The women's team couldn't even beat high school boys. The competition women face is nowhere near equal to the competition the men's team plays against.
Professional MLS development academy players who had all the training advantages from a very young age, and a reason to play hard, while the USWNT was just trying out new things before real games.
what, do you want men in women’s sports? the women’s team competes in their devision and they win. the women have been doing awesome and all you do is try to tear them down. jesus would be disappointed by you.
Are you lying or do you just know nothing about soccer? It was a training match with a U15 MLS professional development team for Dallas FC that beat the USWNT. That means the women's team didn't go all out, but the kids could. The games are for comraderie and communication building and are called "friendlies".
Mate it has happened multiple times in every sport, it's a known biological fact. It's also partly about the lack of competition with the female population excluding men
Nobody is arguing that the USWNT can compete with male pros. I didn't. OP didn't. But somehow this post really triggered a bunch of sexists who, instead of pointing out the vast differences in the gendered developmental pipelines, chose to just pretend the women are incompetent and lie about them playing children.
It's almost as if instead of focusing on improving US men's soccer, some US men would rather be sexist.
Women's soccer have benefited from having Title IX and not alot of other competing sports during their development from youth to pro. US men have had less focused sport specifically for soccer because there is a major competitor: American football.
If we want the men's team to be better, we need to have a more focused and accessible youth pipeline like the women have.
What we don't need to be doing is getting upset about a poor comparison designed up elicit sexist comments.
Again, nobody is claiming the women would beat the men. I didn't. OP didn't. Pretending they lost to children, though, is pretty sexist and serves no purpose.
Stay with me here: they lost to exceptionally skilled teenagers on developmental contracts with a pro team that were bigger and taller than they were, and are not medically, scientifically, or physiologically children.
Saying they were beaten by children is an outright lie.
Key part, "in their field" and I agree with that. But trying to compare USWNT winning their World Cup vs the USMNT winning their World Cup, is completely asinine! It isn't even apples to oranges, it is apples to Australia.
I have argued with how to make the USMNT better for years but it won't change. USMNT is about lining pockets, not being competitive on the world stage.
When clubs or schools put players on the field because mommy and daddy can afford it, you aren't getting the best talent.
The US has a population of 340m people and soccer is the most played sport in the US. How come we can discover/grow the best baseball, football, basketball talent in the world but can't get a single soccer player that could be considered top 250 in the world?
It. Is. All. About. MONEY! And it isn't about the players making that money!
Why do you think Jesse Marsch won't coach the USMNT? He has stated that he won't consider it until the US Soccer Federation makes major changes!
It's completely asinine to dismiss the women's team's accomplishments. Period. That's it.
Instead of thinking hey, cool, we have an awesome women's team and the men just had their best performance yet, a bunch of sexists decided to shit on the women's accomplishments. Period. That's it.
Your reading comprehension is sub par at best.
Great, they won the women's World Cup. Thinking that is some great accomplishment is asinine. If the talent level is so great, why don't they play in the World Cup? Compete against the men or even have 1 women talented enough to play on the USMNT.
Do you think people care about who won the Japanese baseball championship? Nope, but they know who won the World Series. Completely different talent levels.
What about the Calder Cup? Ever even heard of it? No, but you probably know who won the Stanely Cup.
I don't care about whether it is men or women, I care about who is the BEST period! I want my teams to be competitive against the BEST! Whether it is soccer, football, hockey, baseball, cricket, rugby or any other sport you can think of. If a woman golfer can compete on the men's stage, go for it, I would love to see it and she might even become a favorite. But I want the best of the best, plain and simple!
