Would the Scottish Women's League be that strong? I seriously doubt it. W League is probably better quality

You have Erceg, Riley & Bowen in the USWL. Percival in the English Super League. Stott was there before her cancer. Moore plays for Liverpool but they are in the English Women's 2nd tier. And yes below this small core group of 'world class' Football Ferns (all defenders), there doesn't currently seem much depth. A Nix W League team will partly help fix that. Plus getting more girls into Weenix & Ole Academies - which after all is the path trod, by nearly all of this exciting generation of up & coming young Olywhites/AWs.

And Ferns on average play a hell a lot more often than the AWs. Think squad at the Olympics had like 7 centurions. Compared to the AWs they don't lack games together, these Covid times an exception with no lead up to the Olympics.

Lastly don't forget the Olympics for Womens football was only 12 teams, with 3 of the 4 semi finalists in the FFS pool. Bit like AWs having Brazil, Italy & Belgium as pool opponents. Was never going to be a great outcome for the Ferns, esp with virtual zero prep.
