[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you see them on 60 minutes several months ago? I was so embarrassed for them! They simply don't bring home the bacon like the men do. [/quote]

Troll.

They bring home gold medals.

They have won the World Cup four times.

The men never won any big tournaments.

Are you talking about the US? The US men’s team is terrible. [/quote]

Men's soccer is infinitely harder.  Compared to the rest of the world, there is way more investment in women's soccer in the US. There is way less investment in men's soccer in the US compared to the rest of the world.  The rest of the world simply doesn't care about women's soccer as much as they do for men's. Soccer in the US just isn't popular, while people are fanatical about men's soccer leagues elsewhere.  [/quote]

In your opinion. It's not.

The men suck. The women are good.

The women have zillions of fans and the number of them continues to grow.

The men? Eh. Who watches them. Anyone?

Not the pp but women soccer in the US is an event like the Olympics. People are not soccer fans or women soccer fans. The only time people tune in is during World Cup games. Outside the US they can’t even sell out the stadiums and the tv share in non existent. Seriously even in the US people just do not care. Went to a NWSL game with 6 World Cup starters on the field. The only one people in the stands recognized and got excited about was the one with pink hair. Not because she is a great soccer player(she is not) but because she has pink hair and markets herself well. [/quote]
