Quotes from the news wire:

If we were under the men's contract, we would be making three times more, you can look at the total compensation and say,' Oh, National Team made a little bit more.' In that time that we made just a little bit more, we've won two World Cups and we've won just about every single game that we've played in. So the rate of pay is just so different. And it's just so frustrating. To be honest, I think so many women go through this.
