That's some sorry *** defending from Inter Fort Lauderdale

What about the simple fact that the women only bring a fraction of the money that the men bring in? Are we supposed to ignore that?

Honestly yes, especially for a national team. The revenue shouldn’t matter imo when you are representing your country. The men will not even feel the difference if the pay is divided equally, and it is life changing money for a lot of the women.

I say this as someone who doesn’t care at all about women’s soccer, so take that how you will lol

The most shambolic Owen goal I've seen in this tournament

 

[frshstunna]

Miami said F defense

 

[sonoftony]

Becks better call Scumbag Ramos up after this match

 

[sonoftony]

[DsLee]

Sweden goalie having the game of her life.

WOW. blocked.

oh wow look at that. I wonder where...

Spoiler: well now

Miami needs Ramos

A 10 second google search shows that during a 2 year audit, the USWNT generated more revenue than the USMNT.

There's no argument on men's footy vs women's as a whole in terms of revenue but specifically speaking about the US teams, the women's team is far more successful AND brings in more money.

Got William carvalho to sign my flag

Wasn’t going to pass up an opportunity meeting mascherano

Don’t forget about Porto two time europa league winners and o mágico

Did fans have to pay extra to meet Mascherano?

Like I said it’s a circular argument… deeply ingrained sexism is part of the reason they only bring in a fraction of the money. They haven’t even had the same opportunity to develop their particular sport in terms of the amount of time that it’s been going on and the investment.

thought i accidentally clicked on a ben shapiro appreciation thread reading some of these takes

 

[DeadsetAce]

Nigeria giving the England all they can handle. hope they pull this off

 

[Sinner]

That was shockingly dumb. Hero to zero.

 

[fluid hips]

African teams always find a way to self sabotage

England missed a penalty and mfs decide to shoot and miss in the same direction as the England player

 

[fluid hips]

Soccercatch dot com got full match replays of alot of games

So all these wins for Messi and none are league games or get them up in the standings lol

it’s national team

Katie ledecky gets the same as Phelps from america based on their level of success.. it’s the sponsorship where their popularity comes into play

and other countries compensate their athletes significantly more for their performances than the US does for national team results

also the USMNT ain’t driving THAT many people to go and watch the World Cup
