Lindsay Harris was best for her team and she let 12 goals in. But must have saved another 20. The defense was just no match for the body strength of the men. Any honest observer will note that the Womens FIFA team of the year - i.e the best women in the world, wouldn't win a single game in the EPL.
I honestly think any club team under 15 and most middle school teams in the US would beat them. And we don't really care about soccer. I'm surprised they agree to play u15 teams and participate in these kind of tournaments. It inevitably melts the facade of supremacy that they love to tout when complaining about compensation.
I don't even think it was body strength, primarily; the men just played significantly better soccer in general. The women had no ball control, kept passing the ball to their opponents, or even deflecting into the goal. Strength of course plays a part, but it was mainly a massive skill gap. The men had more skill, confidence, and just did everything smoother and faster.
