Yea I saw an article about the US losing. Looking at the various articles, some people are linking what they did at the beginning to the result but I don't think so. I just think they played poorly.
Of course, people disagreeing with their message will blame it for the results. But that's completely unrelated. The fact of the matter is they didn't play well, while Sweden did. It's only the group stage, I think this team has enough talent to turn it around and go far in the competition, and quiet their critics (usually not based on actual sports consideration). But we'll see, there are a few other strong teams like Brazil, France, etc...
Quite a shocker it was at the results when I earlier saw it. Guess the recent European Championship and Copa America tournament played a part as some teams didn't field most of their key players
Yes, it's pretty close to these two big competitions. But also, it's only under 23 years old players, except three of them. Even national teams with lots of young players usually have several players above 23. That's why the French team for instance is so different from what we saw at the Euro Cup.
Oh now I see. The next generation of french Players then will need to be improved is this is what they currently have. I expected them to more better than this
I think they also need to play together more. In football, I don't think the Olympics are really a priority, so these young players don't get to practice together very often. And with most European leagues starting very soon, I'm guessing everybody is trying to not get injured.
Yeah true about the injury part, not getting to practice often and the Olympics not really considered in the football aspect by some countries. But it's great national team field good players and give a good showing at this stage as the world is watching this sports.
And since it's limited to U23 players, some of them might get a chance to show what they can do, a chance they may not get with the usual national first teams.
