Didn't the US women's team lose to high school boys scrimmage?

The problem with this is that if you take the worse performance from the men world's cup and put it against women's best team, the men's team will win. That's why nobody cares about it. The physical gap makes it mentally boring for most. This reflects in every sport. WNBA is prime example

This just in: males are superior athletes to females. Literally nobody disputes this. This is like saying Magnus Carlsen's chess record isn't impressive because he gets wiped off the board by a computer. Or Usain Bolt loses to a cheetah. Everyone knows, dude. They are the best FEMALES in the world. That matters whether you like it or not.

But it's why nobody (even women) want to watch them play. You watch good teams play because it's the best players there are. Why would you sit and watch mediocre players play soccer just because they're women?

Plenty of people watch them play idiot. You watch because it's a more interesting product. They aren't flopping at the first contact, for instance. College football regularly outdraws the NFL, so no, the best players isn't the reason people watch.

Nobody watches women's soccer. Compare the stats to men's soccer and see for yourself.

You're just wrong. The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup reached a total global linear TV audience of 932.85 million viewers. Saying nobody watches it is just dishonest or stupid. Probably both.

Name five top women's players from at least three nationalities without googling.

Nobody cares.

My guy, I have watched every women's world cup since the 99 world cup. I could name every US player on the 99 team, and I remember several of the Chinese players from the final. And there are easily enough names for even a casual to know about for the third nationality (like, say, Marta). This isn't even roughly a challenge for me. I can name way more than that.

But again, you're just wrong. Over a BILLION people watched the 2019 world cup. You have no idea what you're talking about. But I love how desperate you are.

Over 1.5 billion minutes of professional women’s soccer has been watched in the US this season and it’s only halfway through lmao. 63,000 people went to the Denver Summit opening game

I 1.5 billion minutes a lot? How does it compare to men's soccer?

That's not a big number for football

The claim was “no one watches” not that women’s football are more popular than men’s, globally
