In Brazil the national women team played against a local under 16 boys team for practice, and the boys were 7x0 when they decided to stop the match… And I still don’t know how it was even a surprise to many people. In this match you clearly see the men being gentle and holding back, not being even close to regular physical contact on their game just to no hurt the girls.

It wasn’t a normal Wrexham team - the striker Trundell was 46. The game was 7 a-side and only 20 minutes each half. 11 on 11 against the real Wrexham over 90 mins would be 30 or 40 to nil.

[@betolov]

misleading; the team that played in the charity match was not the official US women’s team that has been number one in the world for the past six years. The US team was actually made up of former players, while the Wrexham team comprised of a mix of former and still-active players.

[@alakbar7870]

The women's team is also made up of former U.S. women's players, no one from the current national women's team. However, in 2017, the then U.S. women's national team lost to the Dallas FC under-15 boys team 5 goals to 2, in a practice match before the women's team headed off to Russia. The point is, adolescent boys, and certainly grown men, will always be at a great advantage when going up against women in physical sports.

[@Martyntd5]

The world record for the women's 100m was set by Flo-Jo in 1988 (10.49). The fastest women ever, would currently be ranked at below 2000th if she was running against men. She wouldn't even make the national squad. I'm increasingly feeling like I've woken up in an alternate universe and everyone has gone mad.

[@EleoTeardrop]

I once had a friendly against Lyon women, the best team on the continent with 8 UEFA champion titles (think Real Madrid for women). It was behind closed door training game at the Gerland stadium. We won 4-0 without trying, the coach made a lot of changes at half time and kind of instructed us to take it easy the next 45'. We were 17y old at the time. I would very seriously estimate the best pro female soccer teams to be around the level of 13y old boys playing in the national league ("Benjamin" or "Minimes" categories as well call it here) I suspect those little guys could even win a championship amongst the pro women's league by the end of the season as they turn 14.

[@outdatedjoke9706]

my local club has all types of teams, including women team and U14/U15 squads. Their women team is one of the best in the country, played in Europa, even. They sometimes play friendlies with the U15 guys, and mostly it's a narrow win for the boys. So, yeah. Your estimation proves right

[@daviddavies3637]

@@josephberrie9550 No. You've got your information from channels with an ulterior motive. The rules of this tournament were weird but interesting. It was actually 11-0 at the end of normal time. They then used that as the "target score" for a period of extra time. I don't know if there was a time limit to the extra time but the aim was that the team that was losing had to then beat that score, but if the winning team scored again, the game was over. So Wrexham scored their last goal during that period of extra time. To show you how that worked, in one game, Wrexham "lost" 2-0 in regular time. So in extra time they had to score 3 times to win and shut the other team out. They did and so won the game. It was a really weird format I hadn't seen in almost 50 years of watching the game. Trust the Americans to try to spice things up in odd ways.

[@laughingachilles]

Men definitely have physical advantages and the activists who deny this are just insane. When I was around 14 doing martial arts there was a lady who joined, maybe in her early 30s, and she would always try to kick us very hard during sparring sessions. She would put her full hip into a turning kick, absolutely no attempt to pull it. Even with foot guards that packs a wallop. The point of that sort of sparring was to score a hit rather than knockout your opponent. Anyway one day I got sick and tired of this so me and a few other young lads decided to give it back. She had to quit halfway through the lesson, complained to the instructor about how much force we used and we didn't see her again. The instructor told us he saw what she had been doing, had already told her to use less force and so when he saw us giving it back he just let it happen lol. The thing is, we didn't even go full on, I was still pulling it slightly because I didn't want to actually harm her. Even as 14 year old boys we could take more impact and give out more force than most women.

​@@philmckenna5709 She just got what she had been trying to hand out. I think she had a problem with men, although I noticed she didn't do this to the adult men in the class. It was only the boys she would try it with. I think she knew an adult man would quickly raise the issue but boys are less likely to think they should say something. I bet she didn't learn anything from the situation. She probably went and found another class where she could do the same thing. I imagine in todays world she would try and sue the instructor or create a social media campaign about the violence of men against women. Making sure to skip over her own attempts to kick young kids as hard as she could. The bitch didn't even hold back when fighting the 8 to 12 year olds. They were usually separate but sometimes we would have them join the adults and older members for some fun sparring and to make them feel like a real part of the club and not just the kiddy class. Everyone would hold back obviously but she just ploughed kicks into them. I don't remember a single boy complaining despite the fact it must have hurt even with pads. I think that was when the instructor must have had a word with her as he definitely noticed. If that happened today I would kick her with everything I had and claim I slipped.

Wrexham beat Say Word FC 8-1 too, but they played a lot harder against Say Word than they did against the women. Say Word FC themselves beat the women 5-0, and were fairly dominant in that game.

The moment a woman says: "Women shouldn't be paid equal to men." Tell her: "You were raised right."

