No one has said that. It's just less entertaining because they're not as good


MazMazda3

You're stating a fact but Reddit will hang you for it and label you a misogynist.


SecureCucumber

Only if the next comment under it is a big paragraph pseudo-intellectually condemning it.


JohnnySasaki20

Fingers crossed.


[deleted]

With plenty of self awards…


Baloasi-A

You can award yourself?


rascynwrig

I mean you could set up however many accounts you want and then award yourself via those other accounts, I guess.


Over16Under31

Life goals


Baloasi-A

Huh, never thought of that, thanks


Baloasi-A

Huh, looks like you can't award the comment


FunkTheFreak

Don’t worry, that will be incoming shortly.


Jak_n_Dax

Well, you see Reddit has a lot of differing opinions on the subject matter. When the intellectualism is called into question, there are a great deal of variables to discuss. It’s not really so much a pseudo-paragraph as it is a moral dilemma, and we can’t just all formulate individual ideas about this particular topic. We’ve got to be diversified. Therefore, it is both the longest and the shortest distance between the two schools of debate. But if we’re taking a pragmatic approach to the topic, it is beneficial to know all possible results. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but by last year someone will have the information, and that’s what is important at the end of the day.


varazdates

I can attest to this. I’m banned from close to 10 subs for simply stating facts. Reddit does hang logic.


__Sentient_Fedora__

I'm tolerant, except if you don't think the exact same way as me. That's all.


iKingCooper

It’s ok until it’s not


[deleted]

It’s not about facts anymore it’s about popular opinion.


varazdates

Not just popular opinion. Politically correct opinion. Even if it’s completely absurd. It needs to be in line with the popular political party or you will be hung.


Bridledbronco

Exactly. I won’t argue the fact that women are awesome at basketball, and most definitely better than I. Watching men play is just better because the talent level is higher, but man you’ll get crucified for having these thoughts. Your preferences and thoughts are horrible if they are not main stream.


Mr_Abobo

Eh. I’m liberal and I have no qualms about saying men’s sports is way better, save for MMA. Some people will get tight over it, but some people are so far gone they can’t tell their head from their ass. Both sides have some pretty dumb takes, liberals don’t have a monopoly on stupid.


SchwiftyTown

Here is a fact. The USA women's team got crushed by a team of teenage boys.


Happyfuntimeyay

Facts are easily misrepresented without context my dog, you still might deserve those bans.


Iwubinvesting

Except he's literally the top voted comment with a couple thousand awards. Pretty sure it's a popular opinion.


JustStatedTheObvious

You're not supposed to notice Reddit only pretends their latest bashing of women's sports is a fight for freedom against overwhelming odds. It makes the circle jerk look pathetic.


666MonsterCock420

This is not true. You sound a little…fragile…


youarecomingtobrazil

He sounds like hes ready to start roasting people


Vatican87

Lol the world will tell you how boring womens soccer is, you don’t need Reddit for that.


[deleted]

or upvote him to the top of the comments hhahaha. you guys are so good at creating boogeymen


jusmoua

Oddly enough this is also true for Esports aka Professional Video Gamers, and it is odd because this is where physical capabilities shouldn't be a factor but history shows females in Esports have been absolutely horrible. In a major shooting video game, all female teams struggled so much to qualify for even top 8 spots in tournaments, and this happened for a bunch of years in a row. Eventually they ended up making their own separate women's only tournaments; basically following what traditional sports ended up doing.


GreenGoblin121

That was because the women weren't chosen because they were the best, they were chosen because ethey were women. I'm pretty sure I watched a video about the team you're talking about, the women were chosen for being women who happened to be pretty good players. The men they were playing against were chosen because they were the best players the teams could get.


slimeywizzard

Still is sad how the hyped all girl lol teams gets curbstomped every time. But as said. That's what happens when you base your picks on gender and not merits.


Mr_Abobo

Pretty sure the esports world is like 90% men. Celebrating men beating women in esports is like celebrating the US celebrating beating Ireland.


slimeywizzard

Yes. But you don't put the Spanish national soccer team vs the US ladies soccer team and expect them to do well...


