Why does the US have the best women’s soccer team in the world, but when it comes to men the team is just average compared to the rest of the world?

Most countries, sports development is funded by the pro teams and their development teams. Lack of pro women’s teams means lack of funding for developing athletes.
In USA, most sports development is done by high schools and colleges, and because of title IX there must be teams for men and women. Therefore many more opportunities for women in USA.
Soccer is one of worst paying pro sports in USA, so most men with athletic talent are going to choose another sport first.
