Nitpicking but it’s worth mentioning the US women’s soccer team was insanely dominant for most of 2010 -> 2020, Rapinoe, Morgan and gang inspired tons of young girls to get into football, while the men’s never achieved anything
That’s a really good point - especially because soccer in the US is more popular among girls. Less so now, but traditionally more women played soccer in highschool/college than men - who were more drawn to basketball/baseball/football. I was just talking about mens soccer, but womens is a great example.
