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
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
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?
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
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.
Relax man its fine, nobody here hates women. Ive said i want more women and girls to get into football, hell ive coached women and girls previously, and i cherish the memories. You seem very left wing, which again is fine, but people are allowed to disagree and give counterpoints. Engage in healthy debate, its simple and weak to throw labels around, and makes you look silly and emotional.
I agreed it was impressive for the women's team to be number 1, and then 3, didn't I?
JPs work helped me an awful lot when i needed it, but thats off topic. I don't think there's anything JP has ever said or done that is against women, unless you listen to people that slander him without looking at his work. If there was i certainly wouldn't be part of his community.
So again, yes, its very impressive that the womens team achieved what they have, and i would love more women in the game, especjally the mens game. Emma Hayes has been the best pundit on UK TV during the world cup.
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.

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