In front of a large crowd in London at Wembly stadium.

And the women fans in England are starting to wonder why their girls aren't making more money....... like the men do....

I've seen this movie before.

I watched the game. It was very exciting, as far as soccer goes. My son & I will be at Wembley to see England vs German in the mens tournament on Sept 26.

This sport is the world's sport, for both men & women, but fans only turn out in numbers like this to support their country. Regular women's games can't hold a candle to the men's games though in fan support.

Yep, they don't realize it's because of nationalism that they have support. No one cares about women's professional sports, at all, anywhere.

Women's Manchester United 2021-2022 Attendance:

Highest: 20,241
Lowest: 1,001
Average: 3,567/match

The world's communist....

I watched it too and it was a fascinating game. The kind of game where the more dominant team didn't win, which is why you play the games.

But no, in the free market system, women's soccer will never support equal salaries. That's life.

And to think I wasted my Sunday afternoon watching the Astros win in extra innings!

The thing that I love about the "Why don't women make as much as men in sports?" argument is the most obvious fact is completely ignored. If other women cared about actually supporting women's sports this would be a non issue. If they even cared a fraction of what men do about men's sports it would not be an issue. Women don't want to watch or attend women's sports and yet they expect men who want to watch men's sports (along with a LOT of women who watch men's sports) to pay for the women's sports.

Last I checked about half the world and every country is women. Anytime they want to start spending their dollars to support other women they are free to do so.

I'm a huge football / soccer fan... those teams could not beat a bad mens college team or even a good boys high school team. As great as the Aggie girls soccer team is, they could not beat a boys freshman H.S. team, though they could beat my over 40 beer league team...

Watch the Bill Burr comedy bit on this. He absolutely nails it

A Bill Burr fan I see!!!

Sorry I didn't see you post!

It's a lot like the olympics. The whole world watches to huge ratings t&f and swimming and biathlon and ice skating. That doesn't mean that there's much money in it for all but a very select few once the torch is extinguished.

How did I get on the Soccer board?
