At least if they lose it will be with dignity.
The rest of the world is catching up? You do realize the rest of the world has been playing soccer long before Americans have? I guess they must have already been way ahead of the American men.

American women embraced soccer in college sports as football wasn't a viable option for them. When the American team won the first women's world cup it brought a lot of interest and local league organizing. That's been the foundation of American success. Much in the same way American success in pro tennis in the 70's brought a huge tennis boom. And lately there's been a huge surge in Eastern European interest in tennis as well as success. As well as in boxing. Serena and Venus Williams led to a lot more black American women entering tennis.Absolutely true. But the problem is/was many of those soccer loving countries put nearly 100% of their money behind men’s national teams. Look at what the Jamaican women had to do.

How Close Is The Rest Of The World To Catching The U.S.?
Other countries have put money and resources into their teams, though achievements haven’t been evenly distributed around the globe.fivethirtyeight.com
You are correct in that even though soccer is a #5 sport in America, we have a great youth>high school>college>national pipeline.
So they can watch trans women (men) crush the real women.I'm also blown away that American cities are building stadiums just for women's teams.
