It is not a negative comment it is one you disagree with, because you disagree with me Does not mean your position is NEGATIVE just different than mine. In a legal or political argument if you can define your opponents position as negative, you are half way to winning the battle. So first my position is not NEGATIVE it is just different than yours. Second I see the US continued placement in Concacaf nothing more than the island teams being donkeys with a carrot being dangled in front of them, they will plow the fields in hopes of reachingthat carrot that can never be reached. Concacaf has been an automatic bid to any tournament for the the US women's soccer program, they have NEVER NEVER NEVER face the threat or possibility of elimination, in fact they measure there success not by wins and losses but rather by goal differential. I did not need anyone to give me the 32-0 goal differential it is there on the FIFA site cant miss it. As for the reason for removing the USA IS THAT I BELIEVE THAT ONE OF THE KEYS TO BUILDING A SUCESSFUL PROGRAM IS NOT COMPEATING IN A QUALIFYING ROUND BUT ACTULLY GETTING TO THE WORLD CUP. TT STILL TALKS PROUDLY ABOUT OUR 2006 LIMITED SUCESS AND IT HELPED TT MENS SOCCER GREATLY IT PUT US ON WORLD STAGE. A women's island team that make it to the WC would likewise benefit in ways that will only help the program after all success breeds success, failure breeds failure. I believe that if the island girls know that they have a REAL chance of getting to the WC even if they lost the first round for a few years, they will at least be motivated in this success and it will breed even a greater effort by each country to go further the next time. The limited success that an island team may achieve at qualifiers never seems to carry any coat tails of success, but TTs one time appearance in men's soccer is still a source of great pride. That having been said the disparity between Island men's soccer and the US is not as great as the disparity between island women's soccer and the US, and the truth of the matter is our women are suffering because of our Macho ignorant ways. Jamaica men's soccer is not successful on any WORLD STAGE yet their women's program was cut not it's men's, yet what have they really done. So before you say this is an island problem and not a US problem, let me ask you would soccer at the WC women's level benefit from every participant having a REAL chance to at least to make into the WC ,I say Yes. I dream of the day when a little girl in Antiqua or TT runs across her back yard pretending to wear the colors of her country pretending to score the winning goal in a WC game this is not even a reality in her world under the present system. I believe that the presence of the US in CONCOCAF stiffens the dreams of too many women island soccer players, and that women's soccer as a whole would benefit from seeing a bunch of dark skinned ,short hair or long LOL beautiful black island women kicking a ball on the internation stage it would bring these women to the international community and bring these international community to these women. The idea that any island team will ever succeed against the US under the present system is not Realistic. I believe that success has a better chance if the girls know that a chance to compete on a world stage depends on their efforts against similar situated participants that change will foster a grass roots level of participation and support. I guess the best I can describe it is that if a fish is put in a small tank he Will stay small in a big tank he will grow large. US prevents the islands from ever seeing that large tank.
It is okay to disagree with me ,I will not allow you to classify my position as negative without a challenge.
