[Football] Are you watching and enjoying the Women’s World Cup?

[surlyseagull]

I think this is not uncommon. I’m fairly interested, but Mrs Hamilton couldn’t give a toss. She’ll happily go to the Amex and is a Liverpool fan, but women’s football she won’t give up any time to.

I think this is a problem for the women’s game at the moment. Women don’t like women’s football yet.

My wife is the same ,she loves to watch the Albion or Englands Mens team ,but really doesnt like the Womens game .
I think the frustrating thing is the need by commentators etc to compare the Women with the Men and invariably run the Men down and make silly comments to try and be ultra pc when what they should be doing is commenting on the Womens game in its own right regardless how the Men play .

Yep, I've actually enjoyed women's football a lot more once I've stopped comparing it to the men's game and basically treated it as a sport on its own merits. Also agree that the habit of now merging stats with the men's game, such as so-and-so overtaking Klose to be the leading scorer in World Cup history, as laughable and really not doing the cause any favours.

Chile needed to win by 3 to go through to a knockout game with England.

2-0 up in the 86th minute, get a penalty, Thailand keeper yellow carded for foul and would get a 2nd yellow for stepping off the line....

Hit the bar.

Just read that the idiots advocating equal pay for men and women are up in arms with Kane earning £200k per week and Ellen White only on £80k when both are Englands main striker Both are good to watch but no comparison on ability and there diesnt need to be.

Just about to watch the game vs Cameroon, my first ever women’s game.

Shame the hesgoal stream is pretty ropey quality.

Maybe it should be shesgoal for this one.

Typical.

Elbow to the face for an England player but no VAR! ‘Roon player gets a yellow instead.

 

[Quinney]

Not sure why that elbow is not a red card. VAR seems to review loads of shite but not something as obvious as that.

Lucy Bronze is quality, she remind me of Wayne Bridge.

I like Cameroon's kit.

So funny. Yeah...

 

[Eeyore]

Standard is noticeably higher these days. It's a good watch.The higher profile of the women's game has helped as well as professional contracts.

VAR tastic.

There is a lot of testosterone in that Cameroon side.

 

[Mackenzie]

Do they not know the rules?

 

[bhafc99]

God VAR is a shambles isn’t it. Games constantly descending into farce.

Looks that way unfortunately.

Not as good as PPF's thinly veiled side swipe.

Very odd.

Hopefully someone will explain the offside law at half time, the coach being the biggest culprit.

FIFA are rascists now apparently!
