A few more cycles and it's not out of the question they will struggle to qualify for the WC, just like the MNT.
5-0 over Costa Rica
1-0 over Mexico
10-0 over Puerto Rico
5-0 over Trinidad & Tobago
2-0 over Canada
In the 2014 CONCACAF WC qualifying US WNT went 5-0 outscoring their opponents 21-0.
With the exception of Mexico & Canada, I don't see anyone else from CONCACAF improving so much (or the US backsliding) that they won't advance to the WC anytime soon.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostTotally disagree with this statement about the WNT, that in "a few more cycles and it's not out of the question they will struggle to qualify for the WC". Here are the last five CONCACAF opponents they have played (Olympic qualifying in 2016):
5-0 over Costa Rica
1-0 over Mexico
10-0 over Puerto Rico
5-0 over Trinidad & Tobago
2-0 over Canada
In the 2014 CONCACAF WC qualifying US WNT went 5-0 outscoring their opponents 21-0.

If WNT can score a few of these diamonds in the rough then it looks like happy days are here again!

Our foot/eye genetic background is sorely lacking all other continents and nationalities.
We need more immigrant and american mixing.
That would make your above posit even more ignorant.

That is true. Field hockey is the way to go. I'm sorry I missed that boat.
