Obviously Title IX gave the US a big jump.

Free college was a nice incentive for families that probably didn’t otherwise care about women’s sports. But if the USWNT teaches us anything it’s that success doesn’t particularly bring in the kind of revenue that men’s teams generate. So despite the ability to home grow good players I think we’ll continue to lose players to teams tied to big clubs. And those countries will likely catch up because of the pay to play restrictions on the overall player pool in the US.
