Can you tell me your take on women’s soccer? |
In short, the USA women have a multigenerational headstart on most of the female world where women were openly discouraged and shunned from playing soccer. Women in other traditional soccer nations are now playing soccer. So, the jig is up, and in the not-too-distant future, USA women's soccer will be a thing of the past. They're currently like Yale football from the late 1800s and early 1900s. |

Aren’t we so lucky to have you illuminate this very complex topic with your brilliant observation. I’m sure you have many more things to mansplain but nobody cares, bud.
The ignorance and dismissiveness of the original post is the exact same brand of misogyny that has held women back from playing soccer around the world. Go back to typing up all the little boys leagues, that’s the work of the expert. |
The truth that America had a long head start in women's soccer offends you? |
You are missing one huge point. There are far fewer women's sports that are siphoning off the talent like men's side. |
| Everyone knows about the global women’s soccer landscape, dude. The competition from other sports, the lack of investment, the duchebaggery of the original post. That is hardly a good reason to be dismissive about the girl’s soccer leagues as they are trying to build something after decades of your type of bs. It is the misogyny that is offensive. Do you understand that now? |
| The US did struggle at the last World Cup, but leadership matters and in hiring Emma Hayes we've already seen a great bounce back, highlighted by the Olympic gold, and if you listen to what she says (and has done) about working to improve the whole elite ecosystem it seems to me the US continues to have a bright future on the women's side. |
Facts Yikes- the delusion in response to this is troubling |
Dates for when the women from different “traditional soccer” countries started playing in international games below: US -1985 England -1972 Scotland -1972 Finland - 1973 Russia - 1990 Japan -1981 Brazil - 1986 Portugal - 1981 Germany - 1982 Spain -1981 China - 1986 Mexico - 1970 Austria - 1970 I could go on…. But, I think my point has been made about your “facts”…. The U.S. women did NOT have a multigenerational head start. But thanks for your take on the “reality of women’s soccer,” and thanks for the laughs. |
There are plenty of articles on the subject (written by broads, no less) with a similar take. Maybe sit down and let those of us who are less emotional (in general) discuss the issue. https://sites.bu.edu/wtbu/2023/09/23/all-about-womens-sports-womens-soccer-is-changing/ |

The GA girls teams ddddestroyed the European academies at the Adidas Cup, PDA girls dominated the Nike Cup against other international teams, all women's USYNT and WNT continue to compete at a high level that the boys and men's teams never have and without even the slightest bit of improvement, never will.
Here's who's delusional - the dad who harps about the DMV boys club leagues and brings up the girls only to dismiss them as inferior or irrelevant. Let me repeat in case it didn't sink in the first time: All boys parents think boys soccer matters over girls. Yet the reality is, US boys are years behind other nations and US men’s soccer is laughable at best with no chance of catching up any time soon. So kindly show due respect or stfu |

With all due respect, it's only a matter of time. Emma Hayes is one person. Love her to death. But she can't fix the dead/dying system we have in our USA soccer system. |
The only thing that article discusses is expanded resources in different countries. Not that women were not allowed to play in traditional soccer countries before the U.S. Please stop trying to dig yourself out of your hole, you are embarrassing yourself. Maybe if you stop being so emotional, I could find a “broad” to teach you some actual facts and how to do some actual research, or at least teach you how to read accurately the research you find. |
