Women's world cup

[dead_soft]

When the football gets better than Sunday League, perhaps there will be a better chance of gaining equal pay, until then, no chance

It is and it's boring to suggest otherwise

I love women's football, class my self as somewhat of an expert on it (I tried for ages to make that sound less knobbish and have failed so just going along with it...) and am really looking forward to this World Cup.

Really cant be bothered with the sexist debate side of things but it will be an exciting tournament.

Women's football is starting to get some decent funding, it wont change overnight though. It will never compare to the mens game and shouldn't have to. It can be enjoyed for what it is.

Top leagues are now getting to the position where their players can make a decent living out of the game, they will still have to get jobs after their career more than likely but that's life.

It's not a word I disagree with, it's a nonesense word that has no relation to this, and your view that the BBC promotes misandry has no basis.

I presume you'll see your argument through and maintain that lower league clubs should get no funding from outside

Jeez I think you imagine most of what I say. Or don't understand it. Or deliberately don't understand it to try and wind me up. lol

Whatever.

Hope there's a token man on the panel.

As long as my local girl Sam Kerr gets a hat trick in the final, I will be happy

Saw this on TV last night

Brilliant stuff

I hope young women see this and the World Cup itself and are inspired by it

And yeah, they might not deserve the same amount men get right now, but they certainly deserve more than the paltry amount they do currently get

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

You are clearly not balanced - terms like feminazi and calling the BBC misandristic are from the lunatic Men's rights brigade and have no basis in, well, anything of substance.
I believe women's football is deserving of more funding, especially as it was actively worked against for so many years by FAs and international organisations. Everton do not attract the interest or revenue of Man United but we get a big cut of the TV revenue.
I don't necessarily agree with Hope Solo on the funding they should get, but she didn't call 'men' chauvinistic she said that male chauvinism was entrenched in FIFA, and I'm more inclined to believe a woman who has been actively involved in a sport than someone who calls her Feminazi for expressing her view.

Neither are you to be fair

On these sorts of issues you're very hard line from what I've experienced

Fine if that's the way you see the world, but I wouldn't chastise others for lack of balance when you aren't exactly balanced yourself

 

[jaycee]

I doubt I will be watching any of it,not because its women,just the fact when I have tried it has been incredibily boring,hope its a good tournament and with all the teams good luck,but I wont be adding to the viewing figures

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Does it start tonight? Is it on terrestrial telly?

EDIT - 8PM on BBC 1 tonight, France Vs South Korea. I'll defo give it a watch. Come on you Lionesses, bring the Cup home!!

 

[Billy Dean]

Looking forward to this. I know nothing about it but should be fun. Alayna enjoyed the Japanese teams in the past, they always played the best football. No idea about the current team though

What do they get paid Mikey?

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

What do they get paid Mikey?

Your average Women's Super League player makes under 30 Grand a year

I think Sandro makes something like 100K a week for us by comparison

Ridiculous

 

[Ring master]

The England Women's games are all on BBC 1
All games are on a mixture of BBC Red Button / BBC Sport Website / BBC Four and BBC ALBA for Scotland games

Was just disagreeing with him saying he was balanced...

Not a hard line, I do have opinions. It’s not always a positive to find balance in arguments...
