World Cup winners! Again.
How is this for a history of consistency and dominance? In the seven Women's World Cups, the US has finished as World Cup winners, third place, World Cup winners, third place, third place, second place, World Cup winners.
I do not see much change. The US still has over 2 million girls and women playing soccer, excellent facilities, and a federation flush with cash and willing to use it on the women's teams, as they are the chief glory of American soccer. The men are rapidly improving. They will win the World Cup. I just hope I do not drink myself to death before I see it. I doubt that I will. I have supported FC Dallas since 1996, and they have never won the league. As the MLS sends all the big stars to New York or Los Angeles, I am not likely to see it.
I would like to see the USMNT lift the World Cup. I would like to see Dallas win the MLS. I expect both will happen. I expect to be dead before either one will.
