Anglo-American Women's Soccer Super Cup Idea
How about a competitive football / soccer trophy between the
champions of the English Women's Super League, and the American National
Women's Soccer League?
There could be a one or two-leg annual game between the
champions of the English and USA women's soccer leagues.
The trophy could be a one leg final, swapping national
location each year, or always being held in the USA, to grow soccer.
The USA and England are massive football markets, and
football superpowers, that both speak English, so this would be a good idea for
a highly competitive football trophy.
There could even be two, or four sides, from each country,
or even all top division teams from each country in the trophy.
There could be a Super Cup formula of one team from each
country or even all top tier teams in a knockout cup, or group stage trophy.
People will talk about travel, but look at the trips already
done in UEFA trophies, and the Australian, Chinese, North American, Russian,
and India sports leagues.
Plus in men’s rugby union, there is league that has teams that compete in a league
involving clubs from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy, and South Africa.
So an Anglo-American Women's Soccer Super Cup could have
games like Manchester Utd V Angel City, North Carolina Courage v Manchester
City, OL Reign v Liverpool, and West Ham United v Portland Thorns.
It would take advantage of the intense historic connection
between England and the USA.
If England to not want to be involved then maybe Scotland
could take part in a Scottish-American Cup with big teams like Glasgow City,
Aberdeen. Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic.
Or other countries could play a Super Cup with the club
teams from the USA. Such as teams from Portugal, Germany, Spain, Italy, France,
Brazil, Australia, Mexico, or Canada.
