UC Berkeley both have M and W... Avg Mens scholarship is $13,726 Avg Womens Scholarship is $15,123 based in state tuition before expenses is $14,170 (good to be an instate student that can live at home to got to Cal). Base out of state tuition is $42,184 before expenses. By expenses I mean room and board not books and transportation to and from home to go see mom and dad. Now these stats may be a year or two old but these are reported stats.

You are smart enough to realize I am talking about college soccer again yes?

What is the contract for people to watch very poor womens soccer in Mexico on TV (it is not on par with NWSL)? Tigres two time champ lost to Dash in the 7th place NWSL team in October of 2 0 1 9 . Now to the town of Monterrey's credit (over the border a bit in Laredo, TX you should go to Taco Palenque the bomb fajitas), 8K fans showed up which is great.
 
$14K for in-state is expensive? Yep. UC Schools set the price. Try being Johnny boy coming from Colorado going to Cal and paying $42K just to study..
college is not inexpensive. Thank good for athletic assistance, educational assistance, grants, and financial assistance. How much is an IVY education? hint in excess of $200k. How much is it if your household income is less than $160K a year?

I was so typing a response that... well my better conscience made me erase. So I will leave it here U16 Albion Boys beat the top 12 International women's teams. The Portland Thorns train behind closed doors against the U15 boys academy team trying to better themselves and lose by 3 goals. But mens soccer is awful. Bruh.

Men and women are different and comparing their sports performance against each other is stupid other than to note they are different. The only true way to do the comparison would be to incorporate total lifetime physical performance, and since women can grow a human, men lose in that comparison.

absolutely. But when saying mens soccer sucks as a blanket statement a comparison can be made. Look I think Mia Hamm was a better soccer player than Landon Donovan based on ability. I also coach only girls teams these days because thereis beauty in their game (younger ages) as opposed to boys the same age who want to run forward and thru walls and score goals. Boys learn possession later in the game. Please know parents can play a role in all this.
I had a tangent but isolation took me way off course and I was in Pluto's rotation.

No, coach...Tigres won that game. And for the most part Liga MX Femenil is a U23 development league with restrictions on older players.
 
You are right.. there was a correction on ProSoccer article. My mistake. but 2time champ v 7th place team is still telling on better soccer. I know you say future v now. get it. but never answered Mexico tv contract. Next question, why did Liga MX Feminal change from only Mexican women to allowing Mexican American women that they once cut? Was it better soccer?

By the way the scorecard shows Dash pulled some of their best players by the 60th minute including their captain Ms. JJ Watts. 4 starters at half when they were up.

The reason for the prohibition on foreign players in Mexico is because Mexico is trying to remedy years of excluding women from the game. If Mexico allowed foreigners from the outset, the league would’ve been full of girls from the US and Europe and Mexican girls would still be excluded. After 3 years the league is starting to open up to foreign players. Trust me, Mexico no longer needs US players.

Tigres still won and dominated. As a matter of fact, after the game attempts were made to recruit Katty Martinez to NWSL. And, Liga MX Femenil is a U23 developmental league mostly with limits on older players. Why so many excuses coach?
 
No excuses. Perspective. Why did Dash pull their starters against the two time LigaMX Champ if the game was so important. They excluded Mex/American players with dual citizenship at the beginning for reference. If they no longer need the players was are Xolos still paying them? What about Tigres? any others? why thin arguments and non-answers to direct questions again. Look you believe LigaMx is the future. Your view. I have watched matches and the soccer is not as good as US teams. Again stating two time champ is only as even as 7th place NWSL and not as good as UCLA. Stanford plays better possession that Cruz Azul and the keepers in US have better technique. My opinion but you are the expert.

UCLA could beat an NWSL team? Seriously?

No that is my point. Tigres owned a second half against reserves. UCLA beats most of LigaMX Feminal teams in my opinion. Cruz Azul in the match I watched was lacking sharpness, defensive marking was full of gaps. Had the team they played passed to the ten and dropped to the eight more often then they would have had more opportunity as Cruz Azul in their defensive third sucked into the 12. When Pumas shot it was without target and at the keeper. Now Pumas had space and possessed better but chance came off shots outside the eighteen which were pushed away and smothered not caught. I am say UCLA is better than Cruz Azul for sure. Pumas was good but not better than NWSL teams.

Remember.... you do not watch college soccer.. you also do not answer questions that you can not answer. I am not an expert and there are many coaches out there that may see your side or my side. It is opinion. I tell you that you see your side because you are within the trees and do not see the forest. The same may be said for me. Until there is true proof we only have thesis. Right now facts outweigh theory. Now that could change but not anytime soon. Again you deflect from college conversation and I jump right into the rabbit hole.

The Xolo’s...we are a regional California team. A team without borders is our philosophy. You make valid arguments so I concede. However, I would say starting with Mexico’s 2005’s and younger you will see Mexico turn a corner. Don’t forget FIFA is also implementing their pilot program in Mexico. Better yet, when ya gonna bring your girls down for a friendly so we can teach you about real tacos and Futbol...Has your team ever ate tacos and played Futbol coach?

definitely not tacos and then soccer. and it better be lengua or tripe just for reference for me. 05s are u14? Is the FIFA pilot similar to DA or is it you suck so go home rules? It now takes a passport and travel neither of which my u12 team has or does a whole lot. Twice a year is good for them. Feel free to convince your fully funded program to come to Vegas. Vegas Cup, Mayors Cup, Players... we have plenty of solid tournaments.

The FIFA pilot is funding for a YNT program with independent FIFA scouts and coaches. Liga MX Femenil is a fully funded developmental women’s league.
