The World Cup kicks off Friday in France, and the defending champion U.S. Women's Soccer Team faces off-the-field challenges and a tougher field than ever

As the defending World Cup champion, the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team naturally carries pressure into the 2019 tournament that begins in France on Friday. But the spotlight on this team is even more glaring than that.

The U.S. women shoulder their country’s entire soccer hopes thanks to the U.S. Men’s Team failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. They also face the threat of rapidly improving teams in Europe that could end their dominance of the sport. And they’re in the middle of a distracting battle against the U.S. Soccer...

Win the crowd, win the sponsors. It's just impossible to compete with their male counterparts. It's like male models making equal pay as the high end Victoria Secret's models. Female models create more company profit than the males counterpart. That's all I had to say about that.

Equal pay for equal play: let the women play against the men and tell me if they deserve the same money. The US women's team has been beaten before by high school boys.

Some team will field a bunch of trans women, and that will be that.

Their fight is wrong: I believe in equal pay BUT NOT IN SPORTS! It’s about eyeballs! How can a subsidised league deserve equal pay? Where are women and girls watching to support women athletes. serenawilliams is paid because she brings sponsors, BECAUSE she brings audience!

Dude, if they want to earn as much as the Messis, Naymars, and Pogbas of the world, deliver the sponsors, and viewers that they do. Spoiler: that won't happen in a 100 years.

I hope US team loses. These entitled brats don’t even respect the presidency of their own country.

Soccer is garbage. The Wage gap is a myth proffered by bitter failed Marxists who want to work half as hard and receive the same pay as those who toil 80 hours+ per week. Next.

So you’re saying the Mexican women weren’t tough? Sexist much....?

They have become radical left wing activists. They ruined the sport.
