re: Is the US Womens "dominance" only because the WC hasn't been around long?

Because men's soccer has much better setups for developing players through academies. Those cost a lot of money. Women's teams cannot put that much money into youth development because they don't make nearly as much money. The college system is about as well-funded and organized of a system for women's soccer development as you'll find. That's why.

You also have to factor men have better opportunity making more money in basketball, football and baseball here in the states. I'll also add title ix holds back men wanting to play soccer at bigger universities in the south. I could go play for some school that had less people than my hs, or I could just go to the University I wanted to go to, quit playing soccer, and go into the real world.
