What is the difference in popularity of football/soccer in Europe and North America for girls?
Because at home in Canada my school (only 600-700 students) can field 2 full lady soccer/football teams and in the summer my town (4000 people) can field at least one full girls team in each age level.
But I came to Europe for a year and joined a team for a couple of months and we only had about 8-9 girls.
I'm just curious...
For girls, it's clearly more popular in North America than in Europe. In Europe,(and indeed all around the world) the guys are crazy about football (soccer) it's the main attraction, the BIG game, whilst in North America its just a minority's sport, way behind basketball, football (american), hockey or baseball.
I guess its considered kind of "girls sport" there in NorthAmerica, while all across Europe is clearly more of a "man's game", girls don't really play football, and few or no attention is paid to women's football. 100.000 people can go and see a CL game, or a big clash between 2 great clubs, or their national team playing the World Cup or the Euro Cup, just like the Superbowl in the U.S, but very very few people would attend a women's match.
That's the way it is.
