I was always led to believe Australian women were men.........  |
| When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?” |

As an elite level coach of girls I can give a bit of perspective to this. I also coach elite level boys.
First of all you have to put a bit of perspective on the comparison.
Physically boys and men will always have a physical advantage over girls and women. We are however doing lots of work to improve the physical side of the girls game. Not least of all in that from next season, elite level younger age group girls teams have to play in their local boys grassroots charter standard leagues, against the same age group.
Technically girls and women are every bit as good as boys/men. This is more prevalent in the most recent younger age groups in foundation stage and development stage. There are still some technically good girls at u15 u16 onwards. However less so than the younger age groups who are benefitting from all of the efforts and investment that is being put into the girls game recently. In other words, when these younger age groups become the older age groups, they are going to be so much better than the u15's and u16's girls of today.
Psychologically and Socially the girls are probably ahead of the boys. They mature quicker and are tuned into learning.
It's difficult to comment on the Aussie Olympic team you have referred to as I don't know how good or bad they are in the world of female football. But I can tell you about a recent FA pilot scheme I was involved in which pitched our girls against good quality grassroots boys teams.
Girls U11's 3 v 2 Boys U10's
Girls U13's 6 v 3 Boys U12's
Girls U15's 2 v 5 Boys U14's
Girls U17's 1 v 1 Boys U15's
Female football isn't everyone's cup of tea. That's fair enough. But there are also a lot of blind old fashioned views amongst men towards it too.
The pro side of the game is getting better. It's huge in the USA and Germany. The English national and pro side of the game is getting better. But the real big jump in improvement is about 6 - 10 years away when the current foundation stage crop start to emerge.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

I enjoy watching women playing sport but they will never be on par with men,Any contact or physical game would be won every time by the men, The only sport where women play against men is when they are sat on a horse, BUT Watching top class women compete is just as exciting as watching men, Well maybe not quite as exciting. 
Long distance open water swimming is one sport where women are catching up with and may exceed men's performance. |

English? |

What a load of Bexcrement on this thread.
Paula Radcliffe was the world record holder in the marathon and possibly the greatest GB distance runner of all time but her time was still slower than some top club runners.
Isn't that what Paula Radcliffe used to stop and do half way round? |

What a load of BS on this thread.
So if Andy Murray played and thrashed Serena Williams, does that mean Serena isn't a great tennis player?
If Jessica Ennis enters the men's decathlon at the Olympics and came last, does that mean she isn't a great athlete?
Paula Radcliffe was the world record holder in the marathon and possibly the greatest GB distance runner of all time but her time was still slower than some top club runners.
In case you hadn't noticed, women are physically different from men. It is stupid to say a women's sport is lesser than the male version just because men will invariably win vs women.
It's more stupid to ask for equal pay between the two sports. Everybody is fully aware of the differences between them, there is an ability gap, an absolutely huge one. It doesn't mean the women aren't talented, they're just not on the same level as their male peers. So when they scream sexism when they don't get paid the same, it is absolutely flipping infuriating. |

Nothing to do with ability. It's to do with commercial demand. But incidentally, Chelsea women's wage bill is now in excess of £1.5 million per year. How does that compare to GTFC men's ? |
