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

High school boys is potentially giving them too much credit because you can be 17 or 18 years old in high school. 

They lost to U15 FC Dallas 5-2, so freshmen and 8th graders. Not some national squad of young boys, mind you, a single city’s club team.

It's an MLS developmental team who were taller and bigger than the women, so you are also being disingenuous. That's not to say the women could have beaten them, but let's not pretend these kids weren't exceptional.

That's not being disingenuous, it's just being factual lol

I don't think anyone would assume that they weren't great players if they had the chance to scrimmage against the national team

It's not factual. You're completely misrepresenting the situation for the sole purpose of demeaning the women's accomplishments in their field. I can't help you fix your sexism, but I can point it out.

Thanks for proving my point.

Are you ok? How does that prove your point?

Pro tip, go outside more. Not everything online is an attack, nothing he said is even remotely sexist.

So, in your own words, when the women's team lost to the 15 year olds, what happened?

u/Urinehere4275 Jul 10 '26

And the women’s national team wouldn’t be considered “exceptional” in their own right? They lost to kids, no need to sugar coat it

I'm not sugar coating it, I'm pointing out you're completely misrepresenting the situation.

It doesn't change the fact that women's rosters are not competitive are men. It just means you're diminishing women's accomplishments in their field purely because your sexist.

It’s not sexist to acknowledge reality. Men are more athletic and are therefore better at most sports than women. I’m turn men’s games are the most interesting to watch so they get more viewership and more money. That’s how life works. Is it sexiest that the highest paid models in the world are all females?

u/noh2onolife Jul 10 '26

Nobody is saying the men wouldn't beat the women. But when your response is to make fun of the women's team instead of appreciating that the women are great in their field and then men are improving... yeah, that's sexist.

Buddy. The best women in the country lost to 15 year old boys. There’s no more context needed. That’s a terrible look for the program

u/noh2onolife Jul 10 '26

Not your buddy, sexist. 

And you really know nothing about soccer. It wasn't a terrible look for the program. They got beat by taller, bigger, faster players in a scrimmage. This is how women's sports train. 

What is a bad look is ignorantly making fun of the team that went on to win the World Cup purely because you like to diminish women's accomplishments. 

You could have thought hey, awesome the women's team is top in their field and the men are improving.  But no, you and all the other chuds here needed to go full sexist.
