While the radical left would like everyone to believe that men possess no inherent physical advantage when it comes to sports, that defies all reality, biology and common sense. If you need proof of that – although you shouldn't – take a look at what happened to the Switzerland Women's National Team on Wednesday.
As part of their preparation for the upcoming Euro 2025 tournament, they faced Luzern's U15 boys' team in a friendly match. Yes, U15 stands for "under 15 years old," which means the boys' team comprises players 14 and younger. One might think that adult females – especially the best of the bunch in an entire country – might have a chance against male teenagers who have barely reached puberty.
However, the physical advantage that boys possess over girls was on full display in Wednesday's match. Not only did Luzern beat Switzerland, they demolished them in a 7-1 result. If you're not familiar with soccer, giving up seven goals in a match is … a lot.
This isn't the first time we've seen a professional women's soccer team lose to boys. The U.S. Women's National Team, which was the best women's soccer team in the world at the time, lost to a U15 boys' team from Dallas, Texas back in 2015. Carli Lloyd, a player on that USWNT squad, admitted that the mid-pubescent teenage boys were "bigger, stronger and faster" than the adult professional-soccer-playing women.

Our American Gals make our Military Strong, and they are absolutely necessary, however, they do not HAVE to be everywhere our American Men are, in the Military.
Hey, I specified they were Not Guilty!
Sexy? Those eyebrows alone are cartoonish. Everything about that face is fake.
It was exciting for the fans of the U-15 boys team!
I’m sure these ladies thought the story of the U15 team beating the US women’s team was a lie or a fluke.
I was one of those late bloomers. When I started 10th grade I was 4’ 10”. When I graduated 12th grade less than 3 years later, I was 6’ 02”. Only varsity team I made was wrestling because as I got bigger I could move up in class.
A similar thing happened with the US Woman’s team that won the WORLD CUP or the Olympics.
They played some middle of the pack mens soccer club team and absolutely got smoked. They stopped the match well before it was over because the men were up by so much.
Umm, some men here think extreme makeup looks great, and that the natural look is grotesque. I bet you this woman is naturally pretty, but you would never know because of how much makeup she’s wearing.
Spite? Not from me. She just ought to tone it down a little. She looks like a cartoon character that’s come to life.
The “men” were also 15 years or so old.
Her face is fake, a cartoon character.
I can't disagree with any part of it other than your estimate of the SPEED of male development of ALL 14-to-15 men, which may be less than you believe.
Anyway, women should play men for the challenge and training, however never for a prize.
Men should always limit force when playing women, to what is safe for their bodies to absorb.
Everyone is welcome on the field.
I love my wife’s natural look. She tossed the 3 items she painted on: mascara, mild lipstick, and skin tone (which was hiding her naturally rosy cheeks) 42 years ago.
She can go out the door and into town with minimal prep. And she’s had men compliment her through the years for her natural face. There are men that like the real woman.
Too much makeup, fake eyebrows, fake-ish lips, crazy eyes.
Pass.
Thank you. No need to put all that plaster/plastic on.
Excellent assessment. As someone who has coached and refereed both boys’ and girls’ youth teams through ages 12 to 18 I can attest to the variance in speed and strength. My daughter, who played Div. 1 college and pro, often trained against younger boys’ teams because they offered a more challenging scrimmage test than other girls’ teams in the same age group.
Yes.
Club programs are vastly better than school programs. Assuming unlimited facilities, coaching, etc. — a reasonable assumption, right? — a club system can be as broad as needed at the base to ensure that there is a team for every player and an appropriate competitive level for each team. Anyone who wants to stay in the sport can stay in the sport. Since facilities and coaches are never unlimited, it’s nice if parents can pay a reasonable fee to cover costs, but most clubs will try to scholarship the hardship cases. If a hardship case shows promise, or at least serious interest and a lot of hustle, I’ve seen the parents of other players on the team quietly step up to make it happen.
At the lower rungs, there are rec programs for the kids with two left feet who are playing as a purely social thing. This is fine; it’s a healthy activity and teaches valuable lessons about sportsmanship and fair play. It might even develop into a lifetime sport. The rec players are rarely any good and most have have no serious aspiration to work to get better. This of course frustrates the better athletes, who mature into quite fierce competitors very early.
The competitive kids move up the ladder, eventually reaching the tiered select leagues. So far, so good. Everyone can stay in the game. The late bloomers have time to catch up.
For team sports, the schools are looking to put their best onto the field or floor for interschool competition. The late bloomers get cut in the early years. If they are also playing in a good club program, they may be the best athlete in their class by the time they’re 16 or 17, but the schools will have forced them out of the sport long before that. It’s a stupid waste.
As I am sure you know, the rule in club sports is that gifted athletes can play up, but they can never play down, neither in age nor in class. Clubs protect the late bloomers and give them time to grow. The schools throw them away.
Thanks, I want both Men and Women to inspire each other on the field.
I recall one experienced youth coach who said the difference between girls’ U12 and U13 teams was that U12 was played by big girls and U13 was played by young women. And the difference was night and day.
This was in a competitive travel league. There are still big girls at U13, but they are over in the rec division. Some of them might move over to travel as they mature, but the gap grows with every year that goes by and it gets harder to switch.
Hot crazy matrix score?
Absolutely! We allowed boys and girls to play together recreationally through U-12 but made sure the two were separated at the U-13/14 stage because of the growth spurt.
Girls often retained the same level of foot skills and ball control but speed and strength became markedly different.
That’s when the hormonal nuances of coaching took over as the testosterone level soared in the boys.
