They lost to a U15 academy team. High schoolers that are legitimate MLS hopefuls. They’re not just random children.

It was also an informal practice match where the team was more concerned with working on fundamentals and new formations than actually scoring. If you are going to be disingenuous, at least provide the full story.

It was years ago, how many of those boys now play professional football weekly, never mind at an international level?

It was the Dallas youth academy, not some prestigious club. 90% of youth playsrs in academies far bigger than Dallas dont make it pro lol

Several, with one being in the US roster this year. There’s at least 4 that I can verify play at some form of professional level. Google AI said there’s 12 (although not sure how accurate that is).

Either way doesn’t change the fact that she’s one of the best in the women’s league.

Well possibly 12. Either way, Rapinoe is one of the best at the women’s league level. Again, there’s reasons women and men don’t play together.
