the entire country of England, which is only 2.2x the size of Louisiana


Sounds like you need a math lesson.

Louisiana square miles: 51,839
England square miles: 51,328
United Kingdom square miles: 93,628 (added in case you don’t know the difference)

Explain to me how you got to 2.2? You possibly converting kilos to pounds by mistake, easy mistake of course for a Liverpudlian.

I pulled it off of one of the top five results in search in 15 seconds and it seemed reasonable based on what could be the fake news map I saw. I didn't look for results that included the ROI for obvious reasons. Did I pull out Nelson's navigational charts to double check the figures? No.

The point still stands. England is tiny, and still has a very small population to excuse what happened. Wrexham. A team of retired dudes in Wales that nobody visits unless they hike or until they take a wrong turn in Manchester. This wasn't about Louisiana per se, but a point that female soccer talent is nowhere, nowhere close, to male talent, even in the "minor" leagues compared to female Olympic teams. But cheers for nitpicking to addressing the basic issues behind a 12-0 arse kicking.

You are right, however, I should have seen 2.2 and been immediately suspicious because of the Kg/Pound ratio. I should know better.
