The US has over 5x the population of any other team they play, the women's team should never lose!

I would note that the four most populous countries on the planet: China, India, The USA and Indonesia, all pretty much suck at Men's Soccer.

Correlation does not mean causality.

The US is different from the other 3 in that it does have robust youth soccer programs. So the US could create a dominant Mens team, but the best athletes migrate towards more popular sports as they get older.

I was not the best, but I did play competitive soccer into my 20's. I played on 'select' teams in my teens and when I was 14 I was probably on the best team I ever played on. I would say probably between 50%-60% of that team went on to receive college scholarships and the majority of them were not for soccer.
