The women negotiated same pay, but benefits that the men didn’t get. In losing in round of 16, like the men, the US women made more from US federation) than whichever women’s team wins the entire cup.

Yes, I felt bad for some of them; that mental case put them in a bad position where anything short of winning the whole thing would be thrown in their faces. Should buy us a few years of peace regarding the “unequal pay”, as their championships were used as justification (though they still generate paltry revenue).
