pretty much, this is the only place I've seen the national anthem thing discussed.
Now, I've seen some of my *woke* female friends on FB praise the dominance of the USWNT's win.
They care.
I really wanted to post the thing about the adolescent boys team beating the best women in the world, but I figured their pathetic lives are so desperate for validation of railings against all things male that I'd let them enjoy their moment.

In before France blows the uswnt TFO. They are built differently over there, and the benefit of the US women being the only ones to take women’s soccer seriously has passed.

Yeah, but against who?
After their 13-0 rout, articles started popping up about a 2017 practice match between the USWNT and a Dallas TX boys 15-U team.
The boys won.
A scrimmage to just get out on the field & get more touches on the ball should not be compared to bringing your A game in a World Cup game in the least. The USWNT would probably demolish the USMNT.
Come on. I'm a proponent of equal base pay for the men and women but the notion that the women could beat the men is silly. Making that argument is barking up the wrong tree. If they could match up, the sport would be coed.
Saying that the women could beat the men is saying that the female players are better than people who play on BVB (going to Chelsea), Schalke, PSG (played last season on Celtic and is going to Lille), Newcastle, Fulham, etc.
There are people on the men team who have beaten Ghana (with Prince-Boateng and 15 other players playing Top Flight European football), The Netherlands MEN, Germany's MEN, Egypt's MEN, Mexico's MEN, Spain's MEN.
Not going to lie to you, the women wouldn't beat any men's team out there because a men's team would simply be able to keep the ball far away from them and have them chasing all game. They'd be able to find space everywhere on the field AND would win everything that required physical play.

Yea that's been out there forever. Of course there are physical differences between sexes. My point is at least she did her job unlike the men losing two games this week to **** teams

The changing youth soccer landscape has ruined the men's team and it will be a long time before they are ever relevant again. The American men becoming pros now were the first to be exposed to the $3,000/year mega-club landscape and standardized "academy style" training that was supposed to be the answer to all our problems and turn us into Germany. Now we can't even win a game, much less make the World Cup.
I disagree, the new pros today are the first ones to go through academy training that wasn't high dollar. The Clint Dempseys, Jozy Altidores, etc were the last to go through the very expensive clubs. Now it's more about going to an MLS, USL, Premier League, or Bundesliga academy academy.
What the problems really are: the fact that we lost those tough German-trained players as a supplement to what we had, we've lost GK identity AND a lot of our really good talent has gotten old. No Tim Chandler, Jermaine Jones, John Brooks, Fabian Johnson. Altidore isnt the player he was anymore. Zusi isn't getting the call ups. Dempsey's gone. Howard's gone. Guzan's no longer Premier League quality anymore, Yedlin has peaked, Beckerman isn't gonna be back, Bradley isn't good anymore, etc.
This is why I'm hoping for the development of McKinnie, Sargeant, Pulisic, Klinnsmann, Weah, etc.
We still need to get out scouting apparatus straight.

I thought the USL ones were free too, my bad. This is where pro/rel could possibly help. Give them incentive to have free academies.

Well, I don't follow much women's soccer.
What I'm forced to follow though, is their political and social-political statements they tend to make so often. Due to all of that, I had no idea a boys' 15-U team beat them 5-1. That's HILARIOUS. So... just because women's soccer is apparently a joke of a sport on the global scale and they dominate it, they want to be paid equal to the men's national team? LOL
Additionally... Rapinoe is really getting annoying and I agree with the poster that said she "needs to check her privilege." She plays a sport in which she can get famous for winning world titles but also get blasted 5-1 by boys 15-U team from a random city in the U.S., gaaaaaarbage.
I'd rather give a raise to the folks flipping my burgers and handing me cold fries.
