Women’s World Cup

They are better than men at netball though

Probably only because men don’t play.

Are England in it?

Yes Geoff through to last eight they play Norway in Thursday I know I'm sad but better than watching soaps or Forest ( just about )

[Andy_Faber]

Are England in it?

yes and todays game was like something from days gone by - diving, spitting, murderous tackles, two threats to walk off, dithering officials and refusals to shake hands afterwards - a classic!

Lol...point taken...sorry.

At the end of the day I doubt that there are any international women footballers who could make it at even League 2 level.
Same is true of virtually every sport...the top performers are invariably male.
No misogynism in that comment...that’s just how it is, so the games might be good contests but, imo, it’s not really worth watching and I agree with Adi about the screaming.

So, unless any sport is played to a certain level, its not worth watching?

Is a good job that chesterfield and Belper Town fans don't have the same thoughts.

Some of these games are far more interesting to watch than this year's FA Cup final.

The men have a lot to learn about honesty from women's football.

And the standard has shot up in the last ten years or so. Goalkeeping is the worst of it IMO, with a few exceptions they are awful.

Yep...fair point Ram...but would anyone who isn’t a fan of Chesterfield or Belper Town actually choose to watch...for long?

You may well be right about the honesty aspect too...my simple point is that the best footballers, cricketers, rugby players, tennis players, golfers, basketball players, swimmers, runners (distance and sprinters), boxers etc are men and, in comparison, womens’ sport is second rate.

I’m all for womens’ sport and I don’t believe that women should play ‘second fiddle’ in any other way but let’s not kid ourselves, where sport is concerned...largely perhaps because of the strength factor...womens’ sport is invariably second best and, from what little I’ve seen, the WWC is no exception.

I've watched the games involving England and viewed a few highlights of other WWC matches, not great
but still watchable until our season restarts. Also not many shirts being swapped after the games which is a bit
of a disappointment!
