The speed of the game is not even close. That doesn't mean you cannot enjoy women's soccer but please don't for a moment compare it to the men's game.
    Did that game really take place? Link to a score or story?

      That's an urban legend that's been floating on TS for years. The men should beat the women but it doesn't change the fact that the men suck at soccer and they are being developed at zero cost to the player.

        I'm not the poster but I had heard the same score recently although I cannot remember where. I have seen a number of references to games between the USWNT and various top youth boys teams and the boys teams had won by several goal margins. I friend of mine from California actually watched a U17 ODP boys team beat the USWNT 5-0 but that was 5 or 6 years ago. Not really surprising, it all boils down to speed of play. These results are true in most sports. Take tennis, any top men's college player would beat any top 10 professional women player. Not sure that makes women's soccer less relevant to those that like it, which is basically girls and the parents of girls that play...

        Don't even get me started on women's basketball...

          Yeah it happened. I don't recall the score but the boys won. Here is a link to the IMG webpage. If I remember correctly one of the games was close but the boys won all the games. For PC reasons no scores were posted.

            Hey we're all rooting for the USWNT (although being thoroughly out played by the Socceroos right now), but the US women were dominant during an era when other countries allocated no resources to women's soccer or didn't even think women should be playing soccer.

            Now that a few countries are actually throwing some resources at their women's national teams our women aren't doing so hot are they? How many World Cups titles does Abbey have? How have they been doing at the Olympics? How about FIFA World Players of the Year?

            The era when the US (paradoxically) was the only country that cared about women's soccer has passed. So let's not try to compare US men's lack of success where just about every country on Earth cares passionately about the game with the US women's (past) success when no other country on Earth gave a crap about women's soccer. Just the facts.

                They also lost to a couple of U17/U16 boys club teams in So Cal in the last couple of years
                USWNT is about the standard of a very good USSDA U16 academy team or the US BNT U15 team. Beyond this level the speed and physicality of the boys/mens game over 90 minutes is just too much for the womens' game.

                  Having said that just saw the USWNT in the opener vs AUS and Rapinoe played absolutely great, regardless of age or sex

                      Men with little dicks. Who needs you? insignficant in every way. And if the moderator had half a sack, they'd remove this thread, since there apparently isn't intelligent life here....

                          She didn't look good at all early. Very selfish with the ball, held it to long, forced shots when there wasn't one. I'm ready for the old guard to be gone and bring in a real coach and young players. Too much talent in US to have these older players around.

                            I think the Cameroon /Ecuador game was entertaining!

                              Agreed. She kept sending wasted air balls to whom??? However, we can't take away the fact she scored two and assisted 1. I think she is really good but needs to control her passes on the ground.

                                Relax Butch--everyone here already knows you have no use for men and any size male member. Admit it you're like the rest of the soccer loving world and don't watch women's soccer for the sporting value of the games--no watching all those buzz cuts, flat chests, and thick thighs is a veritable meat market for you. No you watch to get all hot and bothered. Enjoy the rest of the world cup.
