Official Women’s Football Thread
Why do people think women shouldn’t play football because of their gender ? England Lionesses have totally out shone England due to their performances in international games and reached no.1 in the UEFA world rankings were the men stand 12th

They haven't outshone the men's team though.
They play in different competitions with fewer teams in it for a start.

I dont think people say "no women should play football" I think the disagreements are more to do with the salary and broadcasting of female sports in general.
Whilst it is a touchy subjects, I do see why female footballers are paid less and why the matches are not streamed.
Football is a business and if something does not sell then I do not think a few feminists ranting about equality will change the minds of people wanting to increase profits. Rightly so.

If you think they haven’t out shone the men’s team ... give me examples because the Lionesses are the most successful senior team since England won the 1966 World Cup

Women can play football if they want.
Doesn’t mean that I’ll watch it.
Men’s game is to a much higher standard.

Perhaps true, but only because the men have usually done it for longer and get better funding & coaching.
I don’t watch football, but I do watch and play rugby. Women’s rugby games are often MASSIVELY better than men’s in terms of technical standards; there’s a fair share of big hits, too.

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.

Not in terms of football.
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.

Tbh men’s isn’t a much higher standard they dive more but anyways that’s my point women should be allowed to at the same standard as men but no we get a load of stick for it I got called delusional only because I want to be a professional footballer and I’ve always have since I was 2 because I’m girl and the FA are just making it harder for us to grow and get back to how we were once were in 1921 until we were banned

In terms of football as a sport. The poster started talking about women’s rugby.
The point made was that the standard could be equal if women’s football tecived estra funding and training.
To counter that, I bring up the point that an U15 team beat the women World Cup winners, who have probably have more funding and training than those U15s.

You would say? Please support using evidence
Regardless of funding anyway, the world’s best female team shouldn’t be losing to kids in high school if the standard was the same.
