Although the women’s game is not as skilled as the men’s game, with the exception of a few teams( Brazil and Mexico) the women don’t dive , fake injury or make as many stupid fouls as the men
Less skilled huh?
They no can dunk, but better fundamentals
I'd be careful about saying the women's game isn't as skilled. Is the passing and shooting less accurate? Are they less skilled at marking on defense?
They're not as fast, and they can't jump as high. That is inarguable. But less skilled? I wouldn't be so sure.

You should re read the comment, I think it's satirical.
I'm not seeing that at all. I'm seeing someone mention a disadvantage, followed by an advantage.
What gives you the impression that it's not a genuine statement?
> the women don’t dive , fake injury or make as many stupid fouls as the men
This makes me think its not genuine.
That sentiment has been expressed multiple times in this very comment section. I think it's a common perception of women's football. I doubt everyone is expressing it sarcastically.
Regardless, that doesn't even address the same thing my comment addressed. If someone truly believes women aren't as skilled, they should rethink that.
The us women’s national team has been beaten by a team of 15 year old boys
That is due to athleticism, not skill.
The two are inexorably linked.
You think being a good athlete automatically means you can find a striker's head with a cross? Man, you should tell the Olympic decathletes that, because they're leaving hundreds of millions of dollars on the table!
Way to miss the point.
But if you don’t understand that skills differ between sports and that athleticism enhances them then there’s not much I can do to help.
It is totally genuine
