>MADRID — It is not just the jerseys, the deep blue and the blood red, that make the players instantly recognizable as representatives of Barcelona’s fabled youth system.
>It is the way they play, too, how they have been imbued with the soccer club’s style. It shows in the results this season: 30 games played, 30 games won, a scarcely probable 329 goals scored in a league largely consisting of neighborhood teams from Catalonia.
>There is only one aspect in which this team can be marked as different from all the other Barcelona sides brimming with hopefuls who wear that famous jersey, who dream of following in the footsteps of Xavi Hernández and Gerard Piqué and Andrés Iniesta and all the rest. It is that its roster is made up of girls, and they play in, and dominate, a league populated by boys.
Men spent over 100 years developing the game and women are already on the same level in about 30 years (im marking the womens world cup in the USA during the 90s as the starting point).
By 2030 the best player in the world will be a women and at the very least teams will be mixed. The next Hope Solo will be starting for the USMNT in a real world cup

Until 12 it's fine. After or during puberty of boys however they become obliterated

You should have read the rest of the article, they were playing against nobodies, small ass rural clubs and not youth teams from professional clubs.
Let's have the U12 Barca girls play against the U12 boys and see what happens.
Girls reach puberty 1 or two years before boys so for a short period of time(10-12 years old) girls can be taller and more athletic than boys of the same age.

We hada pretty good girl striker from 9 to 12. She would strike fear into the enemy defense because nobody wanted to be that guy that got scored on by a girl.
This has nothing to do with skill, or physicality, or puberty. The reason that these girls dominate is that they are playing 12 year old boys. A 12 year old boy is not going to try to body a girl, not going to mark her tight on corners. Why? Because those lil niggas are gonna pop boners if they do. You're just becoming sexually aware. It's so fucking awkward.
Even when we were 14 and 15, our JV boys scrimmaged the girls and only won by a few goals because no one wants to press their dick into a girls butt trying to reach around for the ball.

Wait a year or two, even boys from those rural-ass backwater clubs they are winning 10-0 against right now will be at least on their level by then. At 12, the field is even at best for the boys. The Barcelona girls were selected to be an elite team and they recieve the best coaching available, but they'd get dabbed on by the Barcelona U12 boys for sure.
Women will never be as good as men in football, it's simply impossible. However, womens football can still develop a bit. A U12 boys division would not dominate the women's world cup, but a decent U16 team probably would.
Women's football is quite a big thing in Germany, but the gap is still huge. The local women's team plays in the 3rd league, so they're pretty good. And yet, they got dabbed on 16-0 by the same clubs U18 team that plays in the second-lowest division. And believe me, the boys didn't even play seriously. After the 5th goal, they went for nutmegs and so on. After the 10th, they stopped caring and only put it in when they really had to.
Women should play football whenever they like and they should be respected for their efforts. But why can't we just admit that men are physically superior? Why do newspapers and other media have to search for such meme examples in order to show women are as good as men, which they clearly are not? All this "equal play, equal pay" shit is getting on my nerves, there is no equal play. And nothing is wrong with that.

If they are so good before turning 12 why all the world cup winners are +15 years olds?
