Five of the biggest names on the U.S. women’s national soccer team roster filed a complaint against the U.S. Soccer Federation on Wednesday, demanding equal pay for equal work and calling for an investigation of what they believe to be U.S. Soccer’s discriminatory wage practices.

The complaint comes less than nine months after the women’s team hoisted up the gold trophy at the 2015 World Cup, a feat the men’s team has never accomplished.

well if they are nr 1 in the sports and bring in as much sponsoring, tv money, fans,and viewers, they deserve it ...

If they do then I agree, but I take issue using a single year of revenue.  What is the trend over past decade?  Entertainment and sports are driven by one simple metric, how much money the performer or athlete brings in.  

I will say neither national team should play on poor artificial surface. Grass is not too much to ask for.

Back to the regular season. I don't like International breaks, they are boring. They should just not have them in the season, save 2 or 3 weeks on the season and have a small tourney every year at the end, not only will it give time for injured players to recover over the summer but it'll be good for fans watching...



Hmm, pie.

Finally..

Agreed. Barca was so bad. MSN weren't trying. 



Thankfully Real Madrid won after that completely bullshit disallowed goal from Bale in the 80th minute.
