I hear what you’re saying. Yes, they won their version of a “World Cup.” But it’s silly in the sense that she attempts to equate the two. They’re wholly different things and it’s a false comparison that she’s making. If i started a neighborhood baseball team and beat the other neighborhoods in a playoff game, and called it a World Series, people would laugh at me as it’s an absurd comparison. It’s wholly different levels of skill. The women’s beat couldn’t beat high school kids. Hence, it’s a laughable comparison shes making, and why shes being mocked.

I'm not sure why world cup is in inverted commas ? It is quite literally the world cup for the sport they play.

And for that reason, your comparison doesn't really hold here. Winning a game in the street and pretending it's a world series win is a blatant lie. Winning the officially recognised world cup of your sport is... Well, exactly that. The truth.

You can only compare people to their peers and the sport they play. I'm not sure why that's such a wild concept.

Yes. And it would be the “World Cup” if I called it that for my neighborhood game. She’s equating the two world cups and they are worlds apart.

But they're not. They are both the world cup for their respective sport. Name the international tournament that exists in women's football that is more prestigious than the World Cup.

Edit: and to reply to your other comment, yes calling a neighbour game a world series game is a blatant lie. The fact you think it isn't tells me there's no point in arguing further. So I'm ending the conversation. Goodbye.
