On woman's football the best team in the world for years has been the U.S. National team,they played a team consisting of Young men in the U.S. and lost 5-2.That is the standard that they are at but BBC and Sky are pushing it on us.
That's true Sherwood, and when I was running regularly I would be beating women international athletes (and not troubling the leading men).
But then I watched the recent women's 1500 metres final at the World Athletics Championship.
23 seconds slower than the men's but it was a fantastic race.

It's all about the competition.
Last night's England v Spain game was a real nailbiter - and no small skill from many of the players either.

I watch my local rugby team regularly. Skill levels are way lower than the Premiership, but I've enjoyed loads of their games.
Likewise lower league football.

These women's euros have been a pretty good watch so far.
The only annoyance is that I have tried repeatedly to buy tickets for myself and my daughter at Brighton, only to be told they are sold out. Then you watch on TV and see loads of empty seats!
