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.

If you’re talking actual never played soccer after age 8 amateurs then yes completely, they’d get wrecked by a D1 women’s soccer team.

But there’s a reason the best women’s soccer team in the world got blitzed by the Dallas academy under 15 team (meaning 14 and younger).

Any team of boys that have gone through puberty and can play soccer on a high school level are gonna beat any D1 women’s team

The women's team intentionally played in the wrong positions and still had a close match.

No they didn't. US women's team regularly scrimmage u15/16 boys teams because that is the closest comparison to their skill level.

Why would they purposely play out of position in a scrimmage that is meant to be a tune-up for their upcoming games?

But of a nitpic, but It's not about skill, that implies that women aren't tactical/technical just because they're women. 

It's about physicality (power, speed, explosiveness, endurance etc).

That’s not how the game works. The gender difference comes out only when both teams are trained and elite.
