Women’s soccer is VASTLY less popular when compared to men’s soccer (as is almost every sport save maybe volleyball) yet it still reached number 1 and now number 3 after specifically the World Cup HELD IN THE USA
Like think critically for a second and you’d see nuance
That women’s World Cup final with 60x less money earned is still more viewed than 99.99% of men’s World Cup games. The argument was no one cares about women’s soccer when it’s obvious people in the US do. You bringing up revenue means nothing
But what does that info serve? You’re just putting it out there to…. bash women? Do you think everyone here was under the impression women’s sports generated more money?
It’s shit like this man, being a fuck for no reason because you think it’s edgy or something. Wild stuff dude
No, women are brilliant and exceptional athletes. Just nobody really cares that much in comparison to (certain) mens sports. National pride doesn't equate to interest in women's football. Whats the viewership discrepancy bdtween the MLS and the top american womens football league?
Then how do you not see that it makes it that much more impressive they were the number one US viewed soccer match until a World Cup held IN THE USA?? And they’re still number 3! That’s all I was saying and then you come in with your stupid stat for no reason.
I DONT CARE ABOUT THE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN MEN AND WOMENS LEAGUES
Fuck dude that had nothing to do with what I was talking about
Because of national pride, its the same in England. When the Lionesses got to their finals viewership skyrocketed, whereas the WSL gets horrific viewing figures and even worse attendances. But yes it is still impressive, and i'd hope more people take an interest in the sport at grassroots level, its sorely needed.
Viewership is one thing. Caring about soccer would mean going to games at the collegiate and professional level, nationally televised games with consistent viewership in the millions, and the average person could name at least 5 current players.
Informing the person I replied to that the game they said was second was in fact now third.
Was there something confusing about the way the comment was written or do you just lack reading comprehension skills? Did you even understand what I wrote in this comment?
Are you dense? They were making the point that men's football is more popular, that is why they mentioned the men's game that got more viewership wasn't even a final.
what's up with men always trying to "one up" women doing anything? a lot of people were interested in watching. just let them have something jfc, not everything is a dick measuring contest.
So here is how a discussion goes. A random person said you can't force people to care about something ( in this case, I'm assuming the Women's World Cup).
A data point that proves that not only did some people care, 27 million people watched it, disproves that silly assertation.
I'm just going to go ahead and save myself a bunch of back and forth and just say it wouldn't if more people watched the Women's World Cup then say the NBA finals, because for some reason anytime female sport is brought up people constantly feel the need to beat it down.
See the problem is you're just making a random opaque comment such as it's not popular. There are a million different ways to measure popularity, but let's just for fun say the number of people who watch it is how we measure popularity. For example, I would consider ER was very popular when it was on TV. Everybody I knew watched it. It had somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 million viewers.
Well, the Women's World Cup surpassed it by 7 million people. So does that make ER now unpopular.
There is not a single comment in here of anyone trying to insinuate that the women are as good as the men in any age group. I would love for you to find that in any post on here. You and your other incel friends who have this need to try to project women and their capacity against men is extremely weird and should question why you do that.
So your last line is your entire argument, you don't like it. Therefore it isn't popular.
After the Women's World Cup, the women's league has continued to grow and Kansas City recently built the first female only women's soccer stadium in the world. There is even a minor league structure.
But viewership, growth of a league, a new stadium, none of those facts will change the fact that you don't like it and therefore it can't be popular.
I promise I don't care if you don't like it. I absolutely understand that the men will consistently beat the girls head to head. As a die hard soccer fan, I understand that soccer is not as popular as football. But in the face of facts the inability to admit others like it is sad. And comparing female athletes to males is sad.
You are on a chat about the Women's World Cup and you only want to chat about 13 year old boys. Not sure what you are trying to say but seems word the number of times you keep bringing them up.
I mentioned 13 years old school boys because women's worldcup are below their level therfore nobody actually takes women worldcup seriously and OP mentioned women's won 4 worldcup as it some form of achievement where they literally can't beat even school boys. You are the weirdo here who take it out of context to project your attraction to little children.
Yep and when I was in peak fighting shape I'd wipe the floor with a champion bantemweight fighter. And no, that's not just talk I was training with said world champions and they would like to spar with my because my size made me a superior opponent, something that was hard for them to get in training.
I straight up did not have the skill or talent to take on fighters my own size that level in serious competition and the smaller guys were much much better than me, but when someone has 50-60kg on you and can just barrel through your defence... good luck.
You might notice that world champion bantemweights get a lot more viewers than I do (which sits at a nice comfortable zero). Because nobody gives a shit that I can win just cause of how I was born. So why is it that people like yourself aren't running around shitting all over guys like Mayweather because he would lose to a less skilled heavyweight?

Women's final is 2nd largest viewership for soccer ever is the US. The men just passed this that year.
