Yes, Great games! Lots of skill and talent across a lot of teams.

| A Spanish football team in the final. What’s new? Can’t wait to be schooled by an American aficionado as to why our pay to play system is better tho |
Ha! You're grumbling so loud. No one will chime in to say that. But still, the last 4 matches USWNT vs Spain USWNT has won 3 times tied once. |
Can you tell us about your plan to make youth soccer free? Is it free for every player in Spain? |
Don’t plz. They might make the case why the Us is not playing the Euros this year. Maybe not at their level. Lol |
Yes and the team that beat the US was Spain’s B team because of internal politics. Spain did not get serious about women’s game till 2019. That is when they started to make the investments. They did not have a professional women’s league till 2015. That is a pretty incredible rise. Their youth teams are at every level are dominated and getting better each years. Spain is scary. In terms of producing top players they have not reached their peak yet. Their star players talk about how the up and coming 15 years have better skills and understanding of the game because the development that is now taking place. The US would be the 4th or 5th best team in the 2025 Euro. No NWSL team would made it out of the group stage if there was a Women’s Club World Cup. Love to see that with same paydays! The center of women’s soccer is now Europe. Chelsea just paid 1.36 million for a Canadian woman player. The crowd sizes and TV ratings mean more money and resources. This is great thing for the women’s games. |
Why are there top international players in NWSL if the league is so bad? Why don’t they all go to Europe? I’m asking a serious question. This is not a troll post. |
I think the United States won Olympic gold. Did all of these amazing European teams not participate? |
Naw, who cares. Even ESPN not covering it. |
I guess you could say the same thing about the Super Bowl then. |
US soccer has its issues and Europe will continue to get better as countries invest more in the women’s game which I agree is great for the women’s game but a lot of this complaining is nonsense. US is ranked no 1 in the world and even if you think Spain is better there is no way there are four teams better than the US at the Euros. Opta just ranked the NWSL as the toughest league in the world— so even recognizing that individual teams in Europe are better and that you might quibble with the rankings the league and its teams are strong. Esme Morgan went from barely getting call ups to starting the Euro semifinal because of the experience she got playing in DC. The funding for WSL teams is fundamentally different from the NWSL— it will be interesting to see long term which works better but for now the UK leans towards favoring a couple of top clubs willing to spend big while the US favors competitive parity. |
Still don't care |
