After just watching the female world cup highlights on the beeb i was wondering what level of football the girls in the England team would fit into. Obviously not prem but some of them i think technically could cut it in league 1 easily, Thoughts?
Played football with Julie Fleeting a few times before (Scotland captain, all time goalscorer and cap holder I think?), and she could play a fair bit. Saying that, still not of the ability of guys I know that are only playing junior level in Scotland (equivalent of semi-pro in England).
If you took a team of the 11 best female footballers, then I think they would struggle to make the football league. There are 1.2 billion people in China, 1 billion in India and there are not 11 good footballers between them, because they don't really play it that much - neither do British women.
You'd need to get down to pub league level before the England ladies' team would have a chance of winning on a consistent basis.
As a team they' struggle past conference level, individually a couple would be good enough for Championship teams maybe. Also remember they are largely part time, if they were in the men's game they would train more/get better.
Not a chance they could play at any level with men. Just not strong enough. Plus their goalkeepers are absolutely dreadful. Back to the kitchen, ****ing dishes needing done.
They missed that one in the "big review". Shoud've let a womens team play in the SPL. More women would have gone to games. More sponsorship from feminist lesbo groups. Would have given the male players a kick up the arse to stop being so crap.
some big hammer thrower **** like ross tokely would kill them all as soon as they touched the ball for the first time.
They would be the same as Norfolk sunday league to be fair. Not being harsh, but they are just not strong/skilled enough
