Women's soccer is vastly more interesting than men's soccer
It also doesn't hurt that the women's teams in USA and Canada are better than their male counterparts
- The US has one of the most successful women's programs in women's soccer history. The US men in comparison are 20th ranked in FIFA and have yet to win a World Cup. The US Women have 4.
- The Canadian women have a history of being good, having medaled Bronze in the last 2 Olympics, and are playing for a shot at gold tonight. In comparison the men's side has not qualified for a world cup since 1986, and their men are (despite Herdman's best efforts) 70th ranked in FIFA.
That isn't to say I won't watch the men but the women are clearly better in tournaments and group play. I will still root on the USMNT though!
Your argument here is essentially that the field is weaker in Women's soccer, look no further than the discrepancy between the men's and women's sides in South America. I'm not really sure that's an argument for being vastly more interesting but to each their own.
