Is the women’s World Cup as popular as the men’s? I’m guessing the men’s world cup has such a vastly larger prize pool because it has a vastly larger advertisement revenue. This is the first year I’ve even heard of the FIFA women’s world cup, is it the first year it has been around? That would certainly explain the popularity difference.
Personally, I’d rather watch women run around in shorts than men… but then again, I’d rather play video games.
