What do you mean by “Federal scholarship aid”? Is that a reference to Pell Grants?

The keeper was a year out from having last played in Europe. She couldn’t land a spot this year and came home (lives in NC where the tournament is based so was easily available). They also grabbed a couple of local Asst coaches from Duke and NC who are in their late 20s to help. My guess is someone got approached to put together a team for TV and whoever that was did not have the sense to check out the basketball version of the tournament, nor to take a look at the other folks being solicited to…

The Wrexham players who played included their starting keeper, a forward, a defender and two mids. Are you saying they all just retired now?

It was a couple coaches and then a bunch of the team members. So yes - lots of the regular Wrexham players.

That’s not true. FIFA is expressly not coed. Though, US Soccer allows for coed play, and so does MLS. Rather of note recently is that the Thompson sisters both played for an MLSNext club in SoCal. (MLSNext is the top youth soccer league in the US for boys)

That would be about what I would expect 19 years ago from a Swiss team. They would be better today of course. A friend's daughter actually played professionally in Switzerland about 5 years ago. She was an okay D1 college player. She went over and played a year and was apparently pretty successful. But - there's no money really, so she came back and went to grad school. Still, a fun resume line forever.

Well - imagine if the team Wrexham played a premier league or la liga team. I actually think they did well in their knock out game by only losing 4-3 to a bunch of mostly ex-MLS guys. It was the first year of this and changes might be made for next year I think the thing that has to be decided is if the tournament can be good for TV without "names" or "gimmicks". The women's team was obviously formed without much thought or any understanding of the competition. Which, I woujld say, is why they g…

Well the keeper played last year in Europe. But, she could not land a place this year and is retired now. Other than that - no one on the team had played a game in 5 or more years. On the other hand, most of the players on the Wrexham team had just finished their season having won their division. Wrexham lost their first knock out game playing against Conrad & Beasley's team. But, they only lost 4-3 which I think was pretty good as most of the Conrad & Beasley guys played much more recently and …

It’s coaches and players from Rob Reynolds’ team which just won their league. It wasn’t some random team. The women were older then the guys. And, with the exception of their keeper. All last played a college or pro game more than 5 years ago. Some more than 10 years ago. The winners were a group of current professional arena league players. Their opposition in the finals was a group of Canadian professional futsol players. It’s fun, but I’m not sure it works for TV. Still - it was just the firs…

Where we are (Midwest) and absent playing MLSNext, you would play year round through u14. Then play high school during the school season and club the rest of the year. A u13 team playing up to u15 then would be “off” during the high school season and pick up after it was over. Of course, maybe the girls likewise played middle school soccer.

My daughter’s teams over the years typically played boys teams. In the big suburban league they played in the top 2 girls teams played the boys but the second division where they would be middle of the pack. Once they hit regional league age (13) it was back to playing girls. They still scrimmaged guy teams from the club at practices, but by u15 the guys played different seasons than the girls.

It’s the coaches and several players from Ryan Reynolds’ team that he owns and which just won the D4 league and is promoted to the D3 league. The teams are divided into 4 team pools like the World Cup. So each team played 3 matches. The top two teams advanced to the single elimination games. Winner take all. $1M prize. Reynolds, I am sure, had the coaches and some players come over and play it for fun. They brought over several starters from the team though. The winners were a team of guys who p…

Yeah - that’s stupid. A big load of crap. Why are more women attending 4 year colleges than men? The answer is simple and well-known. Because the initial and long-term employment opportunities for women with no more than a high school diploma are low paying. For men that is not the situation at all. In fact, young men who could go to college are being inundated with information and opportunities to learn trades and earn decent money immediately. These male dominated positions also do not quickly…

I believe the issue is that women who play for the national team, but are playing overseas (Europe typically but could be elsewhere) rather than for a team in the NWSL, may not have carry over insurances for injuries caused while playing or training for the US national team, or for parental leave. Coverages under overseas insurances for American women players may not always be compatible, or even available in the US. This would allow the US team to provide coverage if needed, and to provide cove…

That is a very bad description of the announcement. What is "the US soccer"? What men's league? What women's league? The announcement has nothing at all to do with a league much less two leagues, and neither the men's national team or the women's national team plays in a "league".

