Exclusively with US international soccer, the women's team has better coordination and execution than the men's team. People can like women's soccer and thats fine but this just isn't true. The women's game is a much more basic game being played by players that are less talented than the men. It is an objectively worse product if you care about quality, tactics, and pace of play. For those reasons I find it far less enjoyable to watch. The men's team disappoints me so much. I get that the women's team doesn't have as high of a ceiling as the men's team, but the men's team has only recently started playing with some high tempo efforts, mostly due to having players go overseas and learn the game. The US Women's team has shown that they know how to win and have won. The US men's team has disappointed me so many times when they start playing prevent defense after getting a goal, or waiting until way too late to decide that maybe they should actually start pressing the attack so they can get back into a game. That said, the competition that the men's team does or might face is lot more stifling than the what the women's team regularly faces. When the women's team lost to Japan in the WC earlier this decade, I remember specifically being mad that they started doing what the men's team does and pulling off the gas and playing not to lose. --- "I don't think anyone seriously thinks that Trump supporters orgasm when they see racism in the news." - Me, reassuring Ammonitida <cite>Kineth posted [p:914625388] in Do you lik...
