Women's World Cup 2023.

[Drico]

There's a purity about the women's World Cup at the moment that's very attractive. The men's game is utterly toxic now.

What's ridiculous about asking a question?

The womens world cup has been a success, and quite entertaining, but let's not pretend they don't have a long way to go before they can give the boys a game.

To be fair, nobody is pretending "they can give the boys a game" - no more than people imagining Serena Williams might beat Rafael Nadal.

It's its own spectacle. That's how it can be enjoyed.

I think it's also known as money

Money I can live with. Human rights abuses, not so much.

….wishing Scouser and ex-Toffee Alex Greenwood every success.

...What about the other women Mr Eggs?

Cannot stand that horrible, self-centered arrogant, loves-the-camera Infantino fella.

Spot on. Its like watching the American leagues , not a fan but take it as it is, a lower level.

These women are at the top their game and are quite deservedly lauded for that . . but it's not even the same sport.
It bears little comparison to mens football.

IMO of course

It's currently nicer to watch in my opinion. Not quite so fast and furious, so more time for skill to show, and (until professional coaches stain it) not as cynical, divey and cheaty.

Having said that - I agree it's an entirely different game for those reasons. Those assuming Weigmann would excel as men's manager aren't taking that into account I think. Not saying she wouldn't be, just not sure she would get the best out of players in a much faster game.

The runners up are getting £180k each, Spain are getting about £230k each.

Every entertaining sport is going to get a lot of money.

What's this supposed to mean? Do you want a Hollywood acceptance speech like list from the chap?

Thats chump change in the men's game to be fair.

Because it's idiotic. It's women's football. They don't need to be able to "give the boys a game" before they're valid in their own right.

I'm a massive advocate for women's football (I always tell my mates off when they're not).

they all deserve our support. Not just the ones who played for us pal

You sound like one of these angry woke's I hear about.

I asked a question, you got upset.

 

[BullensRoad]

We're "still" having these ridiculous questions?

Thank you Bruce. The WOMENS team is miles ahead of the men's game, they don't roll around or go Saudi for the money.
