It seems that under no circumstances can womans version of football can be criticised by the media. It seems yet another thing being artificially pushed by the media as comparable to the men's version. It's not and never will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think commenting on the quality of some of the other teams in particular being a taboo topic is weird, but it’s been done to death already.

Its the pointless comparisons to the men's game which was incorrect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Damn Sweden vs Spain, the passing, transitions, defence from both teams is fantastic. Better than some men's teams in some lesser leagues Edited August 15, 2023 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted August 15, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2023 I think this is a great game. Loads of high quality play and movement, lots of brilliant last ditch defending and two cracking goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good shot but it was with the inside of the boot and from very far away. Whole team lost concentration just after they scored and then not on their toes for the short corner. Classic. Ah well, at least my gamble on Spain as gold medalists is still alive. Edited August 15, 2023 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why does it matter the relative quality of the women's game versus the men's? I'm not sure why you'd want to make that point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hard to see us getting passed the Aussies today, but you just never know. Still, the fact the Lionesses have reached the semi-finals given some of the performances we've seen is impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Football is the only sport where people compare the women to the men. If you don't like it don't watch it. And I don't see a reason to bash it at every opportunity. You're not criticizing it as constructive critisicm but to provoke and create a negative reaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
