College? I'd say yes. Pro? I doubt it. Way fewer women's teams.

I'd say it's be pretty hard to become one of the top 10 players in any sport. There's no guarantees in athletics.

But I'd say it would be easier to produce the next Alex Morgan than the next Christian Pulisic.

On the other hand, if you want to play men's pro soccer you're competing against the entire world. Whereas few countries take women's soccer seriously.

But there's a shite ton of leagues in a shite ton of countries. If you have any talent, you can get on a team somewhere.

The odds for a middle class suburban girl to get a sports scholarship are way higher than a likewise boy.

More college spots available in female soccer, thanks to title 9. A very good male soccer player can find a spot on a college team, but it will almost certainly be a small school.

School sports will end for most after HS. Nothing wrong with that.
