Zatman Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 not sure if anybody was watching this so far but watching 2nd game of the day and its not bad at all. the teams are quite skillful, games are competitive and goalkeepers look a lot better than in previous tournaments. also its refreshing to watch football with no cheating, diving and played in good spirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 I presume you've not seen Spain's last minute winner v England then Zatman? i only saw that in goals and gaffes thread after i made this thread but the 4 teams playing yesterday were actually quite decent, Iceland keeper made some very good saves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Brilliant face-OG that was. I've put it on the odd evening when I haven't had much better to do, but really, I can't find much enjoyment in watching it as the quality just isn't very good. Well, you know, beyond identifying the most hottest/cutest players. Edited July 15, 2013 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The quality is not there but that is because it is an amateur level game at the moment. If you look at women's tennis the quality is good because they are full professionals training and playing full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Well, the quality might not be great, but it's still football, ergo, plenty of drama. England just equalised in injury time, keeping hopes of qualification from the group alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Do they yell "man on!" when a team mate is under pressure? "Woman on" sounds too clumsy for the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yeah, I watched that match. Man that was embarrasing. Did you see it Trent? I would argue the first goal was even more laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 22, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2013 No mate, believe me I would never ever watch a game of women's football. I've nothing against women's sport, I would happily watch tennis, athletics and just about anything in the Olympics. But women's football is a joke.

LondonLax Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It's not going to improve without more people watching which will attract more investment. A bit of a chicken and egg situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 22, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2013 Perhaps but I'm fairly sure me watching it won't improve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It has gotten better but its more for the comedic effect of it. I just watched this game since it was norway. But yes, women football is a joke. The best team in the country is my local team and I barely hear anything about it. They might get an article in the local newspaper if they win the league. I mean that says it all right there.

Rodders Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 that penalty decision just then for anyone watching in france - denmark was hilariously bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Why are the Scandinavians so good? They have a view of society where women are encouraged to be able to pursue the same interests as men if they so wish rather then reinforcing gender roles for the two sexes when growing up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
