![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Take a player like Jamaica’s Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw. Here in Europe, where you’re playing in different competitions, Champions League or cups, players aren’t going to be fazed by other things because they come up against different football week in, week out. There’s still a huge amount of talent in this US team but with so many of the squad playing solely in the NWSL, it doesn’t offer enough diversity to their squad in terms of playing against different styles. They will be staying home on contracts at their clubs. Going forward, I’d be shocked if the top young players in England and Europe go to America anymore to play in the collegiate game. But I do not believe that going to play in the US college system is a better one for the players. Going to the US for academic reasons, for lifestyle reasons, are wonderful ones. ‘I’d be shocked if the top young players in England go to America anymore to play in the collegiate game’ Take the likes of Lauren James: playing with boys all the way up to a certain point, then entering pro environments from an earlier age, has benefited her greatly, much more so than a very short collegiate system. People often say we would scream out for a collegiate system here in England. In contrast, Spain and Japan have enjoyed success at both these tournaments. It is a similar story in the Under-17 World Cup, which the US have never won. The US haven’t won the Women’s Under-20 World Cup for 11 years – North Korea have actually won it more recently – and they haven’t made it out of the group stages since 2016. For the US, there needs to be a bigger conversation about their collegiate system and youth development as well as the NWSL.įor some time at youth international level, the US have had a dire record. ![]() It is not that the team are necessarily failing, and it is not just about this team or this coach. My feeling is that the US as a nation will have to adapt its expectations around international success in women’s football. I know first hand at Chelsea how challenging that is, to keep winning again and again. They have won for so long that everybody just expects them to win. They seem to me like a team that is very stressed, but it is also important to point out that the pressure on the US is greater than any other nation. Portugal were the width of a post away from knocking the holders out and it is evident that the US are not the force they once were. On the pitch, however, there are problems and these have not just happened overnight. But the US women’s national team have always stood for promoting equality and I think their messaging over the years has been crucial for women all over the world. Whether that means there is a division in the squad, I don’t know I just think that sums up US politics over the past five or more years – maybe there is a division in that regard. As we have seen in this World Cup, it is moving away from the traditional big guns – and the four-time champions, the United States, have flattered to deceive.Ī lot has been said about some players not singing the US anthem while others are singing it. Again, double-check the coordinate format and datum settings in ExpertGPS and your CAD software.You can feel the change coming in the world order of the women’s game. If the scale appears to be off by about a factor of 3, the problem may be that one system is using meters, and the other system is using US Survey Feet. Switch to UTM, state plane, or another format that uses meters. For example, if you are working with meters in AutoCAD, but are using latitude and longitude in ExpertGPS, the X, Y values in the DXF will be degrees of longitude and latitude instead of meters. If you DXF data from ExpertGPS doesn't line up properly with the other data in your CAD software, double-check that the coordinate format and datum in ExpertGPS match the coordinate system you are using in AutoCAD. Exported DXF appears in the wrong location, or is the wrong scale in your CAD software Then, click Export DXF on the Convert menu to create the DXF file. If needed, click Change Coordinate Format on the Options menu. To export your DXF, first confirm that the coordinate format and datum you are using in ExpertGPS match the X,Y coordinate system you are using in your CAD software. Exporting DXF and AutoCAD Files from ExpertGPS ProĮxpertGPS Pro can export DXF to AutoCAD and other CAD packages, and you can use ExpertGPS to convert your DXF to KML and other formats, and to send CAD points and polylines to your GPS as waypoints and tracklogs. ![]()
