on a team in California with former second and third division euros. Not the most gifted bunch, but yes, we would have beaten any women's team. But here is the point: you can tell a group of has-been and never-was men "this is a training exercise to help the USWNT. We want you to simulate a top women's team with physical play and responsible pressure on the ball." The men will get the message and dial it back. You cannot dial down u-14 boys, and from what I know of coaches at the youth level, they would let the hounds loose.
