Of course we're ready. The 1994 World Cup still has the highest record of attendees and viewers in history.

I would like to yes. It would be a sin for me not to attend if they're playing near my home town. Even if the U. S. won't be playing here, I will still go if there's a match of another big soccer country like Argentina or Uruguay.

[Asker]

I’m in England so which state? Area you in

[KostasKouvalis]

California. They're supposed to have matches in San Francisco and Los Angeles

[Asker]

Which city is closest for you?
Yea L A Has two soccer teams
SAN jose has a soccer stadium too

The stadiums mentioned are online and Wikipedia for example

[KostasKouvalis]

San Francisco. I don't remember which stadium. And yes, I am aware

[Asker]

Is Seattle Washington too far if Seattle soccer stadium is mentioned?

[Asker]

In terms of a road trip there haha

[KostasKouvalis]

I'd be willing to go to Seattle, but would prefer not to

[Asker]

Makes sense

[Asker]

Last input from me
Do you think the country is ready overall for a World Cup if it was to happen now? Or you think in 4 years? More hotels and stuff will be ready for many people visiting USA?

[KostasKouvalis]

In terms of infrastructure, YES

Never watched womens sport to have a say

[MuddyMole]

Noone hates it, but the actual quality of football is undeniably very, very poor - I may as well just go and watch my local men's Sunday league side.

In other sports, things are different.
For example, unlike in football, there's no skill to running a marathon - you just keep putting one foot in front of the other - but people watch for the exciting competition, which is the same regardless of who's competing.

Back in the day, women's tennis used to be far more interesting to watch than the men's, as it involved a lot more variety and finesse, whereas the men just relied on serving aces and hitting powerful shots from the baseline. And then it switched around - the Williams sisters turned the women's game into a very poor quality imitation of the men's game, while great all-court players like Federer made the men's game interesting again.

I watch and play a lot of badminton, and the mixed doubles is by far my favourite discipline (both to play and to watch) because of the interesting dynamic created by having two very different players on each side.
On the other hand, women's doubles is always the least popular discipline with viewers. At a high level, the women can defend almost as well as the men, but their attacking play is much weaker, and so rallies just drag on until someone makes an unforced error. There's little value to gaining the attack, because any time a player is under pressure, they can always just lift the shuttle to the back of the court to get out of trouble. In mens doubles (and even more so in mixed), players fight hard to gain the attack, because it's often decisive - lifting the shuttle usually just results in a barrage of powerful smashes from the man.

Not hate, but criticism is warranted when Women's National Teams want big money while getting beaten by 14 and 15-year-old boys.

They lose to 15-year-old teenage boys. That's all that needs to be said. Boys who are not even in their final form yet. They're just in base form.

Womens' sports gets the same respect as any other second string sports. It's like watching men playing in the semi-pros. It just doesn't interest many sports fans because they only want the see the best of the best compete... the strongest, fastest and most competitive players in any given sports. And that's men.

That's not hate, it's reality.

[AndrésC64]

Generally, when watching sports people like to watch it be done at the highest level. The vast majority of the time, that means watching men. There's no comparison between men's sports and women's sports. If people don't like watching women's sports, so be it. You can't make someone like something that they don't. Soccer in general is simply not popular in the US.

Not many people criticize women’s sports. Most criticisms surround politicization of women’s sports. That’s different and you should understand that.

[LaineyLuiza]

The problem is that womens' football is a different sport to mens football. When women pundits try to claim they understand mens football I remain unconvinced.

[Xoirwinkan]

Women can watch all the women's sports they like, but don't expect men to, unless it's something sexy like beach volleyball. Men's football is just on a completely different level from the women's, no contest.

[Asker]

Of course
What about if they make tickets cheaper? So more attendance?

[Kiran_Yagami]

Women's sports doesn't get hate. What they get is indifference. No one gives a damn about most women's sports. Hate would actually be better. At least hate would imply women's sports are on people's minds. They aren't.

[skilled_jellyfish]

This is something that can't be forced. It either happens organically or it doesn't.

[1User12345]

yeah I'm loaded and the whole world is as you say evil towards women face it eve tempted adam oh I forgot God is a woman forgive for being a showiness' pig

[genericname85]

nothing on earth will "never be criticized or hated".

[TroyDT2]

The only way to accomplish that is to eliminate free thought and free speech.

[Valso]

Why on Earth would anyone hate women's sports? That doesn't make any sense.

[anylolone]

It's impossible for any sport to receive no criticism or hate.

[thorboy]

women don't sell unless they are nude. They know this.

[LimitedBenefits101]

Women's sport is boring hence why is not popular

[NewtoTheSouth]

I prefer men's sports. Don't really watch women's sports.

[Mcarlier84]

Probably not.
