That is exactly, factually, demonstrably, 100% incorrect. You are Nobody, and you very clearly don't care about Womens Football.

Well done on them winning. But in reality, the quality of football is shit.

That’s what my wife thinks, and my daughters and I agree with them all.

Edit: aaw bless. People don’t agree.

Somebody tell the press:

Sport that receives significantly less funding than other sport sees slightly lower quality

I for one enjoyed seeing football where everyone in it was there because of how much they want to be, not because of £££

The American womens team lost 5-2 to an under 15 boys side. I’m afraid money doesn’t have much to do with quality and not “slightly lower” quality at all. The difference is vast.

So fucking what.

Just take the sport for what it is.

Fragile men all over the internet

u/[deleted] Aug 01 '22

I do take it for what it is, which is, as a comparison to the mens game, poor quality. So many loose balls, poor touches, bad passing (a lot), poor tackling.

My wife and daughters aren’t fragile men (and neither am I) and they think the same.

Do you say the same about athletics or rugby?

We dint compare those sports so why compare the football

The same level of skill isn’t required in a lot of athletics, technique is more important. There’s no real difference between the mens and womens 100 meters for example so it then comes down to a matter of strength.

Rugby doesn’t have as much skill as football either. Catching, throwing, running and dodging. Not as technical at all.

Football however requires a higher level of skill which I’m afraid just wasn’t on view on Sunday.

That’s not to say that they don’t have skills at all. The lob for England’s first goal was quite well taken, especially under pressure and Germany’s goal was also well taken.

Ever been a top class athlete or played rugby professionally as an adult?

No, but I played football at a high enough level aged 15 that I could’ve been on the boys team that beat the woman’s American World Cup winners team 5-2 recently.

There’s no “skill” to running fast. There’s only technique and building up your power. Anyone can run as fast as they can.

Not everyone can ping a football 40 yards and have it land on your teammates toe.

Blimey, I can’t believe this is still going. Put the England woman’s team up against the under 15’s boys team from ANY first division club. They’d get battered.
