Very nice pass through there.

Firmino-esq.

 

Good on the women, IMO. Far more likeable than the men’s side. No excuses, no media circus, just focussed on winning…. Something the men should take  on board.

Mentality wise they are levels above.

Made up for them. I'd totally have sex with a few of them too so they have that going for them aswell.

Sneaky bit of time wasting from Kelly.

Just when I was shouting "Go left!"

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Made up with that.

Ha. I shouted the same. 

[bossy]

[Poor Scouser T]

I wonder what the best standard of a man's team that the best woman's team could beat.

 

 

Youth teams

[Lurtz]

Proper enjoyed that. Absolutely made up for them.

Not Millie Bright. She’d fuck you.

Great strike for the Aussie goal but still think the goals are too big. Don't know how tall the keepers are but anything remotely at the corners is a goal.

That and the penalty spot

[SasaS]

Cue 1966 wank fest.

Has anyone mentioned the U17s won the World Cup in 2017?

Not sure I understand what you mean but as a woman do you think it would be beneficial to the game to alter a few things?

Womens football is a different game, enjoy it for what it is. One thing I've noticed is the really bad aspects of men's football rapidly creeping into women's football, the time wasting, feigned injury, diving etc,  watch it while you can because soon enough it will be shit.

We’re still miles away from the cynicism of the men’s game.

 

It’s clear the differences between men and women in strength has a massive impact but has anyone commented on the quality of the corner taking in so many of these games compared to the men’s

I haven’t thought about it closely but my gut says the goal and the distance of the penalty spot to the goal should be relatively smaller

[Ashberry]

Four finals on the trot is a fantastic record for Serina Wiegman. If she is available and the men's coach position comes up I think her name will be mentioned. It would piss all the right people off no end.

Reckon this is their main motivation for this event.

Not so sure about the penalty spot - wasn't it Kelly who whacked in the winning spotkick the other day? Peter Lorimer would have been proud of that power. Goal size, yes.

We must all do our part

Wouldn't change the structure of the game, goals etc at all. It would only serve to create a split in the game at youth/grass roots level that would only discourage participation. If it means one form of the game is more likely to see a higher proportion of long range goals, then the game and tactics will adapt to that. Expecting them to change the game to suit you as a viewer is no different to Americans complaining about football timekeeping. Go away and let people play the game, leave the sport alone.

 

That difference isn't really about quality, just a natural variation. Like women's and men's hockey (women's is better to watch imo), the flow and physicality is totally different, but both work on their own terms.

[No2]

The goal size can't really change, boys and girls all over the world share the same pitches, having them play in different goal sizes to the professionals just wouldn't work.

Please please please make it happen
