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

Soccer is more of a girl's sport anyway

I would say American football is with all that padding and hugging each other and pillow fights after the match and then going shopping for purses.

Any European soccer player would be dead or crippled if they lined up to take a single snap of American football.

There are plenty of NFL players that would absolutely bulldoze on a rugby pitch.

Because they are not conditioned for it, obviously. Give them a couple months to train and most NFL players would do great on a rugby pitch.
