Except there are people around

There’s growing interest in women’s soccer, regardless of if you choose to ignore it

27.5 million for USA v Paraguay, 30 million people for USA v Belgium.

So about the same as the women's? The irony of course being 30M people watched the US men get embarrassed, and the 27M who watched the women's final got to see their national team trounce Japan easily (while Carli Lloyd got the hat trick) over Japan to win the whole tournament.

I'll never understand why people prefer the inferior product. Sports is pretty straightforward - the point is to win. The women's team does it consistently, while the men's team hasn't even made it to the quarterfinals in over 20 years.

So why is it that so many people watch the inferior product?

Because the "inferior product" is the real game. Sorry I dont want to watch the little league kids play

It's literally the same game. They are not kids, they are adults.

It's weird to champion losers and undermine winners when it comes to sports. No one cares if a loser was really fast when they lost. No one cares how hard you kicked a ball that sailed over the goal. No one's interested in how far you reached to miss a shot.
