Womens Uefa Tournament

Have you been watching? I've seen a couple of games. It's all very cute. No aggression; no intensity; poor marking. But some people seem to like it for some reason. Better than the mens game; sooner watch this etc. :o)

Had that goal been scored by Harry Kane, it would have been shown at the beginning of MOTD every Saturday.

in any case, no-one has to watch women's football - it's a different game to men's football (thye might play by the same rules on the same pitches, but it is a different game). If there is a sport you prefer less, just don't watch it. I prefer rugby to golf, and therefore when they are on the telly, i would probably watch rugby, but wouldnt watch the golf

Thanks bednobs. That's just a patronising ad. Good CGI with the injuries though. :o)

‘ That's just a patronising ad’

Oh, the irony.

I just don't see how anyone could take it seriously. That's not hate, or sexist. It's womens football. It's what it is.

The standard in counties which take it seriously have certainly improved over time (including England), and this tournament has produced a number of highly entertaining games.

Yes, some have been rubbish, but you get that in the men's game too.

The lionesses were certainly impressive in the Norway game, and have a rosy future ahead IMHO.

If I would pick one area of weakness generally, the goalkeeping would be it - good goalkeeping coaching is required here I feel. Not taking anything away from the striking some of which has been phenomenal.

Why shouldn't it be taken seriously. Should lower league football be taken seriously? They don't have Champions League skills either.
