It's an established tradition in Australia that their athletes always punch above their weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's slow. It's tedious. It's not an enjoyable watch. It's growing indeed but I'm not sure how far it can grow now. It's been shoved down people's throats and still hardly anyone watches it. This is never gonna happen and you know that. The women's game would get even less respect if they did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) 10 of the final scores in the European Qualifiers this week: 8-0, 11-0, 20-0, 8-0, 7-0, 9-0, 8-0, 12-0, 19-0, ,7-0 For real. This isn't good. Format seriously needs to change. Bare in mind. These aren't results within the span of a year. These are from last week only.

Said this for a while, it just reduces the quality when the keeper can't reach a basic shot over their head or gets lobbed from 30 yards. Women's basketball in America uses a closer 3 point line and a smaller ball compared to the NBA. Tennis they don't play as many sets as men, there's nothing wrong with making a change if it increases the quality of the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I don't understand this "shoving down throats" that people keep referring to. If you don't want to watch women's football, then don't. Perhaps also stop making shit comments about it too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) The WNBA does have different regulations. It’s also not given much respect and not well watched still. I don’t think it would make much difference. It would also mean barriers to entry because the same facilities as men couldn’t be used.

It struck me that the goalkeeper problem might be solved by recruiting transexuals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Soccer AM every week they put some of the questions about women's football nobody ever knows the answer. SSN BBC always reporting on it. The radio always talking about it. Score updates goals highlights. Why? Nobody actually watches it. Push notifications from Villa about women's fixtures results tickets. I don't care. I don't subscribe to Villa for this. What percentage of people do?
