LYON, France: The run to the World Cup final by the United States women's team has boosted their campaign for equal pay, but it should not have to be the responsibility of the players to force through change, former international Kristine Lilly said this week.
All 28 members of the defending World Cup squad were named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit against U.S. Soccer filed in March. " We don't want the players to have to say to make a change, we want people to start the change without that." Lilly, who is the most capped footballer in history male or female with 352, added that, had there been more women in administrative positions, the dispute might never have arisen. U.S. Soccer has never had a female president.
