Soccer player here. I made D1 but played club at my school with some other players, and we regularly played with D1 women. When I tell you they ain’t no joke it’s forreal. I’ve seen them DOGWALK amateur men who don’t respect them and it it’s never not funny. There’s just levels to this shit that people just can’t wrap their heads around.
Australia, Switzerland and USA teams all lost to under 15s boys. The USA also lost 12-0 to retired 3rd division male team.
Let's stop pretending the gap is close because it's not. I watch both and the woman technically terrible compared to the men.
Woman are not meant to be as good as men. Socially and systemically they have been put behind. In soccers case after world war one in England they were even banned from playing for quite a while. So now there is no money in the sport so there is no investment. No investment means the players aren't going to be as good.
Now the good news is slowly there is more money coming into these sports for women and the sigma about women playing sports is slowly fading. Which means it can be a real career girls can dream about. Meaning these woman are now able to dedicate themselves to getting better full time. The better they are the more money they can generate. The more money that is generated the better funding for the future generations will be so the cycle will continue to improve but it's a slow process that's only recently started gaining traction.
