This US team is just tactically naive.

Netherlands isn't even that good, but they know how to play to their strengths.

At least it wasnt a total shutout but really hoped for better on the defensive side. Mistakes were made and the USA were punished every time

You'll have to win two knockout games at least for that to happen next time.
Forgot about the new format. I think the new format is terrible.

This century we have consistently made it out of the group stage (4 of the 6 WCs). Its time to take the next step and breakthrough with knockout round wins.
They should be aiming higher but this team is inexperienced and still very young. A lot of the key players from those other WC teams are long gone.

As someone that participated in youth soccer it's not taken seriously at all by 99% of participants, parents and kids. It's just something most parents make their kids do to keep them active and get them out the house.

Because if you are athletic and have the potential to do well in professional sports you are more likely to play another sport that pays way more money than soccer. The vast majority of people who play youth sports do not intend to make a career of it.

US Women seem to be good at it. It just the men for some reason. If the US Women team faced the Iran Women team I dont think the score would be 1-0. US women would blow them out.

Footballers have a way better chance of making a living at it than other athletes. There are way more professional soccer teams than there are baseball or American football teams

The group stage will have 3 teams per group with 2 teams advancing. The format seems very ripe for collusion.

48 teams if fine, but putting them in groups of 3 is a bad idea. Two of the three teams can collude and knock out the third team.

FIFA is also very corrupt and there are rumors and talks about how this could be their last world cup. I doubt that will happen, but I really wish they were gone though.

There's nothing stopping players from competing in foreign leagues though. It's common at all levels. I don't think athletes are making decisions at 13 based on money, and if they are, they're making the wrong one.

I don't think this is a valid comparison. Globally there isn't big money in women's soccer so the general US pipeline that at least gets girls playing competitively through the college level with scholarships gives us a leg up.

Is referring to more teams, thus more rounds, in the knockout stages. I thought it meant a best of 3 or an aggregate for each knockout round. Which I thought may not be a bad idea

top 2 advance from each group with 16 groups so it'll be one extra round in the knockouts
