If the extent of your analysis is to compare female athletes to their male counterparts, I rather suspect your base understanding of women's sport, and the value of it, is rather deficient.

As for proving me wrong, your previous posts have already made a good case as to why I am right.

Nope

Meg Lanning is one of the greatest cricketers of her generation

Female footballers are simply not very good

PC bs is the only reason why they are getting any exposure

Matilda’s were thrashed by a bunch of 14yos so basically you still don’t have a clue about anything

Thanks for that

 

[sledger]

My pleasure. But if all you can do is make snide insinuations then it would probably benefit all concerned if you bestowed the fruits of your prodigious wit on someone with the spare time to give them the consideration they doubtless deserve.

Reality sweetie

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Cry me a river

The Matildas minus Kerr were thrashed by Newcastle u/15s

Same thing happened to US

How many 14yo boys beat Serena in tennis?

Lauren Jackson was allegedly good enough to play in the NBL

Women footballers flat out suck

Eat **** you miserable ****.

Thanks for your input

Now mount a rebuttal to anything that I posted

But before you post, keep in mind the fact that I am the father to a young daughter and 100% behind anything that promotes sport to youngsters

HOWEVER, that doesn’t change the fact that most of these girls are far from good

The sport is like women’s cricket a few decades ago

Sad

Are we allowed to sing the barmy army song about Matilda?

I think this speaks more to the lag in investment in women's vis a vis how much more developed tennis for women is. Considering that even in the west women were only permitted to organise pro leagues in the 70s, and the fact in many parts of the world, organisation of women's football is less than an afterthought, it goes without saying alot of the teams look erm...undercooked. This does not mean women are inherently bad at football

 

[Uppercut]

They're all far better than I am and nobody interrupts the spectators at our games to rant about how ****e the quality is.

The men's World Cup is a million miles from the pinnacle of the sport now too. It's not really why you watch it.

One of the barbs I've seen was about the United youth team beating the new Womens team last summer. Ignoring the womens team was only 3 weeks old, the fact is those boys had been focusing on football since 8 years old, went through a school (Ashton on Mersey) that put their football development over academics from the age of 11, and have basically been told football is their life (even if they don't make it at the top, they'll easily earn far more than 90% of their peers just by playing at any level of the football league). This is pretty common now in good standard youth teams around Europe at least, for men. Womens football has absolutely nowhere near the investment in development until basically the player turns pro. It's no wonder men's youth teams beat professional womens teams, they've had 1000s of hours more training and have had football ingrained into them more than anything else

Just stumbled across this Under 21 match and it is absolutely mad.

Honestly one of the most ridiculous 15 minutes of football I have ever seen.

I'm not aware that anyone has claimed that the women's game is on par with the men.

Is it available to watch anywhere?

 

[Pothas]

On Sky.

Ah **** that's no good then.

From the guardian on Utd trying to sign AWB.

Two bids had already been rejected out of hand. The second is understood to have guaranteed only £35m for the 21-year-old right-back, with a further £15m dependent upon personal and collective honours. Palace considered those performance-related clauses – some are believed to relate to United, who finished sixth last term, winning the Champions League – to be wildly unrealistic.