Here's a thought -- learn about the subject then present arguments. There really aren't good ones to support the idea that discrimination against women and girls is okay. But, the USSF is sort of left arguing that those were the bad old days of last year, and, okay right now, but we will change things in the future. And, please do not hold it against us or make us pay for past discrimination. If you do not know who SUM is (hint - Sports United Marketing), then you are not even to the starting li…

The women's team gets zero from all sponsorship and media revenues generated. That money, other than Nike, all goes to SUM which then pays an undisclosed percentage amount to the USSF. The Nike money goes directly to the USSF. So -- if Pepsi wants to sponsor the womens team and is willing to pay say $7 million dollars to be the official soft drink sponsor for just the women's team -- SUM will decline the deal because it gets $8 million from Coke as the sponsor for the mens team, the womens team …

Nope. The women's side certainly would like FIFA to wake up and start promoting the women's game around the world, and there is much they could do to move that along. First and foremost would be to require all countries entering a men's team to also enter a women's team in the women's world cup, and then set some standards for what those teams must have to ensure that it is not just a "show". That would do quite a bit to move progress along. FIFA could also allocate equal funding to development …

Reported by whom? See -- when they sign a contract, they will hold a news conference and maybe even have a signing ceremony. I should note that it is also regularly stated in news reports currently that the men are playing without a contract. Had they done a deal in 2018 to move forward, or in 2019 or even maybe in 2020 (getting late then) the USSF would be in better shape to get through this current self-created fiasco. But -- a new deal for the men would have been problematic in 18, 19 for the…

They haven’t had a contract since December, 2018. Why would you not know that? I guess your name is correct. It’s not a secret. These posts are not actually factual you know. They are just anti-women. “Ha ha the women won’t take the same deal as the men.” “Really? You know the men don’t have a contract?

No -- they are Crystal Palace's team -- they play in the England Div 2 league (and don't do great). Obviously a practice having fun. Bolasie played for Crystal Palace a few years back. There are other snippets from the same practice session out there. It looks to be guys v girls.

Most -- okay all -- P5 schools carry guys on their women's basketball team's roster to use as practice players and to help with Title 9 counts. (Some schools have more guys than girls on their women's team.) To be a practice player you have to be very good. Most are good high school players who want to keep a hand in the game, or guys who are sitting out due to redshirt, grades or transfer issues.

The men do not have a contract. Have not had one since the end of 2018, and, while a rumor, it looks as if the men intend to basically hold up the USSF like it was a back alley stick up if they can qualify for the World Cup. Which, of course, will only put the USSF in a worse spot. In the end -- if the USSF survives the next year -- I suspect they end up with a deal on both sides that looks more like the NFL or MLB deal based on percentages of take, and input/veto rights for media and sponsorshi…

The women's team does not play matches with basically anyone other than a scheduled match against another national team. There is no purpose. The women on the national team are already playing 40-50 games a year. Scrimmaging is not something high level teams -- men or women -- actually do. Why not? First -- and it is obviously important -- there's no money in it. No one is paying to watch so no incentive to risk injuries. Players do not get out of shape because they are already playing 30 games …

Or not. The women’s national team’s contract is up at year end. The men’s team was up in 2018. The problem for the USSF with the men’s side is that the stars are not MLS players and are making good money in Europe. This means the per game money is no big deal to many of them, but endorsements and exposure are a big deal. (Pulisic signed a deal with Puma. That’s going to make for some interesting discussions with the USSF and Nike.). It also means a likely 2 tier system on the men’s national team…

You obviously have no kids who play club soccer. Most of the coaches of the good teams are current or former pro players. My kids' coaches (unless they were really old - meaning ancient like over 40) always did this stuff - particularly with the older guy teams. It was a way to get older kids to listen to them. They wouldn’t do it often, but every now and then to make a point that they are worth listening too. And, to get your A license you actually do need to be able to play a bit. The top coac…

The women have pumped $$$ into the USSF for decades. They are a huge part of the sponsorship money that comes from Nike and others. 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, was anyone interested in the men's side? Half the players in the country are women/girls. Yes that is unique, but that is a huge driver in sponsorship dollars and interest. Moms who played as kids are now buying shoes and making decisions about what programs their kids play for today. In the US it is more of a mom driven spo…

There is no new plan -- or at least there is no new plan that is public yet. The only substantive hint we really have is that the USSF has said that it will not do a new deal with SUM. That frees up the ability to do media and sponsorship deals that benefit both the men and women's sides and yes -- youth soccer too. Does it make up for 25 plus years of discrimination against women and girls? Of course not. But -- at least it starts the process of equalizing things moving forward. The proviso of …

Nope. Didn't happen. But -- an interesting actual fact -- the pictures giving rise to this inane argument (and which discredit it) are of Tanner Tessemenn with various national team players at a kick around. Tessemen made his own US national team debut just recently. And, Tessemenn's recent signing with Venezia threw off 7 figrues in player development money to be paid to his youth clubs -- something that the USSF and MLS do not want happening (other than payments being made to the USSF and MLS …

