Filthy European here, I watch lots of WSL and women's CL. The defending in NWSL seems to be a complete clown show. Is that a fair observation? I only catch highlights like the one above but there seems to be a pretty big divide between the continents defence quality. Is this a problem for the national team? I know Sauerbrunn is really good.

Three takeways from this:
1. NWSL has some amazing forwards.
2. There's some real clown shoes defending. Courage back line just looking at Crystal Dunn and doing literally nothing, holy lmao
3. The person making these highlights is really poo poo at editing. Some parts just start with a replay without showing the full play and they are still showing late game subs as if they're highlights. loving CBS should watch MOTD once or twice, it's really not that difficult.

Why does the NWSL play during the world cup?

Been saying this: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/aug/23/nwsl-soccer-wsl-overtaken-womens-soccer

quote:

Europe�s leagues are overtaking the NWSL. That�s a win for women�s soccer

The country that plays host to the most World Cup players is now England. That�s not down to anything the NWSL is doing wrong, but what English clubs are doing right

[...]

The first US pro league, the WUSA, drew most of the best players in the world. Sun Wen and Gao Hong from China. Sissi and Katia from Brazil. Dagny Mellgren and Hege Riise from Norway. Best of all, Germany�s Birgit Prinz and Maren Meinert, who was named the last MVP of the league a few months before scoring the tying goal in Germany�s 2003 World Cup win.

After the WUSA�s collapse, the USA endured five summers with no full-fledged pro league until WPS launched in 2009 with lower budgets and stronger competition for global talent. But it still drew many players of note in the 2011 World Cup from England, Sweden, Brazil and eventual champions Japan � including the magnificent Homare Sawa, the Golden Ball winner.

WPS went away the year after that Cup, and the NWSL popped up in 2013. In 2015, that league still accounted for many players from Concacaf neighbors Canada and Mexico, and the trade routes with England and Germany were not yet shut down. The best Spanish player at the time, Vero Boquete, bounced between the NWSL and Europe.

But when Spain beat England in the Women�s World Cup final on Sunday, no NWSL players were on either team�s roster. Only three NWSL players � Sweden�s Sofia Jakobsson and Australia�s Emily van Egmond and Alex Chidiac � were in the semi-finals. Only five NWSL players � the three who advanced to the semis, plus Japan�s Jun Endo and Hina Sugita � were in the quarter-finals.

Australia�s team shows the change most vividly. In 2019, more than half the team played in the NWSL, and another was in college at UCLA.

It�s not as though the NWSL has suddenly and completely dried up. The league would have had much more of a presence in the semi-finals if Brazil and Canada � and, of course, the USA � had advanced. In the Western Hemisphere, at least, the NWSL is easily the top league.

[...]

But the country that plays host to the most World Cup players is now England. An analysis of the official World Cup rosters, a useful snapshot that doesn�t take into account the predictable flurry of signings after the Cup, finds 108 players based in the sport�s country of origin, where women�s soccer was banned for much of the 21st century. The USA has 88, but when you subtract the players in US colleges, non-NWSL clubs and youth clubs, the number in the NWSL drops to 60. (The league site lists 61 players, including three that are on the way elsewhere and two that are on the way in.) Taking that calculation into account, Spain ranks ahead of the USA with 69 players at the Cup.

By comparison: In 2015, with just 24 teams in the competition, 29 players based in England were at the Cup, as were 21 in Spain. Most of those players were based in their home countries.

The Spanish football federation has threatened to sue the 79 women’s football players who signed a letter in which they refused to play for their country as long as the federation president, Luis Rubiales, remains in his post.

In a statement, the federation said that it would take the “necessary legal action” and told the players that “playing for the national team is an obligation on any member of the federation called upon to do so”.

Today's the first day of Women's Nations League. There are three leagues in Europe, so no more 20-0 routs like England-Latvia last year.

So far, Sweden is 2-2 with Spain and England are playing Scotland in half an hour.

Poland is 2-1 against Greece, so everything's right in the world. :poland:
