The Women's World Cup

Well, according to the BBC we can look forward to a festival of women's football in the coming weeks. Holders England, led by manager Gary Neville, look to retain the cup.

Anyone going to bother watching?

 

Don't be silly. The African Cup of Nations should be worth a watch, though. Probably a riot or two, unfortunately.

 

One of the lads at work is going to France, and is planning to go watch some games.

Massive bumber, think he regretted telling us.

 

Swear we finished third.

 

You finished 4th mate, but yes the women did finish 3rd, USA won it.

 

You alright Ern?
Since when was Gary Neville the womens England manager?!
And I am also sure the yanks won it last time around......

 

Yeah I'll watch the England games.

 

tbh I don't really care enough to notice.

 

I can't get excited about women's football. More power to them, I'm glad they have a tournament of their own and TV is trying to promote it, but it's not really at the level of men's football.

It's like watching Indycar instead of F1... Yeah, some of the events might be more exciting but at the end it's just not the same pinnacle of the sport.

That said, sure I'll watch if England makes the final.

 

Probably more exciting than watching the Champions League Final to be fair.

 

Now be fair. The first minute of the final was pretty exciting.

 

But you made the thread

 

Looking forward to it

Womens football has improved alot...id say they are probably about a level up from League 1 standards nowadays

 

Or Huddersfields?

 

Pull the other one, 2 years ago Australia, one of the top ten teams in women's football (ranked 5th at the time), were beaten 7-0 by under an under 15's schoolboy side.

 

That is the most important thing of course...

 

Load of bollocks that...I'd smash an under 15's team with some of my old boys with a couple of weeks to get up to speed...easy.
