I watched a couple of the villa ladies games and thought it was still not the best. The difference between them and this is frightening. Technicallly brilliant nowadays the gulf between the top players and the mid-lower table players is vast. when you watch it at the top level the standard is better than people assume it to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) There is a distinct lack of diversity in this England team, is Parris still in the squad? Looks to be a problem across the WSL as well. Edited July 11, 2022 by jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this a huge problem, when people just go looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After googling it, only 12% in the WSL are black or Asian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted July 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2022 Don't have to go looking for it to be pretty obvious! Would be interesting to see why it's the case - I could make a few assumptions about perception of the game, areas/circumstances in which women's football may be more heavily promoted and/or invested in etc., but in reality I haven't a clue. On another note, those 'GOAL' signs are **** atrocious. What the actual ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your gonna get these percentages in womens football, because a huge percentage of men play and want to get into football, there's not many women at the moment or in the last 5 years who have been interested in football. I guess that'll change over the next 5 years and we may see more diversity in teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanna hear the advert on the radio for it, "hear come the goals", instead of hear comes the girls. Corny or what?

robby b Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 What a performance from England tonight! Great movement and passing, this team is so talented. As for Norway, they may have a great front three but those three players need a better midfield. It's a waste if such gifted attackers get very little service. (Not taking anything away from the England team's pressing, which was very good). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is because of lack of knowledge . or ignorance on the subject ? when you look at Englands most capped players 30% are black women. Do you think our Olympic relay teams should be made up by colour quotas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to have become more white in recent times. Nobody is saying there needs to be a quota, people are wondering out loud why the women's team looks very obviously different from the men's team at this point in time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
