why the title of this post ? For 25 years I hVe been involved in coaching, I have often heard the comment that somehow women's soccer is less legitimate that the men's game.
I found it funny how women's hockey is so celebrated when really only two teams , Canada and US are competitive plus there is no real extensive women's pro league like in soccer or even basketball . The women's game has legitimate pro leagues in various countries , a deep competitive field with many countries playing an attractive quality came and many of the female players becoming bonified stars. People need to stop comparing the men's and women's game and simply accept it as two different sports which have their own audience. Female soccer is a different purer form of the sport without all the diving, faking and time wasting that we see on the men's side. It may not bring out the same type of technical ability orphysical attributes but there is a high quality tactical execution and emotional investment. I have given my entire coaching career to growing the women's game hold my to leave a legacy of successfully having done so. Hopefully players I have coached will give back and become role models for today's younger girls taking up the sport
