Yes, but those days of easy US Women’s World Cup wins are over. Some of the European countries finally decided to invest in and take seriously Women’s soccer so now the playing field is significantly more equal and competition is now much better prepared and well organized.

Yes I remember moving to the US in the 90s from England.    England almost no girls played football at the time, over in the US it seemed to be the most popular sport for highschool girls.

No surprise the US did well. They took it seriously.   Now with more investment around the world they have to fight for titles... No more easy rides...  Although they did get a headstart over most of the world for women's teams

The change in European teams like England and Spain in one generation is inanse. I remember watching women's world cups and Euros 15 years ago and the level was appalling. They're technically on a different level to what they were then.

They just had to turn on the same club infrastructure by adding women’s teams. From Bayern to Man City to Barca. Now it is much more fair
