[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those team would easily beat the USWNT. [/quote]

Barca is mostly Spanish players, US v Spain hasn’t gone well for Spain. Chelsea is more international, but who knows[/quote]

Friendly reminder US has to beat Spain with two gifts in the form of pk last World Cup. [/quote]

Friendly reminder that Spain’s WNT has won nothing. Ever.

It is nice though to see they are getting more competitive and may be able to crack into the top 5 best teams in Western Europe. [/quote]

You are soooo smart!

They can’t win anything when they aren’t around. Friendly reminder the rest of the world didn’t really promote, endorse, foment and push for women soccer until a few years ago… USA women soccer has been around for 3-4 decades.

If you have any brain cells you’ll understand the progress Spain, France, Germany, Holland and any other European nation for that Matter, have made in just about 10 years demonstrates the USWNT will become a follower and not a leader in just about the next major trophy.

It’s hard to accept. But that’s life. Some people do it better. [/quote]

10 years? Are we living in the 1990’s?

Germany WNT team has been around since 1982. (2003 and 2007 World Cup champions)
France WNT has been around since 1971. 
Netherlands WNT has been around since 1971.
Spain WNT has been around since 1983.
USWNT has been around since 1985.

+1. The PP is one of those people that if you keep showing them facts they still won’t believe the truth. The USWNT has been around for less time than all those other major soccer countries and has so many more trophies. Not sure if the PP is a European transplant living off the fat of our country but still complaining, or simply a troll counter positing every time. It’s funny though. Next thing, he/she will talk about how great England is at soccer. England hasn’t won squat in decades in either gender (although I do think this is the year for the men in Euros). Then he/she will say, “but English teams have won the UEFA CL the last few years,” and we’ll say, “yeah but those teams have a lot of foreign players” ... but he/she will argue that fact too. The the PP will argue how great Spain is, and we’ll point out that they just spent 90 minutes passing the ball backwards and sideways to tie Sweden, and PP will call that the beautiful game.  It’s called football snobbery and close mindedness and playing not to lose vs. to win. The simple fact is that the US has won more team world sports championships than any other nation. Why? We are bigger, richer, and more competitive. That makes people, jealous. For men’s soccer the fourth tier it holds professionally against football, basketball, and baseball is why we don’t win. If we removed pro football and baseball like almost all other countries we’d be the best in the world at men’s soccer too. But we don’t, so we probably won’t. So someday if we do win the men’s WC it will be that much sweeter when we can say that we were the best in the world at a sport that is still only our fourth tier for us. [/quote]

No other country has anything like title 9. So let’s start the clock at 1972. This is the only reason the USWNT wins. The European women leagues have become way better vs NWSL. They are also paying a lot more vs NWSL(10,000 euros a month). Most of the posters here have never watched a women champions league game or any of the top European women’s clubs team but feel comfortable giving their expert analysis. Like the US never played women soccer before 1985. You just come off like an ignominious. Now that is football snobbery. 
The question is is there a better women team than the USWNT? The answer is yes. There are 4-6 and they are European club teams. The Barca’s women’s team would beat the USWNT 9 out of 10 times. The only players on the USWNT showing well are the ones who played in Europe last year. You think a team with Mewis, Lavelle and Dahlkemper would have had better results and won a few trophies in a Europe?

You’re comparing pro club teams to national teams. Not apples to apples. Name the women’s national teams that are better than the USWNT please. Cite recent game results (i.e. facts, not opinions please). Good luck.

Also, as another poster pointed out above, we have Title IX, and Europe has pro clubs subsidizing women’s pro teams. BTW, I have watched the women’s super league and CL. I do enjoy that female soccer more than NWSL, so will agree with you there. But to make an analogy, on the men’s side Belgium pro club soccer is not very good, but their national team is excellent. So again, not apples to apples.

But, it would be fun to see NWSL’s top teams each year compete in the Euro CL. I think they’d do well. Maybe not win it all, but would be very competitive. [/quote]