The men don't subsidize the women. Never have. Rather the reverse actually. And, both national teams subsidize the MLS ownership group -- in large amounts, and have done so for decades. Yes -- the USSF has pushed a ton more money into the men and boys side over the last 25 years at the expense of girls and women. All in an effort to build up professional soccer in the US. Has it worked? Will, the MLS exists. It is, I think, fairly established and probably ranks as a minor league internationally.…

The men haven’t had a contract since 2018. And they will be looking for major changes to their compensation (and a lot more money) if they qualify for the World Cup. Mind you, they will be looking to make more money, and make other major changes anyway, but they will have a much better negotiation position if they qualify for the World Cup first. Now - if you want to equalize the women’s side and the men’s side - given the history - it's a problem, and one the USSF cannot really afford. I would …

It is not really at issue. The USSF changed their entire upper management now and has said they will not renew or extend the deal with MLS. Now - that does not absolve the USSF of 25 years of discrimination, and it does not immediately equalize things now. But it is a start. Now though the USSF has big issues on many fronts. Will it survive? I think not many folks would be sad to see it go. A new organization that does not include MLS as a constituent likely is needed.

The USSF is a non-profit that must comply with America’s non-discrimination laws. They do not get to say - “yeah we can discriminate against women and girls” anymore than General Electric or your local hardware can say that. That puts them in a terrible fix now. Sure they replaced the bad leadership. But that does not cure the problem or compensate for the decades of discrimination. What must the USSF do now? Fund a women’s professional league.

Women’s soccer in the US is still very popular and for the national teams it has been roughly equal until the last few years when the US undertook to sponsor/host the regional international tournaments like the Gold Cup. These types of tournaments bring in decent dollars largely because of the significant appeal outside of the US.

It really is the reverse. The USSF is screwed. The SUM contract expires at the end of 2022. What happens when the value of the sponsorship and media rights for each national team suddenly skyrocket? When Pepsi can sponsor the women’s team and Coke the men’s team and not be tied to also sponsoring MLS? When $25M in sponsorship/media revenue turns into $50M-$60M basically overnight? Again - in my view - the USSF should come clean and let the chips fall where they might. Say it. The prior focus of …

That is simply a lie. Both England’s team receive the same per game pay. 2000 pounds per game. Largely the Men donate their pay, but most of women keep theirs due to the obvious club pay differences. The average women’s club pay for someone on the national team will still be under 150,000 pounds. The average on the men’s side will be about 3,000,000 pounds.

The women have not signed a new contract. Neither have the men signed a contract. The women’s contract expires the end of the year. The men’s expired back in 2018. Now the contract situation for both has changed quite a bit - and not for the better of the USSF position. The big problems for the USSF and these deals are: (1) The deal with SUM is not up until 2022. (2) There is no realistic way to rectify two decades of discrimination

No they don't. It creates a bad set of match ups. For the guys to be about the right size, they would mostly be from a weaker team. Put a weaker team out there and you risk injuries. So, guys are used from time to time in practices if they are really good players, i.e. the types who would already be at a national training center, but that's it really.

You are making the wrong argument. Basically, the women’s US national team players want to make what ever they can make. They do not want to subsidize MLS. They do not want to be restricted on media and sponsorship deals because of MLS.

A. Their numbers are way off. B. They are using FIFA World Cup figures versus US figures. C. They assume that access and effort to revenue generation is not also a big issue.

Except nope. Currently the parties are dealing with class-action status. There is a May trial date. It is not a huge class but likely big enough. The USSF contends the class reps are not reps because they make too much. It is an odd position to take, but so be it. You might see another person or two added as a class rep.

Mostly the argument pertains to historic discrimination by the USSF (which frankly continues today). The USSF supports MLS at the expense of the women’s side. The women’s side wants that to stop, or alternatively, to pay them much more and support the women professional league at the same levels. How does the USSF do this? Let’s assume Pepsi has a new sports drink that they want to target at athletic women. Let’s further assume that Pepsi wants to be a sponsor of the women’s national tram, becau…

NWSL is just doing okay. But then, at the start so did MLS. FIFA provided $50 million in start up funds and USSF provided more, including giving MLS sweetheart deals to make money off the national teams. Those are the issues now.

That’s what the women’s side wants and has been asking for. The problem for the USSF is that if it were to happen several very bad things arise.

Title IX is not gender specific. But it does look to athletic benefits and participation figures as a whole.

The advent of Title IX's application to harrassment and assualt situations arises out of anti-bullying policies and a recognition that LBGT kids were often being harrassed at school.
