First of, this is not criticism of Sydney who was and is a big talent.
When I first watched her in Chile I was genuinely excited about her potential and still am.
But to a certain degree the national team program or perhaps the system in North America is failing her as far as her international development goes.
It is not her fault, she responds to training she is given.
Watching her in 2008 and 2010 I expected the training she had received would place her further ahead. I am not placing the blame on anyone just expressing my opinion. No different than if I said that Jose Antonio Reyes’s progress had slowed down after he left Arsenal.
Some environments are better for player development than others.

Besides speed I also felt that she lacks stamina. She has to focus on this aspect if she wants to be a good striker, both of which are a must in modern football.

Please you’ve been following Sydney for two years. Why didn’t you post something when she was scoring all the goals but no you wait till she missed her pk. She’s broke records, scored 24 goals in college last season, won golden boot in concacaf, the list can go on. But here you are acting like you know everything. I’m sure you were a great athlete and your children are way better than anyone elses. I hope you enjoy trying to break players down. All the best to ya

Interesting take. Considering Leroux was far and away the U.S.’s most effective player this tournament, it leads one to wonder about the technical quality of this team as a whole.