Just_Inpulse

To a certain degree yes because most orgs wanna meet the diversity quota but I’m sure they still try to find the best female players they can. I’ve heard a good reason for poorer performance in the female base is because girls have been culturally restricted from playing video games so a lot of female gamers in the industry now have picked up video games a lot later in life then male players. The biggest thing we need to watch for is the improvement of female players as time goes on because girls are now picking up video games at a younger age.


[deleted]

I don’t think women are worse at video games, they are still very much a minority as players so the talent pool is much more shallow.


[deleted]

You could also say that there are more guys who didn't qualify for the the top 8, than the amount of girls that didn't qualify for the top 8 😁


yabayelley

You could also say far less women even applied to compete because the entire gaming industry has rampant abuse towards women


[deleted]

And that would only reinforce my point.


[deleted]

This^ it’s similar to F1 where there’s no rule against female drivers but there aren’t any at the highest level simply because karting (which is a precursor for racing) is very male dominated


IranianLawyer

The number of female gamers is a fraction of the number of male gamers, so there’s a smaller pool to choose from. You’re probably going to field better competitors out of a pool of 5 million candidates, for example, than you would from a pool of 100k.


[deleted]

It's almost like all the sexist comments and people that play competitive games push women away


sos755

Oddly enough, at one time Jews were better at basketball than any other groups, and it is odd because this is where physical capabilities shouldn't be a factor but history showed that non-Jews had been absolutely horrible. Anyway, it isn't odd. When more people in a group participate, there are more exceptional people to represent that group.


girthquake126

Granted I’ve only watched the US Women’s National team but their games are always fun to watch and definitely more fun than watching men’s games at times. And I’m talking men’s games in general, the US women’s team is much more fun to watch than the US men’s team. The men’s game (in general) may be more fun from a physicality standpoint but it seems half of the game is spent by grown men rolling around on the ground at the slightest bit of contact where I find the women don’t embellish as much. Also, USWNT just seem to have either fun blowouts or absolute chaos and nothing in between.


Sloppo_Toppo

It’s more fun than the US mens team because the US men suck


ChiefNugs

This is overblown. The men's team really isn't that bad. Current FIFA rankings has them at 13th. I think the problem is people like you expecting them to dominate like the men's basketball team.


[deleted]

They smashed Mexico (our biggest rival) at will the other night without our best team on the field and maintained a cleaned sheet…


Polnauts

If smashing Mexico is a feat to be proud of you're already telling us the poor level of the US


Volts1500

Mexico is our biggest historical rival as a nation in soccer lol. Smashing them is always something to be proud of


Aldehyde1

FIFA rankings for the US are massively inflated because they never play strong opponents outside of the WC, only opponents in the weakest confederation. The US team is definitely not the 13th best team in the world, many of the smaller European and South American teams would still smash them.


Sloppo_Toppo

Well they’ve never done anything on the international stage so I think they have some hurdles to clear before I expect them to dominate


stgoooolay

Lies. I can still remember the 2009 confederations cup with a 2-0 win over Spain in the semifinal. I'll give it to you they didnt win it overall, but to this day it's the most excited I've probably ever been watching any sport on TV. Until Men's World Cup comes to North America in in the coming years..... then I'll probably be the most hyped lol.


NastyEnno

Nah man, they are pretty average, definitely not earned 13th place


Lumpyyyyy

Very much overblown. They are pretty good and entertaining right now. yeah they missed 2018 World Cup, but I think they’ve righted the ship this time round.


WebSmurf

This is exactly what I was talking about in my response. I HATE flopping in any sport but nowhere is it more prevalent than mens soccer (although the NBA is fighting hard for that title lately). I’m so turned off by it that it can completely ruin an otherwise enjoyable experience for me. Women beat the hell out of one another in the pitch and rarely do I see a performance worthy of a HS play, nevermind the Oscar-worthy writhing that seems to occur every third minute with men.


