I have a 6yo nephew that plays soccer and that game is just as 'exciting' as the womens team. Dont get me wrong, you can get all pumped up about your sub par league team and say its exciting, but its not top flight soccer.
Womens and Mens soccer is chasms apart like the MLS and the Premiere League. To say 'I like the LA Galaxy, they're so much more exciting to watch than Manchester United' just because LA won its title and ManU finished 5th, is silly on its face.
Soccer is the 5th sport out of 5 in this country for men, so the best and fastest athletes do not play it. In the womens game, it's #1 of what, 3 sports for Women, so naturally the 'best' women athletes play Soccer.

Meh, no offense taken, I just disagree in some ways. Yes, the men's game is faster, no arguing that... But I'm not interested in watching my team play in a game they're not competitive in. So, from SKC playing RSL, or team USA playing COL, I'd rather watch the women's team play Japan.