[@michaelrudolph7003]

Well, I'd say that depends on two relevant potential factors. Ability and/or monetizable interest. So if women were on par with men at some kind of activity, then they certain deserve anything men would get and if they are superior, then probably more. Also, pay for play also depends on how monetizable the presentation of the activity is. Conceivably the WNBA could be more popular, more valuable and more profitable than the NBA. All it would take is people deciding that they liked it more. Maybe they would have to change the rules or whatever, but men's college basketball is very popular and those players aren't nearly as good as players in the NBA. If for some reason the quality of play of the WNBA was the same and there was just way more interest and money spent by the public on it, they those women would very likely be paid more. I don't think saying the reason women in sports are paid less is inherently because they are female its just that from a skill and ability standpoint in sports, men are almost universally better and thus there is more interest in the greater talent level than the lower. So it's actually the skill level and the popularity that are the issue first and foremost and those might be because of sex in specific circumstances. But again, all it takes is popularity and willingness of masses to spend money on something for it to be valuable to play in not whether you are a man or woman.

In the 3 games the US women played they were outscored 24-1 2 games were all men and One a mixed men/women. That game happened to be the game they scored there only goal.

[@reggiedixon2]

Yet again, this "Wrexham" team was nothing to do with the team that just got promoted to the fourth tier of English football. Lee Trundle who scored 4 was a good player in his time but he is 46 now. To put this into context, if this group of "Wrexham" players were up against a team of current English Premier League players, they would be on the wrong end of at least 12-0, it all comes down to how hard the professionals wanted to try.

Football League Two (often referred to as League Two for short or Sky Bet League 2 for sponsorship reasons) is the third-highest division of the English Football League (EFL) and fourth-highest division overall in the English football league system. Football League Two was introduced for the 2004-05 season.

[@BikersDoItSittingDown]

Hi Amanda, I have not seen anyone answer your league 2 question. There are 4 leagues and league 2 is the bottom league. The teams in this league are no where as good as the premiership league. I imagine if you had one of the top teams playing this match at 100%, the goals would be much more than doubled!

[@eamonnclabby7067]

Sometimes us Division 2 teams ( Tranmere Rovers) trounce Premiership teams in the FA cup...😅😅😅...as Everton, Southampton , West Ham and Leeds can testify...

[@BikersDoItSittingDown]

@@eamonnclabby7067 do you disagree that if they played a premiership club playing at 100%, the score would be dramatically higher?

[@philiprice7875]

oh and we have somthing that is unheard of in the USA it is called "relegation" where if you are bad you get to play next year in a lower league

what nobody mention is that The Wrexham team actually played almost no tactical football whatsoever, the winger/striker just dribble the ball and shot every time they were close to the penalty box

If its the boys team in blue and the girls in white, its Actas v Ais , both teams are students at the same uni. But go find the clip. I'd love to see it :)

[@nigelleyland166]

Amanda, I taught football for Middlesbrough FC (at the time a Premier Leage club and Euro cup qualifiers) A few years back, it was a dads and lads class, although we also accepted mams and daughters too. Those kids were under 10 yrs old and they could do all the tricks the greats did, the Cruyff turn, the Maridona shuffle, the Gascoin flick and even the Ronaldinho flick. They did it against thier fathers who were at least twice their size. I would pit those kids against any top class female team regardless of the kids gender, simply because they have had the advantage of the training. The US keeper in this match was by far the best female on the pitch as recognised by the mens team. There is no shame for the women losing by however many, it simply displays the difference twixt male and female sport at adult level and cements the fact that transgender females have an advantage they do not deserve.

[@Writeous0ne]

interesting did you coach joanathan woodgate by any chance, my PE teacher coached him in the 90s at youth level

[@Muckylittleme]

The game was less than 1/4 the length of a normal game and played on a smaller field and with smaller goals (Theoretically making it harder to score) Wrexham were not even in the football league tier system until last season when they won promotion to league 2 which is the fourth tier of professional English football. The Wrexham "team" that played this game were made up of older retired players and reserve team and youth team players so nothing like the best even Wrexham have to offer and they were playing kindly and not using physicality. To put it into perspective the team that beat he women 12-0 would lose heavily to Wrexham's first team. But it is not as if there is not history to avoid this sort of thing. The US women as world champions played a non professional under 15 boys soccer team (Dallas FC) which with its full men's team would be crushed by even lower tier English teams and they still lost easily while world champions Australia women were beaten 7-o by an under 15 boys team. I think most women understand the biological differences between the sexes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Make a sport out of childbirth for example and see the men suffer! Women are maternal and nurturing by nature, they have not evolved to hunt dangerous animals as the males did. but what is so funny about it is that contemporary feminists spend all their time being misandrists and saying how toxic masculinity is and blaming men for everything ,all while pretending women have those same attributes as men and are equal in every way etc, but for a woman these attributes so hated in men are "empowering" This is not only hypocritically sexist and delusional, it is downright dangerous because we are beginning to see young women believe the Hollywood propaganda and physically attack men or think they can handle men physically and so put themselves in dangerous situations. because they feel invulnerable. And then there is the whole can of worms of men identifying as females and breaking records easily that women had to work their whole life toward. And for the final act of 3rd wave feminist and leftist misogyny we now have men identifying as women punching women in the face for sport. We really have a fallen a long way from the values and morality that made western society the pinnacle of human civilisation. Thank God there are more and more women and young people who are seeing through this nefarious identity politics for what it is, social engineering the family out of existence and making the regime your parent and God.

