Women's football success

[ebikeerwidnes]

Puts a lot of pressure on the men at the World Cup

they sort of have to win the damn thing - and even then would have to credit the women for the inspiration!!

we shall see!

......englands keeper looked like she had been shot, when the german player didnt touch her, Jill scout got up and hurled abuse at player and ref, when wasnt even fouled...i could list more, but whats the point.

That's just following the rules of the goalkeepers' union. She learns well.

As a Russian oligarch and close friend of Putin, are we at the stage where the women's game might be the place to launder my blood billions?

Start in the millions first. Don't draw too much attention.

In an example of the growth in popularity of female football teams my next door neighbour seems to spend half of his spare time in the winter ferrying his 13 year old daughter to training sessions and football matches. There are still only a few girl's teams around so he has to travel further afield than he used to with his son's team.

We done the women's national team, a truly great result for them and hopefully women's football.

The fact that their performance has driven a big surge in enquiries for tickets for the WSL (3,000% increase I believe) is a good indicator that's it's caught the public's attention, they need to hold that attention and build upon it.

It would be great if they can grow the fan base and attendance numbers, the latest numbers I could find were for the 19/20 season, see the WSL, National League (Tier 5) and League 2 (Tier 4) below. I hope and expect these number to dramatically change for the positive....

One of the things I have enjoyed about this is that the players are generally referred to as women, only heard one dinosaur call them girls.

Tbf it is not unusual to hear a manager, player or TV pundits refer to the boys or the lads when talking about Premiership football players.

Do the players in the womens' teams refer to their teammates as girls or women?

Wrong! This is what he actually said:

less rolling about, dissent

Not that there was no rolling around or dissent.

Wiegman has referred to the team as 'the girls' in interviews. As always, it's a context thang.

And it's a sports team thing.

Yes - that's one of the contexts.

We were having a small housewarming BBQ and watched the second half and extra time. None of us particularly footie fans, but a comment a few made was that they are enjoying the women's game as more skilled and less cynical, but also seems to have a better 'vibe' to it.
I have to agree. I may be a convert.
Women's rugby is also a good watch.

I hope money doesn't taint women's football as it has the men's game.
Compare and contrast the Euro final with the LIV golf at Trumpy's golf pitch....

Indeed, I hope so too, but, I am not optimistic.