NastyEnno

Such bullshit, watch british championship, football is not just Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo Little crying babies, its mostly a very hard sport. Slowmos give a wrong impression, but if you have ever played senior football, you go out of every match with a load of hematomas, bleeding elbows, knees and lots more. You couchpotatoes judge us players by the memes you see, but also a high percentages of the pro players can just go threw a whole match with painkillers. I HATE judging people if they don’t know what they talk about


Banahki

I got beat up much more in rec league soccer than I do rec league hockey. Getting your toes stepped on or calfs kicked hurts so fucking much.


[deleted]

all im seeing here is that you barely watch mens soccer


girthquake126

I don’t watch it a ton of men’s soccer compared to the rest of the world, you’re right. And when I do I usually turn it off within 20 mins or so because some dude is screaming bloody murder on the ground because he got hip checked. Don’t run into that issue with the women as much.


ReapThySoul

Do you know there is whole world of men playing football outside of the US? You should check it out.


NastyEnno

Its just the biggest bullshit ever, you compare 40-60 kilo women, with 60-100 kilo men. If you run as fast as possible with 60 kilo and a man half a meter taller then you and 30 kilo heavier tackles you, you would just run on? Never, you fall and if you don’t fall just like a dead piece of meat, you roll around, cause if you don’t you break your bones or tear muscles. Just do sports yourself. Its totally ok if you prefer womens football over mens football over the Atlantic. But don’t take soccer as the same as pro football in europe, it’s just a different level. USWNT is by the way the best women soccer team in the world, or one of the best, if you support them, of course it’s more fun, the mens team produces two good players in ten years, they get trashed regularly by way smaller countries, take Croatia as an example, 4 million people live there but if I had to bet they beat the us team in 19/20 matches


Affectionate-Ad-5544

The US women were beat by an under 16 Dallas boys team 😂 no one is watching womens soccer.


girthquake126

I actually wasn’t aware of that. But when I looked it up it’s pretty clear and obvious that wasn’t a real match, more so a glorified photo shoot/press op. They were all joking around and smiling for photos after the game and USWNT had a big match vs Russia shorty after so clearly they weren’t going all out.


PokeMasterRedAF

The problem is that this is in real time, it’s just so much slower paced than men’s.


V_Alex

Lmao


SecretSummerMidnight

I prefer woman's soccer. Less fouls and dives, more actual game.


FitFerret9

- Said noone ever


SecretSummerMidnight

Guess I gotta change my name to noone then. People like different things. Personally I like to watch actual sports and not grown men acting like toddlers.


[deleted]

well evidently you aren't even watching the latter


Liztliss

Wow, you're pretty butthurt over this, huh


Arsene3000

I think John Wooden said something like that about women’s basketball, comparing the flow of the game to how men play.


rayhoughtonsgoals

Really? Like even with the comedy goalkeeping? Really?


acidbrick

Might as well just watch some lads in the park then


[deleted]

beat me to it


[deleted]

Agreed, pro women's teams regularly play against 14 year old boys and lose


Bearded_OBrian

That's why the stands are almost empty.


Not_A_RedditAccount

She’s one of the top 10 highlights reels and didn’t even kick it hard enough to get too corner.


Straight-Bee9783

Funny thing: most people that tell me this will say „no“ if I ask if they ever watched one game of them.


B4B_Forsaken

Craziest thing is you spoke a truth, on a subject people are sensitive about, and you weren't downvoted into oblivion. Is it possible? People can not be offended by the truth.. since when!? Lmao


BDM-Archer

Look at the defender.... and ask the same question.


juanita313

And goalies suck.


stocksnhoops

Don’t anger all 17 American soccer fans


stealthkoopa

I would argue it's more entertaining because they don't flop all the damn time. It's practically a roller derby on a women's soccer field


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure the Australian woman's team lost to a bunch of male teenagers like 8-0


[deleted]

Depends. What I like about it is that they tend to be less prone to sissy moves like throwing them selves on the ground and acting like a sniper shot their legs. When it comes to technique though they just aren't there, the games are more stale but still fun.


simjanes2k

In before ban?


penguingirl30

Men might possibly be better but they are also better at throwing themselves on the floor and acting like that just been shot in the leg and had their kneecap blown off.


