O/T Womens Football

[Dubbag]

The women’s football is slow and a poor watch.

I just don’t enjoy it.

I know it’s not allowed these days not to like stuff like this but I just don’t.

Yeah...I don't like darts by either gender.. There are somethings I just don't watch. I am with you on this one Mick...

That’s fair enough but plenty do! Many don’t like to watch rich overpaid players who don’t give a s hit about their supporters over watching a pub team or lower non league!

Hope Reeves saves her best for these rich ones and does her taxes and maths by percentages!

IMHO women's football still has a fair way to go in terms of quality but it has certainly come on leaps and bounds over the past few years and tbh, I really enjoyed most of the games I saw over the course of the last World Cup. True, some of the teams who didn't make it past the opening stages were poor (defensive positions and goalkeeping in particular) but others, like Spain for example, were an entertaining watch.

Nice to see not only more girls and women becoming involved in the sport but also an increase in the number of fans for women's football who seem to have created a much more family orientated atmosphere to the games.

The USA remain the top seeded women's team but the rest of the higher rated international teams -France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, England, Brazil-are countries who all traditionally have good reputations in the men's game. Before Thomas points it out😁, Sweden are currently seeded second however (whilst the Lionesses have slipped to 7th )

Just hope the whole passing out from the back/ keeping possession through the tippy-tappy stuff that has spread through the men's game doesn't similarly infect women's football or else they might find their recent increase in followers begin to collapse!

Good post Omeg. Many families love going to these matches too as more like a carnival without any yobs. How many families with kids or girls would return if they went to that Wolves game?

I went to a few MLS games and yes the quality of the football was not great buts it’s the all day experience - lovely people - no trouble - good laugh and people staring drinks and games in pre match tailgating. Fantastic days out! Certainly wouldn’t take my daughter to a West Brom game but would an England girls games if she wanted - more for the occasion and no idiots!
