Because, as much as they bitch about everything, women in this country have it really well off. Our program is miles ahead because our treatment of women is miles ahead. The athleticism and fitness of our women was on full display during the second half of yesterday's game. That fitness is something that can be coached, trained, and developed. As other nations move their women into more prominence, that gap will quickly erode.
The men around the world are generally all top notch fit, so that's not the difference there. The United States men are missing an innate technical and tactical sense that can't be coached in via drills, etc.
