It must be popular in order to have the skill level the women's world cup has shown. I think it unlikely to reach the commercial interest level that the men's game (all comers' game ?) attracts.
Why not just accept - and enjoy - it foor what it is and stop the comparison. I have watched most of the live matches - not just England's games - and have enjoyed them all. Not once have i thought to compare them with their male counterparts.
Women's football has only quite recently turned professional and, imho, the standards are beginning to rise. With more funding - and more young girls taking the sport up as a direct result of the Lionesses' achievements - they can only rise higher.
