And anyone that has seen a substantial number of soccer games knows what a 5-2 game looks like. Probably within 10 minutes the boys coach knew it was a total mismatch and played accordingly. Additionally the boys were probably told to hold up on the physical contact. Most minutes were most likely played by 12 and 13 year olds. The article downplays the victory by emphasizing that the game was only a scrimmage. The truth is that if the boys team played full throttle start to finish it would have looked like the USWNT against Thailand.

...except the boys wouldn't have been celebrating the final goals like children.

Probably mostly 13 year olds and even a few 12's.

Bottom line:
US soccer fans don’t give a zhit about Dallas U15 boys but USWNT world champs.

I think the actual point is that the fans are actually not soccer fans at all. If they were they could see better soccer for free at any boys high school game. The team and their fans are simply a political arm of left.

Good! Soccer is left wing sport. Hopefully USWNT will produce more left wing

Bottom line is that any good Academy U15 boys team can beat the women’s team easily. Wonder what the boys National U17 team would do to them. Don’t take my word for it just google it before the left purges all accounts of it. Has been happening for years.

This is the part is that is throwing me? Why would any self respecting Academy boys team of any age want to play a women's team of any age? Are they "self identifying" from a gender perspective and saying that they are actually a women's team?

Why would they (and their coaches) want to play against a women's team of any age?

They dont.The boys never want to play against the girls as they see it as a waste of time.Boys don't want to train with them either as thers no Benifets for them.Its the girl coaches that constantly push for it selfishly not caring about it not beneficial to the boys.

Jill Ellis pushed for the game hoping that it would show the women were due the same money paid to U15 boys academy teams. She would show up at the Dallas U15 field daily and taunt the coach and players. Finally she started bringing Alex Morgan and Rapinoe with her and they would juggle balls and challenge the 14 year old boys to juggling contests, insisting it would prove the women were better. The boys coach finally had enough and felt that he had no option but to play them to get rid of Ellis, Morgan, and Rapinoe. Unfortunately the only day the women could play the boys already had scheduled game. So the boys coach went to the local middle school and asked a group of random 13 year olds if they would play. They agreed and an available janitor coached. And the rest is history.

Quite common for women’s college players to train with men adult league or club players in free time to push themselves to be quicker. Some men players get scholarships on the women’s college teams to practice with the women.

Don't watch or listen to anything Nike has to say.They made a choice to be anti American & get behind the Scum so I'll buy Adidas, Fila, sketchers,anything but Nike .They can stick their Company were the sun dont shine. Their totally irrelevant to me.

Nike has s a despicable company. Buy any other brand but theirs.

Let’s consider the issues here:

* The women’s team is paid less than the men’s team. Not even the federation disputes that. In their lawsuit, the women claim they make roughly 38 cents for every dollar the men’s team makes.

* The resume of the women’s team makes the U.S. men’s team look like the neighborhood rec league. The women have won four World Cups and four Olympic golds. The men have never won either. Heck, the men haven’t even qualified for the last two Olympic Games.

* The women’s team generated more money than the men’s team from 2016 to 2018, according to the U.S. Soccer Federation’s own financial statements acquired by the Wall Street Journal. Nike also recently announced the national team’s women’s jersey was the best-selling soccer jersey in the apparel company’s history.

So, to recap, the women are more popular, more successful and more profitable than the men. And yet their paychecks are less than half the size.

Stats show less viewership...some speculate Rapinoe is turning off millions.

The Women’s team needs to stick what got them here. Play well, win games and stay professional. Ask for all you deserve, just don’t go down the road with Rapinoe. It is not going to work in the long run.
