[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watched a college soccer game between two top ten women’s teams the other day. It was horrible. So was the Spirit game I watched last month. If this is the best women’s product, then there is no hope unless there is some national flag behind the game. The NWSL should not be funded by anyone except investors. Not USSF, not MLS, no charity please either. It either stays afloat on its own or it doesn’t.

As far as USNT. Equal base funding and pay for all across all genders except for the actual international tourney revenue, and sponsor revenue which then goes to team that played in the tourney or got the sponsor. No cross gender revenue sharing. Let each gender stand up on its own. [/quote]

I agree. Womens college soccer is just a way to support Title 9.  The play is really bad.  Most of the goals are lucky.  I'm glad there is a way for girls to stay fit and receive money for college but it's honestly not great soccer.  College soccer coaches make less than 100K /year - most of them. Pro players make 14-35K a year.  Seriously what is the point? Yeah - go pro - work at Starbucks to pay rent.  No.. go to college on a scholarship - and get a fabulous degree and an even more fabulous non-soccer job. [/quote]
