If wins are your only criteria for success, then you are correct. They win many matches, and it makes me happy when they do. Although the US WNT did not win the 2011 WC, and they were exposed by a smaller, more technical Japanese side. And the gap is closing. Brazil teaches technical futbol, and they always give us a game.
Isn't winning what it's about at that level? The USWNT is comprised of professional women athletes. Who cares if the gap is closing? Aren't the results currently being produced? The women are champions without any assistance from the DA. Men are not champions as a result of the DA.
Uh, exact same clubs? Half is not the exact same. Half is half. They picked the best, most accomplished sides from the ECNL, along with the most accomplished non-ECNL clubs that have the talent and ability to teach technical soccer...and LA Premier, a geo-political selection.