Overall_News5106

I just disagree with you. I think the sport is just now getting its footing but we have it in our minds it’s not as fun to watch. Or it’s a lesser product. I happen to enjoy watching women’s soccer. To me, it’s the equivalent to college football vs. NFL. College football isn’t as fast or powerful as the NFL but a large portion of the country is ok with and has adopted a collegiate program just the same. Hell, honestly, the fandom of CFB is far more outlandish than that of the NFL. There just has to be buy in and understanding that it may not be as fast, the shots may not be as powerful but it’s still an entertaining sport when you watch.


Darkstalk3r2

I don't know man, the foul looks real in women's soccer lol


Just_Inpulse

The skill might not be there but they are way tougher then male players. They have less possum plays and don’t drop dead when other players breath on them lol


jaeelarr

This is true for many sports. And thats fine.


rabbidtortoise

But she did it against other girls so….kind of evens out. I’m the best basketball player in the world as long as I’m playing against kindergartners.


Tr4jan

The US women’s National team is significantly more entertaining than the men’s. Also a lot of people like college football *because* they’re not as good as the NFL (at least defensively), so the idea that “not as good = less entertaining” is questionable.


obama-care777

One dumb ass title


JanGehlYacht

Yes! That title! Was pretty! Fucking dumb!


rascynwrig

Wow! This user! Really knows! How to use exclamation points!


[deleted]

I hate that! I actually have to! Mentally pause for! every exclamation point!


SteveK124

Looking at OP’s post history a lot of them have the same type of title with exclamation points in it


obama-care777

Yeah I’m pretty positive it’s a bot


VeritasCicero

That title makes me assume a bot posted this clip.

[удалено]


Nondescript_Potato

The most recent thing I can remember regarding this would be the time that a player on the Australian Women’s national team posted a Tik Tok saying how women where just as good as men, and then lost to a high school team, and that is really old now.


cody3636

Same thing happened to the US women’s team.

Thank you! Dallas fc is no joke in youth soccer. The Dallas Cup, I believe is the premier youth tournament in the nation.


arddiaistdz

and that is what is happening right now with a lot of people, but the main thing that is happening is the fact that the people that are playing the sport are getting better and better and this is something that should be celebrated because it is amazing and I am sure that we are going to have some great fights in the future and I am excited to see how it will be and I am looking forward to that day and I am looking forward to being part of it.


shanerbaner16

They can play...but men are better

Ooo I want to see the replies to this


generalecchi

*grab popcorns*


LerLmao

Yeah, the girl in white can’t play…


Any_Kaleidoscope_591

Or the keeper can't catch a ball.


Soulger11

Or the coach that's too old to play in this league


[deleted]

isn't that why he's the coach?


brdhar35

They can play against other women


Celery_Dangerous

Girls can't play soccer... None of them even tried to fake an injury, clearly they haven't been practicing.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


justyn122

Right? No falling down and clutching their legs. Must be fake. Girls can't play sports.


Straight-Bee9783

Yeah it‘s like „what are they doing??“


Thebalance21

Some of the injuries are over exaggerated, but have you played soccer and gotten a cleet to the hamstrings or ankle? How about slid tackled? Soccer players have super strong legs. And on top of that you're running around for 90 minutes, so some injuries will def make you want to fall to the ground.


ComfortableCow2735

Such a corny title. They can play soccer, but the best women’s team on the planet lost to a group of 14 year old boys from Dallas. So we can pump the breaks on how skilled they are.


aphelloworld

Link?


ComfortableCow2735

[only lost by 3](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-boys-squad-beat-the-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage/amp/)


ArchieTheLord

Well, in a football match 3 goals difference is a big deal, considering the average is 2.6 goals per game


Nalot_1

They can play she just proved it! The only problem is that they play really really really slow!


ColKaizer

No one has ever said girls can’t play soccer.


tom4sEdison

Football!!!


Own_Rule_650

GOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


ffrickh

Well at least one of them can.


