The technical ability thing is absolute bollox. I watched one of the Italian girls ping passes all over the pitch like peak Beckenbauer the other night. There's a lot of great dribblers in the women's game too and top quality finishers that could teach DCL a thing or two.

Goal keeping is probably the onyl position where you could say the women aren't as technically capable as the men, but even then I wonder how much of that is due to them playing in goals that are designed for the dimensions that a man can leap to rather than a woman.
