Official Women’s Football Thread

That line of thinking is flawed and assumes they are playing in equivalent competitions when they aren't (the women's Euros and World Cups have fewer teams in, so they aren't like for like).

If they play in the same competitions the men play in and get further than the men do, then they've outshone them.

Until then, no.

Sexism. Although the quality of women’s football is improving rapidly, it is still a number of years behind hence women’s football is looked down on.

Well maybe if they would think of us as equal and put the same amount of teams in the tournament and then we would.
But that doesn’t change the fact we still have out shone the England men’s team

Getting further in an inferior/different competition =/= outshining

My local Sunday League team won a trophy last season are they outshining the England men as well?
Tbh so is my under 14 team I play for we have won the league 2 the County Cup 1 Northbank tournament 1 Whitehaven tournament 1 League Cup 1 in 2 seasons

Not sure why you are so obsessed with 'getting one over' the men.

I’m not so obsessed it’s the fact we always get looked down on as the 2nd best to the male international team but we are not

Exactly that’s my point that’s why I think if the FA didn’t banned it in 1921 (they lifted it in 1971) it would be totally different

In theory yes, but I don’t think they really made the effort until a few years ago. Think it might take a lot of generations until football isn’t seen as a boy sport, some of the attendances in the women’s English top flight are about the same as men’s conference premier division, and I can’t see it changing anytime soon. For example Reading women hit 1k attendance the other day for the first time I think, the men’s team isn’t even in the premier league yet they get 12 times that attendance at the very least on a regular basis.

What game ??? And the Lionesses are amazing and throughly deserve to be the no.1 ranked team in the world

Durham Ladies v Aston Villa Ladies

Durham are fairly decent ... I’ve meet there midfielder Beth Hepple she’s really nice tbh she’s the one who tried to persuade me to sign a deal with their RTC

My favourite game ever just so happens to be a women's game. The 2012 Olympic semi-final between the US and Canada.

I am off to a women's game Sunday hey @Jack22031994 you going to any games soon?

Unfortunately not - far too busy!

What game you off to?

Ah that sucks for you, I am off to Villa Ladies v London Bees (well they may as well be called Barnet) this Sunday

Yeah, want to get to Anfield to at some point Ah nice and yeah they might as well be!

Hope its a good game

I been to Anfield but that was for the men's lol, yeah we need to keep our winning run going.
