The commentators and pundits are far more reticent to put the boot in. Everything is always fantastic. You can see this as patronising or a good thing depending on your point of view. The shootout last night a decent example.

Bill Burr did a bit about this talking about women’s sport in general. People feel more comfortable shouting abuse at men rather than women, so in that respect women’s sport is different.

its proper poor stuff. There is a massive disparity not just within the different teams, but within the players in the teams themselves. its like putting Messi into our squad and looking at the difference between him and the other players.

Some of the decision making and passing is atrocious, I'd say for 80% of the players with a few standout performers who have some genuine ability.
And this is the thing - I could have written that 10 years ago, so my problem is despite all the investment into the womens game I do not think the overall standard has gone up by much, if at all.

Stand out team for me has been France. in general they look a yard quicker, look strong on the ball, quite athletic.

As long as you go into these matches knowing what you are going to get, then fine, accept a lot of it will be shite in a lot of areas. However I do not get the comparison to the mens game, there is zero comparison, so people should stop doing it. if you think womens footy is shite, then don't watch it. if you do watch it, accept the shite parts and stop comparing it to the mens game.

The two games shouldn’t be compared.
For a start, how many women goalkeepers are 6 foot or over? Very very few and yet they still have to cover the same sized goal as a male keeper. In the women’s game the keepers positioning and decision making is not the same as the men’s for this one reason.
That’s just the start. I’m not putting the women’s game down, far from it but if only for the physical differences it should never be compared to the men’s game.

To be fair, ten years isn't loads of time, especially since it's been exponential.

You think how many lads played football all day every day at school, and how many of them were anywhere near good enough to make it. It's the girls now who have the opportunity to play from really young, who will improve the game.

True this and I've noticed an improvement in the grassroots girls game over the past 5/6 years, much more teams at each age level and instead of just a couple of "okay" players per team I'm seeing teams that have good players in most positions.

I was coaching grass roots cricket ten years ago and England women winning the World Cup lead to an explosion of girls wanting to play the game. It’s been growing ever since. They now have a professional game and girls don’t need to play in lads teams and they can aspire to have cricket and football as a career now.

Some of the attitudes around it from middle aged men is deeply depressing. They can’t just let them have a game on prime time tv without wading in and explaining how shite it is. Compared to etc etc etc

Hopefully after we’re long gone these sports can exist alongside each other without ridicule.

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.

Speed and physicality counts for too much in footy. Inferior football playing teams would beat them based on that alone if they're organised. Shame really.

The common denominator is the name 'football'.

Besides that they are two different sports. I watched it last night and really enjoyed it.

One thing they are picking up from the men's game is the snide side of the game. Both when fouling and when being fouled.

Whilst it has the same rules, because of the difference in physicality its not really played the same way I reckon.

In the same way mens tennis was dominated by the powerful serve, and women's tennis wasn't.

Ive seen a few people say it sorry, wasnt a pop at you or anything, just never understood why.

Pace and power, that's it. The men have more of those two things, so if you like your footie to be dominated by speed merchants and powerhouses then the men's game is your thing and fair doos.

When it comes to skill level, tactical awarenes, playing the game closer to its originally intended spirit, a more level playing field between teams, then the women have the same or more than the men. I prefer to see that in my footie.

Pace and power equals more skill. The idea that that element of the game is equal is ludicrous. There's no comparison. Look at the goalkeepers. The difference in athleticism, and therefore the reaction time amnd ability to spring or leap higher is significant. The mens game is much quicker and more physical and much more intense as a result.

If you like it better then why dont you watch it instead of mens football?

Yeah there is some truth in that I reckon.

I have watched women's football for years and I find that some male managers struggle with the power and pace think at the expense of the technically gifted players. It certainly seems to be happening more in the past few years.

I've watched 5 minutes of the whole women's tournament, someone was singing Abba songs for the whole 5 minutes, and just like the Crystal Palace drum it was unbearable so I switched it off.

Watched 0 minutes of the mens "world club cup"

Watched 0 minutes of cricket.

Watched 0 minutes of tennis.

Watched 0 minutes of motor racing.

Watched 0 minutes of golf.

Watched 80 minutes of Everton v Accrington then left.

It's a strange one to have an opinion on it really. I got called a misogynist in work this morning because I said I didn't watch it. This by a woman who has never seen a ball kicked in real life.
I think people over react. If you say it's shite you get labelled with all sorts which is just what the current climate is about, I suppose. I'm more right on than you etc.
I can see both sides, Teflon is getting stick below for saying its not as good or whatever and a little hypothesis on it could be damaging the women's game as where does it go from here, has it peaked too soon etc???
On the other hand it needs exposure to develop. The cynic in me suggests that it is only really getting shown by the terrestrial channels because they've zero mens footy to show and wouldn't touch the woman's game if they did.
I'm not particularly interested in it, the same as men's squash, cricket, rugby etc but I don't get labelled for not liking certain mens sports.

Oh apart from cricket mates, who say I don't understand it as a lazy reason why I don't like it. I do understand it, it to me is just dull and boring.

The older I get the more I hate all forms of summer football. There isn't a single part of the year now where there isn't some football going on somewhere. It's over saturation, even though I get the fact women's football needs the money etc so don't begrudge them.
So for me, it is the same with the club world cup and any other tournament.
Why can't be all just love cricket in the summer?
YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT CRICKET. ha.

