Women's World Cup

[Drew]

Seriously? THE best? Shame you were not at Wembley in 2008 when City were there. Not even in my top thousand.

I didn’t say best. I said best I’d seen in ages.

Ages is as ages does. The older the age the greater the range of "bests".

 

[petersaxton]

It matters because that's how they track viewers. I thought that was obvious.

Do you honestly think they work out how many people are sat in front of the TV in each house? Or do you think they probably take an estimate?

some have TVs that actually see who is watching
and they go round stopping people in the street and ask them what they watched in the last week

Ok.

These women are at the pinnacle of their sport. There is no point in comparing men and women. They can only compete against themselves.

Just enjoy it for what it is.

Not true. Of course they can compete against men's (and boys) teams. They did, against boys, and lost 7-0!
Not having a go. I really enjoy England Women's games.

John please don't start this rubbish..

I am just pointing out that sport should be men against men and Women against women. End of, over and out.

Ok, not sure that's really a relevant issue for this WC.

But don’t you see what you’re saying?

‘they’re good but they aren’t as good as men’.

What’s the point? Serena Williams gets it. She’s incredible, why do we have to downplay her achievements.

England might win a World Cup. As football fans, why do we have to demean it?

It's not, but the women's game is better for how it is and will find its own commercial level, so you cannot compare it to the men's game financially. My comment on them losing to a load of 15 YO boys just highlights for me why the game has to be women against women.

 

[petersaxton]

There's that TV charity match every year which has men and women and celebrities and ex professionals
I remember a charity match between ex pros for Everton and Liverpool
John Barnes came on as a substitue and he was substituted off after five minutes
he was just so unfit

what's demeaning about women footballers getting hammered by boys?
the standards are so different

And it is.

That’s not what I said but come on.

 

[petersaxton]

That’s not what I said but come on.

You said: "why do we have to demean it"

 

[SydneyTiger14]

You said: "why do we have to demean it"

Yes, by belittling their achievements. Keep up.

 

[Drew]

You said: "why do we have to demean it"

Yes. Why do we have to demean achievements by comparing sexes.

 

[John Ex Aberdeen now E.R.]

Hey this is pretty funny.

It’s almost like ‘woke’ is all about headline grabbing and swaying people to be angry when actually it’s much more complex than that.

 

[Gone For A Walk]

I'm not sure anyone is demeaning anything about the Women's game, the Lionesses achievements etc.
I even said I really enjoy watching.
It is what it is .... but let's not pretend.

 

[petersaxton]

Yes. Why do we have to demean achievements by comparing sexes.

males are better than females at football shock!
