I think the women could hang with the men's team - could they beat them though?
I would love to see a friendly match between the teams....talk about hype! |

A youth boys club team destroyed our USWNT.
So..... |
You’re delusional. They would probably get blown out by the MD boys state high school champions. |
| For Christ’s sake. Why don’t you go start a SAHM vs WOGM debate instead if you feel like bringing the misogynists out of the woodwork. |
*WOHM |
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. |
| This again |
FC Dallas also removed the record of the “game” from their site when they realized they wouldn’t get future opportunities to interact with national teams if they continued to misrepresent the event in order to promote themselves. |

Yep speed, size, quickness and strength. It would not be a contest. Just watching the game you can tell the speed difference.

| It's just different. Federer, or even players below the top 10 would blow away Serena and she's epic. |
| I am not a knuckle dragger and support equal pay and support 100 percent. But this would not be close. The technical quality and power of the women’s World Cup teams, especially in second halves, has been extremely weak. The USWNT looks great by comparison but simply could not compete with strength and speed advantage of men at absolutely every position. |
| What would be interesting would be to bring back the 1994 men's team to play the current USWNT. Kind of like Bobby Riggs v. Billy Jean King. Old men (late 40's and early 50's) v. top of the game women. My money would be on the women in that match. |

You’re kidding, right?
There’s a reason that even many flaming liberals oppose transgendered women competing as women. Huge physiological advantages. The US women’s team is awesome...against other women’s teams. |
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. |

We've seen a couple of these type matchups. 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. |
