They are paid shit wages. If they win the cup they will have to hock it for airfare home.

Members of the U.S. women’s national soccer team filed a complaint with the federal government this week for being paid less than their male counterparts.
In 2015 World Cup play, for example, the filing outlined that “women earned four times less than the men while performing demonstrably better.” Last year, the women won their third World Cup, while the men have not advanced past the quarterfinals in the modern era.
Worst of all is a Salary cap that has to be split among every women's team.
Win or lose the women will win in court even though few people pay to watch women soccer teams play.
