| Topic | US Soccer, men's and women's national teams agree to equal pay |

In practice it's the opposite. The men's team pulled in 9 million from FIFA and the women's team pulled in 4 million. Even though they placed higher in their league, the men's team just brought in more money overall. So what they're doing is pooling their prize money and then splitting it evenly, meaning using the numbers above the men and women's teams would each get four and a half million from the men's pool and 2 million from the women's pool. So for the women's team this is a two and a half million dollar increase and for the men's team it's a two and a half million dollar decrease. Edit: your confusion might be how FIFA handles payouts overall. The men's league pools all of their profits and pays out to each team a percentage of that based on their placement. The women's league does the same. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz ...
