Women's football started much later than men's football. The first World Cup was held in 1990s, and there were only a handful of participating teams, because few countries played women's football at all. In this environment, it is normal for China women's football team to be strong, because there was a sports school system in China at that time, and a large number of professional athletes were selected as samples. It can almost be said that in the 1990s, women's football teams in China were all professional athletes, while women's football teams abroad were mostly fans.
It is common to score 10 goals in the women's world cup. In 2002, the men's soccer team scored 8 goals and 1982 scored 9 goals. From this perspective, the men's soccer team is really not so good. The men's soccer teams that everyone is more optimistic about are generally Argentina, Brazil, Italy and so on. Compared with them, our national football team is simply weak.
Speaking of volleyball, I believe most people's first reaction is women's volleyball, because in most people's eyes, only girls can play volleyball, so it is normal for men's volleyball to be ignored. Finally, volleyball has another special feature. The influence of women's volleyball competition should not be weaker than women's football and women's basketball, at least not lower than women's basketball. But in fact, China women's volleyball team occupied the development space of women's basketball team, while men's volleyball team was occupied by men's basketball team. Because of the special status of women's volleyball, the future of women's volleyball is better than that of women's basketball. In contrast, female athletes usually give priority to volleyball rather than women's basketball. Because basketball is more popular, playing basketball is far more promising than volleyball, so male athletes prefer playing basketball to volleyball when choosing. The women's volleyball team concentrated the essence of female players, thus maintaining its dominant position, while the men's volleyball team was once a strong team, but its performance declined step by step.
