[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

Pretty much this.

I played D1 soccer in college and the men's team always destroyed us when we did our friendly pre-season scrimmage games.  We dominated against other women's college teams, though, and won our conference as well as the championship.

After college I responded to a rec league Facebook group for soccer and I looked like a superstar out there against 99% of the guys.  I could outrun, out dribble, and out score all of them except for the ones who had, like me, previous higher level soccer experience.

I'm a very fit, athletic woman... but I just don't have the muscle mass that the guys do.  The only way for the women to even have a chance of keeping up in score would to be for women's team to have extra players and extra subs so that for the second half, they only had fresh legs out there.  Basically, Team A plays the first half and Team B plays the second half, but both teams are made up of only the best and most elite women's soccer stars.  Even then, I'm not 100% sure they could beat them.  I think that way they'd definitely prevent a lopsided score of 2-15 or something.    [/quote]
