I cried tears of pride and joy and anger many times watching this. An absolute 10 of a documentary. And then to see the pathetic sexist trolls dragging the rating with their feelings was both a shock and a reminder that we still live in the stone ages. These one star ratings are from little overemotional boys who can't separate their insecurity from filmmaking. How can anyone watch this and say "these women should shut up?" GOD! Each one of you would square up with Megan Rapinoe in a field shoot out match and see how you feel. How can you be against equal pay for these incredibly talented women? Arguably some of the most well-known athletes in the world? Winners far more than the men? And somehow he feel the need to drag down the ratings on this phone because it makes you feel like more than a man? How many more years but we have to live like this? I'm glad I watch this film I'm grateful for it. I highly recommend it. I hope other women and like-minded Film lovers will add more appropriate ratings that reflect the quality of this film making.

Plot summary
Three months before the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, the players filed a class-action, gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, which sets the stage for LFG. The film interweaves transcendent athletic performances, including a record-breaking World Cup victory in 2019, with the players' ongoing pursuit for equal pay. LFG grants viewers unprecedented access to these game-changers as they meet the physical demands and pressures of being some of the world's top athletes, while showcasing their courage, unflinching spirit and resiliency in an effort to create long-lasting social change. Told by the players themselves, including Megan Rapinoe, Jessica McDonald, Becky Sauerbrunn, Kelley O'Hara, Sam Mewis and others, this emotional and cinematic film uncovers what it takes to be at the center of the biggest fight for women's rights since Title IX.

Trolls will try, women will WIN
Not a movie more like an infomercial
I tried to like this movie. Then I saw in the first few minutes it was about a group of people who are in the entertainment sports industry, they signed contracts, didn't like the contact, sued and lost. Sports players already make more than most people watching this movie. If professional sports went out of business today what would really happen? Not much. They are not more important than everyday people who get up, go to work, pay taxes, and live paycheck to paycheck but serve a real purpose. These players are in the entertainment industry. It's supply and demand. They make more money as more people want to watch their products (kicking a ball). It's really a weird first world problem they are complaining about. While the rest of the world works for peanuts, and have real jobs, these entertainers make a movie as if someone is forcing them to kick balls for a living. Bottom line, if they are in demand, they make more money, less demand, less money. Watch this movie and see if you don't agree.

A market driven entertainment industry that bases pay on ticket sales and ads.
To overuse a cliche this truly is a "first world problem" This film focuses on the lawsuit filed by the US Women's National Team against U. S. Soccer for alleged wage discrimination. A ruling was made on May 1st, 2020, when the judge sided with the U. S. Soccer Federation, stating the women's team had been paid more - both in totality and on a per-game basis - than the men's team, and that no discrimination occurred.
USWNT members claimed in the lawsuit that their maximum salary in a typical year is $99,000 ($4,950 per game).
