The Hollandish aren't chopped liver (-:
But women's soccer in the US is a beast. And the women deserve a lot more money from US soccer. The men's professional leagues offer a lot more opportunity. But the national teams are subsidized, and it's a crime considering how the women outdraw the men on TV
But is the draw large enough to give them substantial salaries right away?
Yes, it is, given that the women are earning virtually ALL of the money being made by USA Soccer for their program. They could justifiably switch salaries with the men, if salary is based strictly on performance because the women are subsidizing the men in every way possible. The women's jerseys FLY off the shelves. Every little American girl playing soccer wants one of those jerseys. The men can't give theirs away. They didn't even qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Nobody even knows their names.

If the Men were to win the World Cup, they'd get $500,000 per player. And it would come directly out of the money the women earned.
The World Cup Men's soccer tournament brings in $6 billion in revenue, the World Cup Women's soccer tournament brought in $191 million. That is the reason the pay is so different in the World Cup games.
NWSL has an attendance of over 650,000 and averaging 6,024 per game, the MSL has an attendance of over 7,000,000 and averaging 21,692 per game.

The last Men’s World Cup brought in over $6,000,000,000. The Women’s World Cup brought in $195,000,000. Who should get the highest paycheck if they win it all? Who should get the highest pay for being in the World Cup?
The 1999 Women’s World Cup drew 1,194,000 which was above this year’s World Cup. The men in in 2018 drew 3,031,000. The global World Cup ratings for men are over a billion in viewership, the women hit a record this year of 700 million.
More in paid attendance, more TV viewership, bigger gate receipts, that is why men get paid more.
Now as far as the USMNT, they should disband and save us the embarrassment.
