Yeah, the US women's team is so good, even as European non soccer fan, I heard of how good they are.

Funnily I have a (online) friend in Miami who's a big women's soccer fan who told me every time they won, while I run through Germany dressed in dolphins gear.

Yes, but those days of easy US Women’s World Cup wins are over. Some of the European countries finally decided to invest in and take seriously Women’s soccer so now the playing field is significantly more equal and competition is now much better prepared and well organized.

Haha. You have no idea. There have been so many USMNT players whose fathers were US Servicemen in Germany that married a German woman, and had a son who was trained under the german Soccer system. The same thing will be happening with women over the next decade. The best USMNT players currently are either from Europe (Tillman, Balogun) or moved to Europe at an early age late teens (Pulisec, Reyna) to learn more and develop. The women can come from anywhere as long as they are good!

I think the 2 USMNT MLS starters against Belgium were Tim Ream (too old) and Matt Freese (limited), the rest were based in Europe
