Women's football

[Number 9]

Its not for me. Tried watching it but can't get interested enough.

Am I alone?

 

[morty]

Nope, I just can't get into it. I'm not even sure why, as I like women, and the football is actually a decent standard, and theoretically watchable.

Maybe we're sexist pigs.

 

[Fenway Frank]

It’s not for me either, watched England, may take a look again tonight but just as they show a bit of promise someone makes a ridiculous mistake or it turns into park football.

 

[morty]

Aye, thats the real rub, it just isn't as good a standard as men's football, but probably not very PC to say it!

 

[Number 9]

I'm happy to watch early rounds of FA cup on tv and some foreign leagues, just cant get it with women's football.
TV are over it like a rash so someone must like it.

I cannot stand Sue Smith, just cannot watch her. If she's on, in any capacity, I switch off.

bunch of misogynists you lot are!!!

but I can't get in to it either no matter the game is, England could get to the final and be favourites, and I'm not convinced I'd bother to watch

 

[OldRobert]

They'd drop at the semis, like always!

The thing that’s impressed me the most is the level of support the Dutch girls had yesterday

Usually the noise from the pitch and the crowd is an annoying high pitched squeal.

What was the football like?

Haven’t got a clue , I’ve only seen the goals but the stands were full of orange

Having just seen some highlights, I think I might watch the Swedish girls again

Its difficult to make comments without falling victim to 'politically correct ' things.
Either you're ogling the girls because of sex which will get you in trouble or you're offending the ones who are part of the Lbgt community.

I think just saying I dont get women's football is safe.

 

[morty]

Sexist pig.

Oink oink

Its just the standard of the goalkeeping which has done my head in.
The smaller goals idea seems like a good one... No chance that Thailand are going to churn out a 6ft 2 inch female keeper unless they they let the ladyboys play (which in this crazy world would probably come before the shorter goals).
The goalkeeping thing doesn't do some of the impressive technical stuff justice.
Other than that I've been impressed by how some of the teams play out of the back and spread the play... Beats a lot if the shit you see in League one and two.
Just need to go back to the drawing board... Doesn't have to mirror the men's game in every way.

Possibly just make the goals, pitches and game length all 15 percent smaller and that will account of the biological differences between the genders.

There are football clubs that literally change all of these things to accommodate a rugby game so it's easily done.
