You’re delusional. They would probably get blown out by the MD boys state high school champions.
Then why don't those boys get as much attention and money as USW?
Terribly sexist and unfair.

When they are in or near the box, they must think the ball is magic and they just shoot even though there is a defender right in front of them and it hits the defender and bounces away, a large portion of their shots miss the goal by yards. They sky them because they don't get over the ball. Miss wide by 10 yards. Their backs play weak passes into the midfield that easily get intercepted (and the midfielder isn't checking shoulders to see the defender jumping the pass). Just the same stuff that drives me nuts with my son's u12 team.

The women’s team has a terrible touch on the ball compared to the men’s team. Luckily they play different sports. Women’s soccer is not the same as men’s soccer.
Why is that? Do they need a smaller or softer ball or smaller field or larger goals? Or even different rules? I watch womens basketball but don't feel the players are less skilled.

It's the US soccer mentality, men and women. It's ugly football.
