Who would win between US men vs. women national teams?

My daughter's very good U17 A team scrimmaged the U15 boys C team at our club and lost 14-1--we were surprised by how easily the boys ran by the girls. A very cocky coach of a U13 girls A team that destroyed all their competition challenged our son's U11 team to a futsal game and the boys won something like 30-5. And these girls were truly outstanding. Many have gone on to play D1.

The only time the soccer matchups are even is when the kids are all very young. After that the physical differences are just too extreme. I have seen college women basketball players destroy regular dudes in pickup games though.

That's because one person is a professional and the other one is not. Given two people of similar skill and experience, male physical advantages matter.

The analogue would have to be men’s college soccer players, not the men’s national team. Bobby Riggs was an amateur. But it would be fun to watch and if I had to pick people for my workplace, the top 11 women from that era would go before a single men’s player got drafted. Super smart, edgy but ultimately group-focused set of players.

LOL no. The current USA team would crush the USA women’s 1990’s teams. Soccer specially on the women’s side has evolved. The 1994 men’s team had pro players for Europe.. John Harkes, Tony Meola, Earnie Stewart, Tab Ramos, Roy Wegerle, Eric Wynalda, Claudio Reyna, Alexi Lalas and more. Put them in their prime against the women’s team ...no contest.

Nah, they still played old school American style though. Boot it up and chase after it. They were not good.

Um. I was talking about whom I would hire in a workplace. Not on the field. Read the post next time.

So.....

That wasn’t an actual match, it was a friendly kick-around to get the USWNT some pitch time to practice different play formations. The USWNT wasn’t trying to win.

Our youth boys rec team u8 accepted a friendly match with the a 2 season undefeated girls team. Within 10 minutes it was 8-0; it the girls were proud and would not add a player despite being destroyed.
The girls coach admitted he was really surprised at the result. The final score was a lot to 0.

And girls crying.

Just reality.

The year my daughter's U14 rec team was undefeated, they practiced at the same time/place as a U12 boys team, that had a middling season. They scrimmaged each other regularly. The boys were clearly dominant. I think scrimmaging the boys during practice helped elevate the girls game and was one of the reasons they had such a good season.

If they opened up womens sports to men, there no longer would be womens sports. However, the opposite is not true.

Even more of a reason to be overwhelmed. Grownass men ramming the ball down their throats

Guy here. I was a good high school player, ODP, and college club player. I have played with / against several former women's Pros, including 2 USWNT members (not stars). They were almost exactly even with me in terms of technique and speed, but I am way stronger.

I did not have the technique or physical athleticism to play D1 college soccer. The male former D1 players I know would destroy me, and likely these same women. If you make it an entire team of each, it would be worse.
