b/c the level of competition is much higher and spread out in the mens game.
Probably has more to do with how we distribute our athletes. Men's soccer is behind football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and even NASCAR in popularity. The first three sports on the list take the best athletes. Soccer is a sport for teenage girls.
The rest of the world is the opposite. In most countries men's soccer is THE sport and the women's game is an afterthought. They might have cricket or rugby, and basketball is a world game, but the other sports are second fiddle and there's usually only one other sport.

There's quite a bit here I disagree with, but I'll make my response short. We dominate women's soccer for the same reason we dominate most sports except for men's soccer: We're one of the few who actually takes it seriously.