[@joejoejoejoejoejoe4391]

"women are maternal and nurturing" - almost a million abortion per year in the US, a child is twice as likely to be killed by it's mother than father (that study was done before feminism broke the family unit) and the outcomes of children raised by single father's is much better than the outcomes of single mothers. Apart from that, I agree with everything you said.

[@soeradjnarain341]

Even a training match for Wrexham is harder. These guys weren't even running at full pace. Just strolling and scoring.. BEST women's team comparable with 5th or 4th devision men's team at best..😂

[@BCNeil]

I feel bad for the team that was left out of the tournament so the ladies could play.

[@neillchippett655]

Maybe they could take Wrexham on again in a Flower Arranging compettion.

[@rael1999]

Funny I never saw this reported on the BBC's main football page...Lol I wonder why? 12-0 nil and they didn't even play 40 minutes and the Wrexham side had a 46 year old retired dude in there and when you watch they don't even look to be getting out of second gear. And Rapinoe thought women should be paid the same as men for the World Cup....Absolutely laughable ! That's a bit like a pub band expecting to be paid the same as Queen for live gigs !

It was a mix of former retired Wrexham and current Wrexham players. Wrexham are a Welsh team currently playing in the English League 2, as of 4.8.2023, after winning promotion from the English National League 2022/23 season. Wrexham FC are owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

[@richardjames7905]

Wrexham were newly promoted back into the lowest division of the English football league having topped their league with 111 points out of 46 games and having scored 116 goals.

[@raistormrs]

Many european Clubs have these like, Charity Teams, where former Players show up for special Events and such, sometimes accompanied by Players from a youth Academy or from a 2nd Squad, depends, but this Wrexham team was not the actual League Team. i can't even imagine those Girls defending against Mullin or Palmer... 😅

[@CallumGTFC]

League 2 is the 4th league in england, the lowest professional league in descending order Premier league (premiership), championship, league 1, league 2, then below that most teams are semi professional, meaning the players usually work a normal job then play football for a bit of extra money, mainly young lads trying to earn professional contracts, but can be professional players at the end of their career that just want to keep playing as long as they can so play for smaller clubs, 24 clubs(teams) in each league except the premiership which has 20, basically the higher the league the more money the club earns/is worth, premiership teams in the millions so get the cream of the crop from around the world

The fact is men Football is a more skilful faster paste game and it brings in lots of money and fill stadiums with fans so of corse men's pay would be higher the USA women's Football team could not even keep paste with a retired men's Football team lol, I hope this little experiment exercise silence the women with pay issues for good.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

what is their division, if we forget division names and just use like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or A, B, C?

[@TPCDAZ]

What they meant by retired players was these players are all retired players who used to play for Wrexham, Often they get called the Legend teams. So it would be like Michael Jordan playing in a special match for the Chicago Bulls. He's retired but still representing a club he loved and became a legend at. Lee Trundle is 46 years old btw

[@benjammin9471]

Tbh it would be more like retired G League basketball players representing the team not the best retired players in the world

[@canebro1]

The guys were definitely not going all out. Every goal looked like a pass, not a shot, as a full power shot would probably injure whomever it hit.

[@TheVagolfer]

The sycophantic announcers are annoying. They were not giving the women's goalie "respect", they were being polite, that's all.

[@betolov]

misleading; the team that played in the charity match was not the official US women’s team that has been number one in the world for the past six years. The US team was actually made up of former players, while the Wrexham team comprised of a mix of former and still-active players.

[@hcf1956]

The men team displayed “sportsmanship” they refrained from celebrating, hotdogging, and bluster throughout the entire game. Offered the goalie respect and camaraderie during and afterward. Whereas the women’s team behavior were diametrically opposed to the men’s behavior. Enough said. The field play said it all. Without a doubt, the obvious differences between men and women sports is settled. Let’s respect and enjoy the differences.

It's worth noticing many of the women where not playing top level anymore and many had never played national team. The game was part of a tournement "for fun". There was a price of 1 mio to the winner team out of about 30 teams.

[@sebfox2194]

It's also worth noting that many of the men were not playing lower league level anymore, that all of the players on the women's team had supposedly played at a much higher level in women's football than all of the guys had in the men's game, and that the guys were holding back a lot by not shooting with power, not making physical challenges, and not playing with any competitive aggression.
