I love comments like this.  Have you actually watched a women's game compared to a men's game?  If not, you should do so before making stupid comments.  Women's soccer in the US has a clear pathway with more options, but I'm going to pretend like it's at the same level.  An average team in any age group slaughters the top girls team in that same age group.  End of story, so let's sum it up like this.  It's easier for the girls side to do well because the boys side is just harder competition. [/quote]

this comment is baffling to me.  Are you saying the Union boys would beat Union girls in a match, and that's why the PP comment was stupid?  If so, there's a tremendous amount of irony it.  Yes, the women's game is different than the men's game.  I think it's pretty settled.  Nobody ever argues boys vs. girls.  The point was Union girls are competitive (against girls) and the Union boys are not (against boys).  I can't believe anyone would need the parentheticals.  After that, it sure sounds like you're whining that boys soccer is hard.    [/quote]

Exactly. Aside from extremely rare issues I’m not opening a can of worm on here, boys play boys and girls play girls. Each has college teams. Each has pro paths. Each has national teams. FVU boys will compete against ECNL boys and FVU girls will compete against ECNL girls.

You could actually argue the boys have it easier, comparatively speaking, since all the top teams are MLS Next.  When you compare apples to apples ….

In your logic, Serena Williams just isn’t that good because many pro men’s players good have beaten her. And Caitlin Clark is garbage because she wouldn’t even start on a major men’s college basketball team. Marta, she’s terrible because she couldn’t have started on Brazil’s men’s team.

Sexist much? Your logic would minimize all female sports accomplishments that men also play. [/quote]
