I disagree because the the WNT has had more games of any worth to begin with. If the USMNT made it to the World Cup Final, much less, an Olympics final, viewership would absolutely skullfrick anything the women's team has ever seen.


Hence, why I qualified my statement as... over the past two summers. I didnt choose some random time frame...

that ESPN poll is on the pulse of the fan, as of today... not for all time

Everyone's favorite expert on soccer, Bill Simmons wrote about how he thinks the women would draw a higher rating if two matches went on simultaneously in a recent mailbag, while also shitting on MLS (despite never watching the league).

Shoot. Tottenham is his "favorite" club and he probably couldn't name three of their players. He probably doesn't even know who AVB is.

As TulaneLSU (the worst troll of all-time) believes, the United States cares more about hair regeneration than the USMNT.

That poll needs one other question added in: are you a male or a female. I think that would explain a lot in regards to wanting to watch the men vs women.

I'd watch a Men's friendly before just about any women's match aside from a Final of some sort

Agreed. Winning at the Azteca made much, much happier than I would have been if the USA women had won the World Cup last year.

I would watch the USMNT composed entirely of MLS players against American Samoa on a 1995 hand held portable television over the women in the world cup final
