They’d never allow any other match to be played the same day as a men’s WC final.

 

Huge difference between mens and womens WC final the mens probably has a global audience of over a billion the womens maybe 10% of that

 

Gee I wonder why. Couldn’t be that even developed countries like England have told women for years that they can’t play the game.

Outside of gymnastics and ice skating, the male version of every sport is massively more popular than the female version. Males are the better athletes, and are more interested in sports generally. This can be true without some massive patriarchal conspiracy. If the women's game can grow to be self-sustaining at a professional level, this would be a positive start.

What theoretical other international match that people care about could be scheduled on the same day as the actual WC final? Male players will not complain if the women's Copa Oro is on the same day. The male football calendar is crowded and lucrative, and the matches on this date do not overlap at all. It is a nonsensical complaint, the WWC has had plenty of time and media coverage, despite three other major male continental tournaments occurring at the same time.

 

They could’ve easily scheduled those other finals yesterday, too. Would’ve cost them nothing and been a bit of goodwill.

It is costing the Women's final nothing. The controversy is fabricated and idiotic.

 

Says the man, to be fair. The actual women playing feel differently.

There’s a lot of catch-22 involved with women’s soccer. Need to play better to prove to men they deserve more funding; need more funding to improve the quality of play.

 

Anyway, I’m fine holding the unpopular opinion.

Ok o. :lol: I feel like 40% of this forum is mocking the misguided opinions of of current and former footballers, I won't spare Rapinoe. Anyway, I am enjoying the match with my wife and two daughters while watching/following the other football on now and later. It is alright.

 

Interesting match thus far, tbh. The US dominating but haven't created a ton of serious chances. Holland are dangerous on the counter.

 

edit: Very poor defending to give away a penalty there. No reason for it.
