In 2015 USA won the most watched game in history, the world cup final against Japan. It's not fair for women to be the top team in the world and their pay be increasingly low compared to men. In 2014 when Germany won the FIFA world cup, ¨they awarded them 35$ million but a year later when the US women's team won the world cup Fifa only awarded them with 2$ Million.¨ It is not fair for women, if a men's team loses they still get payed the same whether they win or not but it's different for women, they sign a salary contract.
