How much do the Senior Men’s players make just from their USSF salary?
Like is their some kind of salary associated with it?
Or is it just a bonus per cap?

The salary for the USMNT is more, but it's not guaranteed, whereas the USWNT has players sign contracts with guaranteed salaries.

That's always been my biggest issue with the women's beef. They shout to the mountaintops that they want equal pay, but any and every time they are asked if they are willing to give up the guaranteed money they squirm and give a non-committal answer.

Bama's varsity men's team aint out there running their mouths wanting to be compared to and paid like an NFL franchise either.

So a player like Alex Morgan?
How much do you think she makes just from the USWNT?
I tried googling this but it just gives me what she makes in total a year and I don’t know how much of that is Nike, Volkswagen, Budweiser etc.

I know nothing about how national teams pay. Or the finances of women’s sports

Also, is that “guaranteed contract” tied into playing professionally here?

Morgan is definitely one of the best players in the world, but she’s playing in a professional league based in the US. Is it because it actually is the best? Or she doesn’t wanna leave home?

She played a few years for Lyon, I would assume they’d pay more and are a much better team/club.

Is this wrong?

I'm not 100% sure how it works, but from my understanding, it's basically like the DP rule in MLS.

There's a limit to how many USWNT-signed players you can have on your NWSL roster, but I think the USWNT pays the contract of those players and not the NWSL.

Again, I could be totally wrong here, but from the way I understand it, if you've received a significant amount of call-ups from the USWNT, then your professional contract is paid for by the USSF, not the NWSL, but in addition to that, you get a bonus for every call-up you receive.

For example, Alex Morgan is a USWNT stalwart, so she is under contract by them. She plays for the Orlando Pride, but they don't pay her salary, USSF does. Morgan also gets an additional paycheck for every USWNT call-up she receives.

Whereas, lets say Morgan has some Orlando teammate that is a young up and comer that just got her first call-up for a USWNT friendly. She gets the paycheck for the call-up, but isn't necessarily under contract by the USSF, so Orlando still pays her professional contract.

I hope that makes some sense, I feel like I kind of talked myself in circles.

Makes tons of sense
But i guess the question is, is the NWSL the best women’s professional league?
We all know the MLS is probably on the level of League 2 in England.

We hear all the time about how Lyon has the best players in the world and consistently wins their version of the Champions League.
But is the NWSL better?

Yes

If you have a problem with the US scoring 13 then stop them.

They should try to score as many goals as possible every game.

Either get better or stop wasting your country’s money.

It is not the US women’s soccer teams responsibility to stop scoring. It is your responsibility to stop them.

No

There is a question of sportsmanship whether you like it or not. Our team just played a pei wei soccer team and humiliated them. In most sports, you let off the gas a tad when you have clearly beaten the other team through various means like subbing in players or changing strategy. It didn’t apppesr we did either tonight. I don’t have a big problem with it but it does beg the question of sportsmanship.

ETA that should have read pee wee not pei wei.

Kind of fits considering the opponent.
