Here it is: “Of course, this match against the academy team was very informal and should not be a major cause for alarm. The U.S. surely wasn’t going all out, with the main goal being to get some minutes on the pitch, build chemistry when it comes to moving the ball around, improve defensive shape and get ready for Russia.” https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/ne...-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage/amp/
i don't agree with that,.. a top women's college team would beat a middling good men's high school team
sure, they are about equal to middle school, so a good middle school team is equivalent to a good womens team. a middling middle school team of white kids who just picked up a ball would get beat by LSU. there are kids in middle school that dunk very hard. they would ruin women. the key is that all humans are basically the same at sports until male puberty which makes men a thousand times better, leaving women permanently at middle school male level.
i don't entirely agree, Jmg, but fair enough ----------- i liked following the women's game, it's entertaining, exciting and fun,.. the men's college game was ruined for me because of all the transferring, and one and dones,.. i liked watching the freshmen grow up, i liked having mostly the same team as the year before, i liked knowing how our players were likely to perform this year,.. mostly i liked the players being about loving their school now a days seemingly, there's a new unknown team playing for the ducks just about every year,.. there's little school spirit in the players anymore, i don't think that's fun,.. and it's gonna get worse, it's gonna turn into,. the freshman and sophomore years are going to be a proving time,.. after that,. the good players will transfer to a school providing the sweetest NIL package for a while,.. the women's college teams were more stable in that regard,. they had more school spirit, the girls stuck around until they graduated, so year to year, you could watch the players develop and grow into their own,.. now tho, the transfer portal and NIL has fucked up the womens game as well LSUTiga mentioned briefly, transgenders,.. they're going to kill women's sports for me,.. what administrator in this country is going to have the nuts to say, No,.. and stop trannies from joining the teams
it was against FC Dallas under 15 academy team. If you are playing at that level at 15, you are really good.
That depends on how the game is officiated. The women play closer to the rules. A lot of the high flying, slamming and jamming game you see in mens basketball would go away if the refs actually officiated by the rule book. In the NBA, a guy has to have a suitcase to get called for traveling. Three steps and no call.
If I were a professional team that got my ass kicked by a bunch of 15 year Olds I'd make up a bunch of bullshit to lessen the blow as well. Typical for you to suck it down
