I actually don't know why the men's team brings in more money. They have Dest, Pulisic, McKennie, and they're sorta big names, but they're not good as a team. They're always overrated because CONCACAF is so weak, they didn't even qualify for the 2018 world cup, lost in the 1st knockout stage in the last world cup (2022).

They bought into their own hype and forgot to bring it for the actual tournament. Alex Morgan had a Michelob ultra commercial where they handed her a golden boot before the tournament even started. How many goals did she score again? Oh that's right, zero. One of our best strikers was left out of the squad so that the big name political queen who was clearly washed could get 10 minutes at the end of each game and provide zero impact and actually a net negative. Rapinoe was subbed on late against Sweden and gave the ball away about 7 times in 20 minutes and then missed the game winning pk. The coach deserves the most blame for allowing the team to come in a severely weakened state, bullied by the politics that don't actually win games. We need a new coach who picks the best players and not the players with the most commercial deals.

[@jakecollin5499]

I agree but I don't think anyone gets hired for this team without them agreeing with all the politics.

[@atkascha]

from a pure sports perspective... Morgan is 34. Rapinoe is 38. Others are over 30. For any pro athlete, that's ""old"", particularly when they're playing 60+ minutes per game. The US has relied on the NCAA system to produce elite level women soccer players for too long. The rest of the world caught up, and adopted the soccer player development models in the better soccer playing countries. If you're good, you're pro at 18, that's it. They also put about 100x more money into it than the US does. Every Premier League team has a women's team, even the Championship and League 1 do, that's fully funded, uses the same facilities. MLS owners actively don't want to do that, even though smaller teams Europe can afford to do it.

The 1999 USWNT created one of the most marketable teams in US sports history. It wasn't talent, or lack of, and improving competition that ruined the product these last few years. Brandi Chastain probably wants to burn her bra.

this world cup team is across the board better athletes and more talented soccer wise then 1999 team...those ladies were also talented but most of the world teams they played were filled with weekend players who had real jobs being school teachers and accountants during the week...

[@MySonsFather74]

Rapinoe has almost singlehandedly destroyed the enormous amount of good will the USWNT had built since the teams of the 90's, destroying all the hard work of legends like Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Abby Wambach and Carli Lloyd, all who came before her and made the team what it once was...arguably the most popular US national team since the Dream Team. Rapinoe retires leaving the USWNT in ruin, by her own doing. That is her legacy.

You could see this coming a mile away based on how they slacked off in the Tokyo Olympic games in 2021. They are SORLEY missing Carli Lloyd and Abby Wambach. They have talent, but they have no leadership and their focus was on everything other than winning. They literally needed Herb Brooks to rise from the dead to remind them "You don't have enough talent to win in talent alone!

Lets just get real, there's a bunch of younger ladies (and gents too), on the US team, that could be a force for the US team but they get no love or much playing time because they're young and don't have the rep that the more experienced players do. I guess that's true for any sport, right? But my point is, the old gotta go and the young gotta get their shot.

[@wardy4903]

Coach made an amateur mistake sticking with washed veterans instead of utilizing USAs VAST pool of young talent. One of the young players, smith, was the only offensive force we had all tournament. Could've used more players like her. Coach has to go. 2 tournaments in a row ending way too early for a supposed #1 team in the world.

They scored 3 against hapless Vietnam who gave up 7 to the Netherlands. After that 1 goal in three games. This was a pathetic showing by a team that was more worried about social justice than soccer. They should definitely get paid for their performance this year. Good riddance to Rapinoe. She overstayed her welcome. Her skills have diminished, she didn’t belong on the field. Then to laugh when you miss a free kick is beyond the pale.

[@curtowen89]

[@claybonc]

I dont think ignoring how basic economics works is considered politics. This team only cared about getting more money, then as soon as they got it they felt as if they no longer needed to work to win. It has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with an entitled, arrogant team led by one of the most entitled and arrogant players in all of the sport, mens and womens.

[@atkascha]

If you look at the comments section, its a bunch of misogynists' happy that they lost. A player holds out in the NFL for more money, and everyone says "get that bag!". Some women, who've won 2 WC (when the men didn't even qualify for the 2018 WC, lost to Canada and Panama last month, and were knocked out in the 1st KO stage last year) say "we want more money, we win all the time!"... and men seethe. Cringey, and scary

[@claybonc]

@@atkascha The problem is money isnt created out of thin air and most other countries do not watch the womens soccer teams. Every country watches the mens teams, therefore they get more money. Trophies do not equal more money. Viewers equal more money. Shirt sales equals more money. The only reason we support the womens team so much in the US is because they actually win and we all come together to support our team winning. Other countries dont really care and dont really watch, therefore less money.

[@Grtgooglymoogly1]

@@atkaschait’s because there’s actually a “bag” to get. When the organization doesn’t make money, how pray tell does one go about getting more of that lack of money? You ever receive a raise from a company that doesn’t make any money? Even if you are the best on the planet, no chance you can get more of the non existent money.

That's what she did. They won two consecutive World Cups and she started making pushes for what she wanted for her and her team and gave no fucks about giving her opinion on the state of the union. Agree or disagree with her opinions, we still have free speech in this country and she waited until winning two straight World Cups to do it, so I have no issues with it. Regardless, while she played terrible in her last game for the US, she's far from the issue. The coaching and tactics have been atrocious and didn't put anyone in a position to play their best games. Good coaches play to their roster's strengths and Vlatko has not done that AT ALL this entire cycle. His Olympics and World Cup coaching performances were atrocious. Our talent and our stout backline got us this far, not our coaching by any stretch of the imagination. I hope the US left Vlatko at the tarmac in Australia.
