Congrats on your win and good luck in the next level of competition. (After rereading this, I see my error---not being up on soccer, I missed the point differential aspect)
But, "man's game"?? I seem to recall our college girls play soccer and rugby, but not football.
Just joking of course, I do understand that the fairer sex cannot compete on the same level in soccer. Rugby is definitely a very rough and tumble game, but just not quite as brutal as football even with some "Poofter" padding.
And of course, soccer is in a league by itself.
Some years ago in Atlanta, I passed up a chance to see a World Cup game to go to a Hockey game going on at the same time. See our priorities!
