And that's why I didn't dispute the part about the NWSL being at risk, but it's still a huge leap to go from that to saying that the USWNT is in any jeopardy in FIFA play.
Sure, there may be the potential to make everyone a Luka Doncic, but we know that's not really how it works: they only made one Brigit Prinz. They only made one Marta. It's extremely rare for any country to get that kind of generational talent even once, and the US seems to get at least one every generation. And even then, there's no guarantee that that generational talent will end up playing football. Sure, the next Marta that Brazil produces will almost definitely play football, but the Marta of Canada probably won't: the Marta of Canada will probably play hockey, instead. The Marta of Russia might become a footballer, but they're more likely to be a gymnast. The Marta of Australia will either play basketball or rugby. China already had a Marta, her name was Miao Lijie, and the next Marta of China will probably do the same thing that the last one did, if she's not a diver.
And yeah, I made it about the USA's superior athleticism, but that's giving short shrift to their skill level: they're skilled than a mother****er, too, and that's not a difference that's going to be made up quickly.
They could, but they probably won't. The US is the only country that has finished in the Top 3 of every women's World Cup.
