Meh. This is what our country is all about these days. Everybody relying on conspiracy theory and "alternative" facts instead of actually educating themselves of the truth. This is South Carolina, after all. I remember growing up and having my mother tell me that when SHE was a girl in school the saying everyone had was "Thank God for Mississippi!", because the state of Mississippi was regularly the only state that kept SC out of last place in public school education, of all 50 states. We're NOT known for pumping out intelligent state citizens. And we were still saying "Thank God for Mississippi!" when I was matriculating through the public school system, 20 years later....

The above friendly scrimmage with the boys took place Tuesday April 4th, 2017. It was a exhibition "match" the USWNT engaged in for the Dallas boys team, which was part of a national youth soccer development program. Two days later, on Thursday April 6, 2017, the USWNT played A REAL MATCH against the Russian National Team. The USWNT won that match 4-0.

Did they give a damn about beating Russia in a legit match? Hell yeah. Did they give a damn about beating teenage kids in a funzies two days prior to the real thing? Of course not.

Here is their REAL match against Russia, two whole days later:

Losses to boys teams are all over the globe, apparently. I just saw this one. I’m not saying that women shouldn’t play it’s just that they play differently from males. So are you saying that the Russian team is better than 15 year old boys? How many of these exhibitions MAY indicate to you that they play differently?

Based on the video above it looked to me the women were playing hard.

Yeah, the women lost to 15 year old boys, and the excuse that women didn't care is lame.

A better point was made at the beginning of the video with revenue brought in and the percentages each team gets from those revenues.
