Dallas, TX - United States Women’s National Team players allegedly came together to talk about intentionally missing the 2023 World Cup in order to meet the high skill standards of the US Soccer Federation and get paid like the US Men’s National Team.

“If the US Soccer Federation wants us to play to the standard of the United States Men, we are going to have to stop winning as much,” stated one anonymous player. “Clearly all that speed and skill shown by the USMNT lead to enormous success over the years.”

With the United States Men without a championship in any major competition ever, the United States Women reportedly considered giving back their trophies and forfeiting a few tournaments.

“If the argument is that our speed and skill isn’t as good as the men, then we clearly need to forfeit all the World Cups and Olympics going forward and just work on our top speed running in straight line as we continually find ways top lose to our biggest rivals at home. Maybe doing that will put us on equal footing with the US Men.”

For his part, Carlos Cordeiro stated that he didn’t believe the women would do such a thing as he stated, “we don’t believe the women have the same duplicitous skill as men to figure something like that out. Women can’t beat men in a footrace. And a footrace is very important.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the US Women abandon soccer practice for some track time and 100 meter repeats.
