Pat the Bort: Americans love the best. The women's game, Americans are not only the best, but the perpetual best. They've defined the field. Title IX does not exist in other parts of the world. We often joke that if our men's team was half as good as our women's team, they could be world beaters. And it's all down really to the growth of football in the United States. When this world cup comes here in 2026, it will finish the job that 1994 was meant to do - make America a football loving nation.
