    I’ve heard people say this before, I disagree. How exactly is it a girls sport? Just because they get more scholarship money due to Title IX? Go to any men’s college game vs a women’s college game and count the spectators, same goes for MLS vs NWSL. Go to a HS game even. It’s not even close. Women’s soccer is almost as unwatchable as women’s basketball. The pace, physicality, etc can’t be compared.
    Spot on

      People who say that will claim the "real athletes" play other sports, especially football. I bet most are failed former football players themselves and grew up making fun of soccer. Now they can't even run the length of a football field and they're on TS obsessing about their kids' soccer.

      Yes women's soccer is painful. It's why there will never be a substantial professional league. No one wants to watch it, not even many soccer fans.

        We are not talking about the professional level, we are talking about youths. On the male scale of athletics in America, soccer is significantly down on the list, regardless of participation #s. It simply does not draw the elite talents. It's not even a debate.

        Yet it does for female athletes. Of course there is a huge difference in the game, as it is in all sports when comparing males to females. That doesn't change the facts though.

        If you are going to hang your hat on the fact that males are better athletes, well there is saying from the '80's about that - Duh!

                    Big difference watching the #1 team in the country that has won how many championships? vs an OK men's soccer program. Also basketball is a much popular and plays in the winter, indoors. Not much going on in Storrs in the winter. Men's soccer also fights for attention in the fall with football. The more relevant comparison is men's vs women's soccer. Same season same sport

                              This may be short lived. Simple the AD is a cheeseball. Could careless about the game. Total d0uche

                                Biff and Karen chase out the coach. Year later how are they doing? Check season stats, too funny. Be careful what you wish for. A once dominant program is now laughable.
