Of course, this match against the academy team was very informal and should not be a major cause for alarm. The U.S. surely wasn’t going all out, with the main goal being to get some minutes on the pitch, build chemistry when it comes to moving the ball around, improve defensive shape and get ready for Russia.

Your anecdotal evidence is countered in the very article you posted

Consider virtually every other sporting example in the history of sports that require speed, strength, and endurance for more examples.

the article you didn't read goes into that, and ultra marathons show parity between the sexes.

The fact that women perform at parity in ultra marathons doesn't invalidate the very obvious differences in speed, strength, and stamina between biological males and females. Muscle and bone density alone account for a lot of that.
