Game day: Texans vs Broncos

I don't think it was a BS response. If a HS boys team can beat the women's national team, I don't think you can state that the women's game is more physical. Sure, if you were to say "relative to how physical women can be," it might be more physical than men's soccer can be "relative to how physical men can be", but in an absolute sense, there isn't a woman's sport that is more physical than the men's version.


I like soccer (have reffed hs mens and womens in the past) but I don't think even in that space that women are more physical. If I had to describe it, I would say they are more aggressive but it isn't anywhere near as physical as the mens game. Front line leagues tend to protect their players a bit more but go watch an amateur game or a game in a league where people are trying to make it to the next level.

1) you actually think that the women’s national team is going to go full throttle on a high school boys team?
2) you think that a response saying which team won or lost refers to physicality?
3) I’ve seen multiple international men and women’s games and believe that the women are more physical and (I agree with you) aggressive.

1 - Why wouldn't they? They play those games to get ready for big time tournaments, if they don't go all out then they aren't real pros.
2 - It absolutely can. And considering high school boys have more physical attributes than the women while the adult women have more acquired skills I'd say physicality was at bare minimum a majority factor.
3 - I've been watching the game at the club and international level intently my whole life and I can tell you with certainty that no one in the world of top flight soccer would agree that the women are more physical. It's a completely ridiculous assertion.
 
Okay, mens soccer, womens soccer.

They both suck equally.... about the only thing worse than watching mens or womens soccer season would be watching a single WNBA game.