Comparing it to the men’s game and saying stuff like my Mortimer side from the 90s or Lower Breck would batter the women’s team IS misogynistic. Why are people comparing it?

The Dallas Cowboys would batter Everton at “football” what’s the point in that kind of debate?

Not watching is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, obviously. It’s mad that I need to keep saying this but it’s aimed at women and there’s a load of them about and now because of the rise of women’s sport young girls have heroes and aspirations. It’s not for Wisen arl twats who hate the world

Perhaps, you shouldn’t use words you don’t fully understand, Ste. I know it’s probably a buzz word you’ve just recently discovered, but sometimes it’s better to not throw baseless accusations about. I’ll leave you and the cliqué to debate this amongst yourself and throw the accusations about (like you usually do).

Is the 'quality' the main thing that makes it interesting to watch?

I am a bit of a hypocrite, because I don't really watch it. But then, I don't really watch any other footy than Everton. What makes me excited about Everton is the emotional attachment.

I guess there are loads of people who feel that about the women's game now? And if they are even games, with loads of action does their relative standard with the mens game matter?

Well, yes. It’s the reason I watch programmes like The Wire and The Sopranos rather than Call The Midwife or Mrs Brown Boys. If there’s no emotional link then the quality is the attraction. It just isn’t there in women’s football.

You're comparing it to men's footy though. It will never ever reach that standard and therefore your opinion will never change.

Just watch it as though men's footy didn't exist. Loads of fellas watching and thinking I would slotted all of those pens, and giving themselves a pat on the back.

Same fellas will watch other women's sports tennis or golf and can't say they would be better than the person they are watching, so keep schtum.

And yet the standard in those games is 'awful' compared to the mens equivalent.

That may be true about the terrestrial channels but sky also show plenty of women’s games.

Think it’s a good thing, it seems more popular than it’s ever been so it’s not showing any signs of slowing down yet is it…

I love most sports tbh, I don’t watch much women’s football but i enjoyed last nights game. I don’t watch that much men’s football these days either though tbf, it’s absolutely rancid. That club Turd cup in America?

I only watched extra time and penalties, it reminded me so much under dyche (I'm talking England here) they put 11 men behind the ball and there was absolutely no outlet so when they cleared it the ball came straight back in.

Seems very popular and has grown massively over the last few years. It’s a good thing isn’t it? Anyone with young girls, must be a great thing to see the coverage it gets surely.

BBC at 8pm on a Thursday night anyway, no idea what shite it knocked off the listings but I doubt I’d have been watching it- I did however watch the football….

Is the growth sustainable? I’m not so sure. I hope so though it might lead to an improvement in quality. I just think it’s being set up to fail long term.

It’s current quality doesn’t deserve main channel prime time tv, it’s a completely different sport to men’s football but is being played under the same circumstances.

Look at women’s tennis and women’s boxing (both of which are of a higher standard than football) they’ve adjusted the sport to suit the physicality of the competitors and they’ve thrived because of it (I know tennis hasn’t suffered the same obstacles that women’s football has, but boxing has and it adjusted) it might be time to use smaller goals and slightly smaller pitches.

My 6 year old daughter couldn't give a fuck about the mens team and I can't get her to sit and watch an Everton match with me but she'll happily watch the lionesses so maybe it's just not aimed at you.

Point of order don’t use a word you can’t spell. Also, misogyny is patronising the sport by saying it was great, when really it was a poor standard. I’m all for the women’s game, but it needs to evolve naturally and not have some forced progression foisted upon it. The standard is poor and isn’t relative to the coverage it receives, it’s commercial feminism and it doesn’t really lead to any empowerment it’s a patronising attempt at equality, and ultimately it could have devastating consequences on the women’s game.

yes , yes thats exactly what i'm saying ...

it's on orime time tv so that milliosn of women (and men) can have access to it rather than it being on a paid subscription site ..

its been on prime time channels for years mate so i'm not really sure why your arguing about that ..just turn over and watch something else.

For the record i've not watched a single second of it , but if others have and enjoyed it thats good enough for me .

I remember exactly the same thing on tv some years ago in a play off final for promotion in the mens game. Can’t remember the details.
Some of the comedy goals in the premier league due to teams trying to play out from the back, if seen in the women’s game, would be used by some as examples of how bad they are.

I’m saying they’d feel empowered by the sport they play being allowed to evolve naturally. Otherwise it being propped up and not being allowed to be criticised isn’t empowering is it? It’s condescending and patronising.

Don’t you think there’s an element here of you railing against something just because you don’t like the idea of it being true. An old man shouting down the rising tide
What kind of argument for equality, inclusion and empowerment IN ANY CONTEXT is “you can’t do something because we do it better. YET you can’t do it YET until you are better (even though we all know you’ll never be as good as us) It’s for your own good”
Isn’t that patronising and condescending?

This is rich. Every single point you have attempted to make has nothing to do with the original post.

The women are likeable, as opposed to the men. No mention of any 'quality'.

Both my daughter's play football. I watched it with them. I know Alex Greenwood's family personally. My 10yo daughter is certainly emboldened by all of this, having played in mixed teams with some negative experiences.
