So back to this Women's soccer vs Men's soccer debate

I bring you this
You have one of the last 8 sides from the WC getting smashed by U-15 boys in a country where men's football is not that good.
quote:
Australia's national women's soccer team have suffered a devastating defeat in the lead up to the Rio Olympics - going down 7-0 to the Newcastle Jets under-15 boys side.
What is particularly concerning for the Matildas is that despite resting some regulars, they were still able to field experienced international stars including former AFC player of the year Katrina Gorry.
Despite the embarrassing defeat on Wednesday night at Valentine Sports Park in Newcastle, the Australian team will travel to Brazil as one of the gold medal favourites.
quote:
While the Matildas played with a rotating squad, there is no denying losing to a team of school boys is far from ideal preparation for the world's fifth ranked team in their quest for Olympic gold at Rio.
Assistant Matildas coach Gary van Egmond was as surprised as anyone about the result admitting his side were outplayed.
'To be honest we didn't expect that,' Egmond told the Huffington Post Australia.
'The Jets boys were very good, all credit to them, they moved the ball around very well and were excellent all night.'
quote:
It may not be the first time that the Australian team have suffered a heavy defeat against school boys with claims that they were 'smashed' by an under 16 Sydney FC team last year circulating.

What debate? I don't think anyone would ever argue the quality of the products are comparable.

Bored today? There isn't a debate.
But we are really interested in your findings regarding men's and women's basketball.

Didn't the US Women's team get beat a few years ago in a tune up against a high school team from Colorado? I remember that story only because the US coach made the boys team play down a man and they still ended up beating them

The new national team coach Pia Sundhage, who returned home last year after taking charge of the US team for several years, decided to let her players tackle the male youth team for Stockholm football club AIK.
Within 30 minutes, the boys had plucked one goal from the women, despite Sundhage asking the AIK under-17 team to take out one of its defenders and play with only 10 players on the field, reports the tabloid Aftonbladet.
"I wasn't told about that until after the game," national team defender Sara Thunebro told the newspaper.
"We had our hands full during the game."

The AIK boys ending beating their older, female colleagues 3-0.

This is something we all know but are not supposed to talk about.
I just hope they got equal pay. They worked just as hard.

When i was with the Dynamo Academy, our under 14s used to beat the Dash in Dash preseason friendlies anywhere from 4 to 8 to nothing.

To be fair, the United States is arguably the best women's soccer league by a wide margin, and our U-16 boys, in a country where our best male athletes play other sports, routinely smash the USWNT out in the Carson, California training facility. The athletic separation when males enter puberty is pretty staggering, even if the technical skill is lacking.

True, but this does bring to mind something a foreigner told me.
"I don't understand college football. You just said that every NFL team, even the worst, would destroy the national champion, so why does anyone want to watch inferior football?"
