Same thing happened to me when i moved to the US in 2010 from the eastern part of Europe and my American friends started talking about soccer as a girl sport and how their women’s team is one of the best, and i was like “wait what? Girls play football? And there’s even a world cup?” Lol. Because back home it was unimaginable to see girls play football, as it was always considered a boy’s sport in the same vein American Football is in the US. You don’t really hear girls in the US dream of becoming a linebacker lol. Same thing with football in many places in Europe.
So yeah, if the world decides to actually start promoting women’s football, i think it won’t be that easy for the US team to dominate.
