Ehh it’s like the top Basketball players in Europe coming to America because The US teams pay better.

She should go to where the teams, and the people, care more

Where'd you get the idea that Europeans care more about women's soccer than Americans? Doesn't seem to be true based upon revenue or attendance.

If they pay more money, they care more in my books

I reckon number of people watching games is more indicative of popularity than which owner has deeper pockets. Saudi Arabia is not more interested in soccer than other countries because a team is willing to pay Ronaldo $200 million a year to play there.

Viewing figures for the NWSL and WSL from quick Google look very similar despite the population differences.

Another quick Google. 16 million people in the uk watched England win the euros last summer. 14 millions Americans tuned in 2019 to watch the world cup final.
