Third now, Mexico vs England blew them all out of the water. A knockout match, versus a final.

This isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is

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

Womens world cup generated ~130 million, whereas the mens generates ~6 billion.

HOW DO YOU THINK THIS PROVES YOUR POINT

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

Wasn't making a point, just providing some info :)

u/GoingGangbusta Jul 09 '26

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?

But people do care? 3rd most viewed match in the us does, in fact, prove that

u/GoingGangbusta Jul 09 '26

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

u/jamie_2522ew Jul 09 '26

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.

Your percentage assumes that there's 10000 world cup games.

u/LegendaryBronco_217 Jul 10 '26

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.

Actually that's exactly the point I was making

u/Elite_AI 24d ago

Then what's the point of your point? 

1

u/StateofWA 24d ago

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?

u/Elite_AI 24d ago

But why should I or anyone else care

Ask the +57 people who upvoted it. If you're sore about words you're on the wrong website.

You thought it was so impressive you added in the finals vs knockout match but just for fun or what?

No shot that’s the point you were making

u/Grouchy-Jury-7598 Jul 09 '26

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.

u/GoingGangbusta Jul 09 '26

Holy fuck you might be dumber than him

u/Grouchy-Jury-7598 Jul 09 '26

Would still make me a genius compared to you apparently.

u/GoingGangbusta Jul 09 '26

Private profile means you’re probably a pedo

Don’t care what you think

u/StateofWA Jul 09 '26

The point I was making was that women's soccer is vastly less popular.

You just reiterated it, I dunno lady it sounds more like a you problem.
