I don't know if anyone here has been watching these matches. There have been some good goals and some pretty decent football played.
BUT
Is there a good reason why the BBC football fixtures listings and tables for the WOMEN'S WORLD CUP are listed as '(the country) women'. Didn't we all get the message that the Women's World Cup would be played by women from the country they come from?
Perhaps when the Men's World Cup is next played they will put '(country) men'.

I watched 10 minutes of the Germans and thought the standard of their football was superb - great first touches and passing. I watched the second half of the England game and thought it was a mixture of very good stuff and some of the schoolgirl errors that I remember from watching the Gas Girls about 10 years ago
They worked very well as a team though, even if the French centre backs didn't give them a sniff all game
I'll be watching the England match tonight. Jill Scott is always excellent when I've seen her, and the goalie Bardsley is good value. The rest seem to be a bit like the men to me - a bit middling and hit and miss

If they could:
At what levels, do you think, could the best English woman player and best in the world player play in the men's pyramid?
What league would be the best for the England team and the World Champions Japan? |

Either way, women's football gets a completely disproportionate amount of coverage on BBC football relative to it's actual fan base. In the past they've failed to make the distinction between men's and women's football in headlines so it isn't the worst thing they've made it clear. |

I've got season tickets for Bristol & Yeovil (both together gave me change of £50), go to most Wales Women's internationals in South Wales, have watched numouress Champions League matches including the Final at Stamford Bridge in 2013 and have seen various matches in the Frauenbundesliga and watch a hell of a lot of NWSL games online so kinda feel I can make a post or two on this...
England are dreadful, I mean not the worst but so far short of the likes of Germany, USWNT and France. This World Cup is acting as a gateway tournament for a lot of countries, it's the first one that's been so big and will see a lot of big results (see Ivory Coast - Germany). What it will do though is act as a window for players to make a name for themselves and get a place in professional leagues around the world. With that the standard will rise because young girls around the world will see it not only as a sport but a potential career which, ten years ago it wasn't. I don't think it's really comparible to the men's game, sure it's played on the same pitch but it's like comparing the 100 metres with the 1500 metres because they're on the same track and the rules are the same. It's been a good World Cup thus far, not as good as the last one in Germany but France in four years could be superb.

In the past they've failed to make the distinction between men's and women's football in headlines so it isn't the worst thing they've made it clear. The fan base is small due to the retards at the FA being totally misogynist. The Women's game is growing but has decades to go to catch up with the dinosaur that encompasses the premiership. At least the Women's team plays around England unlike the men. They are just another London club. The Women's team has more chance of winning the world cup than the overpaid prima donnas who prance around Wembley. |

The was the England women's team has the same exact problems as the men's team and it just goes to show how woefully inadequate a job the FA are doing. England will almost certainly go out in the Quarter Finals of the World Cup (the same as they did four years ago with a group exit in the Euros in between). There's a coaching vacuum in England and moronic tactics used on the international stage. Mark Sampson came out after the France game praising "Record breaking GPS stats". Now, no mention of the one shot on target. If the FA DNA thing is praising players for running round a little none of our senior teams will ever do anything. |

the England coach is the ex-Bristol Academy coach, I believe He is indeed. Did an incredibly good job there as well. However England's probably are more deep routed than who the coach is, I mean they allowed Hope Powell to manage the side for a decade and she's a worse manager than Stuart Pearce. |

The two games England/France and Norway/Germany had almost identical first halves. Germany and France knocked the ball about; made room for the pass and made the game look easy. England's tactics were woeful; didn't change the way they played and paid for it. Norway changed tactics in the second half; closed Germany down; put themselves about and looked the better side at the end.
It reminded me of the Gateshead game at the Mem The Heed played the ball to feet all over the park and should have been so far in front by half time......At half time DC was on the ball and sorted out the tactics and closed Gateshead down in the same way as the Norwegian team and the result is history. |

The biggest highlight for me is the attitude that pretty much every player has - If someone takes a hit then she gets back up and carries on with it. It's so refreshing to watch, and if anybody reading this hasn't watched a match yet then I highly suggest that you do so.

I actually went to watch the last Womens World Cup final in Frankfurt. I also saw so.e group and knockout games. The women's team are a mirror of the mens team, lacking in real quality and can only grind out defensive results.

covered incessantly by BBC. Women don't even like women's football. It's worse than schoolboy internationals.
Watched by the dads and partners of players, and men who feel they are being enlightened and do it because it feels egalitarian. You can't be watching it for the entertainment value.
Over coverage by media due to critical theorists in said media who believe all behavior is conditioned and we don't watch or rate women's football as our minds have been warped by a non existent patriarchy.
End of discussion.
Edit. Some women's sport just as good. Women's tennis is entertaining, gymnastics actually better standard sometimes. Women's football is being pushed far beyond it's means as it us male dominated, its almost exclusively male culture. They don't like this, they think it breeds sexism to have a male dominated anything, so girls are crowbarred in coverage wise to break it and create their unisex, androgynous dream.
I'm fed of hearing interviews of some absolute nobody woman talking about "the girls" and games nobody has an interest in. The BBC can get stuffed, we pay for proper coverage, not the political agenda of its metropolitan w****rs who run it.

Gave up watching after the first match when shirts weren't swapped after the final whistle.

You don't like it. You've been cowed by social pressure to like it.
Ok. Alan partridge, brass eye, the office. Go nuts.
I'm not having a go personally but I feel very strongly about this,

I'm not having a go personally but I feel very strongly about this, I always find it funny people getting wound up so much about something that really doesn't affect them in any way. The Office was bland which, that's not to say I think it shouldn't be on TV. Best wishes. |