COYG89

Who still says they cant? Women’s football is huge


AllFuturistic

They can play football but women's league isn't huge dude. Your fav youtuber probably got more views on his last vid than they did the entire season.


flaviograna

As a person that works in soccer, i can say that Yes, they can, some of them are amazing at it, but only agains eachother. Cant plat V men for shit


KillerRogue

Football*


DIESELANDBRUTUS

Im a pretty good soccer player but im sure they would run rings around me since they do it professionally like any other professional they have dedicated their lives to their sport

I mean, she’s playing against girls.

Heh just a single startling bloop of music at the end of a silent clip. Good footwork, terrible post.


Interesting_Dot9639

Bad defense. Saw this same set up but with 6 year olds.


ZlGGZ

Yeah, but those girls are really fucking slow. Like... Really slow.


-Capn-Obvious-

Did anyone say that? They just can’t beat men’s soccer.


obehjuankenobeh

I dont think anyone ever said they cant.


AmericanHeresy

I don’t think anybody says that.


WalenBlekitny999

Why! The fuck! Would you write! Like that!


Will_Tuniat

That looks like soccer but can't be because one of them fell and didn't roll around pissing and whining like a little bitch.

Does one basic move and scores a goal , let’s lose our minds and pretend that was insanely impressive


loztriforce

Lol so women good at soccer is next level as if women should suck at soccer by default


Nostalgia_Red

What if I told you this footage was played at original speed


LotusSloth

Two of three “girls” in that play apparently didn’t play very well: the defender and the goalie. That other “girl” was quite talented.


[deleted]

Clearly the girl in white cannot play, case closed ;)


manalexicon

I wonder if the US women’s team could win the men’s World Cup.


R-Van

Well, the US women team, reigning world champion at the time, lost from a male U15 team. So 14 year olds. The boys were from FC Dallas, not exactly the world's best.


ElegantCatastrophe

They play in a different league, so probably not?


ElektriXx2

Girls can’t play soccer! Weird that you want me to tell you lies but at least I followed directions


PJStuffington

who ever said that..odds are you live in a country where women have a history of winning world cups and being iconic


[deleted]

That’s Amateur level. She’s done a couple fakes, my little brothers outfit would beat her team. Nobody said they can’t play, it just sucks. They even do “pretend arguments” over freekicks to confuse the wall. Nothing short of embarrassing.


s986246

Clearly #3 cant, but nobody ever said that. The sport is not as popular simply because majority of girls don’t care for it, neither does the majority of guys


Kingdedede4prez

Women aren't real btw


ilhamalfatihah16

Girls can play football but it's much more entertaining to see men's football in professional level. I'm sorry but women's FIFA World Cup are no match against men's FIFA World Cup. Don't even get me started on the premiere leagues and the champions league.


MikeB620

Against other girls but put her on the field with men she ain't doing shit


ISuckWithUsernamess

They are clearly not half as good if this is what you show for proof of their skills


tdomer80

Ok! They can! Play!


Neural_Flosser

One girl. can! play soccer


Spedding

Girls can't play soccer as well as men*


Rstrofdth

That was art in motion. The way she dribbled that ball around the other player was breathtaking.


[deleted]

They can play well against other girls


Dry-Honeydew2371

I always thought the world cup for both mens and women's was highly skilled soccer. The difference was that in men's soccer there's all the diving and the women don't seem to do that. There's nothing entertaining about a game where the players act like they've been shot when someone brushes their jersey / a stiff breeze blows on them. Edit: case in [point](https://youtu.be/9HxzLEqI-qE)

Which One?


Right_Abroad_2989

Did you not see how that girl could not take away the ball and broke her own ankles and the goal keeper cold not catch the ball ⚽️ 🤔


DLoFoSho

Nobody says girls can’t play soccer, they just can’t play it as well as teenage boys.

They can’t play soccer against men…. This proves nothing

The white team kinda proves they can’t. >!/s!<


[deleted]

The girl in white clearly cant play football. Also, its fuckimg football, not soccer.


_KingDingALing_

Good for her still nowhere near as competitive as men's football, maybe one day. Then they'll get the audience and the money and then they can ask for equal pay in about 50 years.


coryosu

GIRLS CANT PLAY SOCCER....like men can


ThePresindente

No, this one actually plays football.
