I saw the USWNT play a qualifier. All the stars were playing. The USWNT romped 8-0. The other country they were playing had a few players who played NCAA DI but most played on the semi-pro team in their country. It was amazing the difference in the quality of soccer between the USWNT and the other country.

The next week I saw a game with our local MSL team. The difference in ball speed and velocity was pretty stark. The women move as well as the men and had all the same ball control skills, spin, etc. But it is just simple physics and a male leg has more power and speed than a female leg regardless of skill and training.

So you feel the need to share stories from The Gateway Pundit (whatever that is) with all of us? Next time consider your audience. Or comment at The Gateway Pundit (whatever that is).

credit to the Welsh team for being total gentlemen and not scoring 50, which they easily could have done. looked like they were playing at about 50%. I have no doubt their coach told them to go easy so as not to humiliate them any further.

reminded me of a high school basketball game where they put in a kid with MS and the other team stands back and lets him score.

No. They look like they are playing underwater compared to men. Same in the WNBA and NCAA softball.

Yes, 0-12 seems unlikely against a pro men team. 0-50 seems more likely, with a bunch of injuries on the women side.

Getting a ball in the face from the lowest men league pro player would pretty much guarantee an ambulance trip to any female player.

You cannot possibly be this stupid.

I actually follow soccer so I knew about this when I actually happened. First of all, Wrexham is on the rise and is not D-list - Ryan Reynolds owns them and is investing a lot in them. I don’t watch their Netflix show, but they’re legit.

Just to clarify for others, Wrexham is moving up from the 5th tier of English football to the 4th tier (since they were league champs last year).

re: Cornpop

Was going to post some videos of men vs women boxing, I couldnt do it it was ugly, not cool watching a woman getting beat up. yep.....sucks.

Sure a female MMAer could handle some guy in a bar but in vs a male MMer she'd get destroyed,

Women make bad cops, knowing they can't handle the thug out comes her weapon, while a male cop doesn't need to go there.

There are other examples of this, like the USA women's team losing to Dallas U15 boys team. Soccer is very physical so no surprise there's such a huge gap between men and women.

re: jamin

This was not a Wrexham team that has any resemblance to the team that just got promoted into the 4th tier of English football (Yes Welsh teams Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Wrexham always opt to compete in the English pyramid).

Lee Trundle who scored 4 goals is a semi-legendary player but he is now 46 and even at his peak never played in the Premier League, the rest were retired other than a couple of journeymen and youth players. Having said all that, they still were not trying very hard.

Just like you can probably appreciate both men and women’s ice skating for different reasons, I feel the same can be said for soccer.

I'm sure you're just trying to be nice, but the last part of that sentence doesn't check out.
