Womens football

Women's football has improved immensely in the last few years, but I wish they'd stop trying to directly compete with the men's game. Make the pitch, goals and ball 10% smaller, make each half 40 minutes and I guarantee that it will become more competitive.

Possibly.
I just know that I haven't enjoyed watching an international match as much as this for ages!!

Rather watch the swimming than the mens team.

Bizzare.

Agree with all comments, I'd just add that the girls seem to work for each other with more passion and commitment. Keep going girls!

Yes, I agree. Make the above changes and the men's game would be much more competitive.

TLP - totally agree mate, been watching it for years! If you stop trying to compare it to the pace & power of men's football, it's a really good watch and harks back to the 'old days' of pro-football.

Great result tonight too

My fav. player is Alex Scott... great engine!!

I went to Coventry last week with the missus to see Sweden v South Africa and Japan v Canada - absolutely superb day out.

Team GB play Canada in the quarter-finals, and from what I saw last week, they shouldn't have too many problems.

How's the Wembley for Women coming on? Probably scrapped the idea now.

Bet your gutted.

Hello Iwas - how was derby village's bid to be a World Cup host venue?

Probably scrapped the idea now.

Bet you're gutted.

Hello Derby - Don't be bitter. I bet you had the contract for the curtains and OR for the doilies. Oh well.
