Women's Euros

[Brin]

Detractors of women's football notable by their absence. I am worried however that entertainment of this quality could drive coverage of the world mixed cribbage finals from our TV screens.

I may read your post wrong but, If you don’t want to watch it you don’t have to. I actually looked in and out of the game and caught the extra time and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Full house at Bramhall Lane on Sunday, anyone going?

Brin, I think you are right in thinking you are wrong.

If it has to stand on it's own then lets see what happens when UEFA stops financially sponsoring their own competition. Great crowd tonight at the Amex, and figures about right. But it's a summer game for kids and families. How many would turn out if they all had to buy a ticket in the middle of winter?
I watched it at NYS years ago and it certainly upped it game, but it's still pants.

They do get sponsorship from virtue-signalling corporations like Volkswagen, LVMH, Nike, Pepsi etc.

Well played the lioness’s. Very entertaining. If you don’t like it don’t watch it.

The intensity of the negativity towards women's football is staggering at times. Not surprising though when you consider the number of chauvinist and misogynistic posts that crop up from time to time.
I suppose some regard women's soccer in much the same way that women doctors, bus drivers, engineers and graduates were once perceived by male dominated society. Or maybe it's just that some insecure men feel threatened by women generally.

There are those of course who just dismiss it as inferior in technique, skill, speed and strength to the men's game. Inevitably, the sport is relatively new to women and they have some catching up to do. But to those who think that women will never be able to match men in terms of skill and strength in sport, let me give you just one name to think about: Rachael Blackmore

Do you need to be strong to ride a horse?

Don't get many bodybuilder jockeys do you?
