Australian women

Women's sport is great in its own right and the competitive nature is just as good as the men's in most sports but there are some sports that it just doesn't wash and I think football is one of them. It's not good to watch. Athletics, tennis and golf are great. When it comes to men v women i don't think there is a sport that I would rather watch the women's version than the men's (beach volleyball excepted). Top Women's sport is great but put them against the top men and they are some distance behind. The worlds best female will always slot in somewhere in the top few hundred  men I guess in most individual sports but in general I say keep men v men and women v women and  the pay relative. I wonder if most women prefer to watch women's sport or men's?

This was an under-15 boys  side remember. So physique might not be as much of an issue. The comment in the article from one of the women's coaches I think was that the boys moved the ball around extremely well. Which again gives the impression they were out-footballed rather than out-muscled.

Have you seen the size of some kids these days? Some of them are well over six feet tall in their early teens and extremely athletic. Heck, I weighed 12 stone when I was 14 (and I wasn't tubby!). This was 30 years ago. I doubt that many women could have coped physically against me back then. On the football field, that is.  

The newer generation is generally taller and then also tend to go to the gym in the way that my generation rarely did so it wouldn't surprise me to see some of the most capable Under-15s teams physically overpower a women's national team. That said, it's as much about pace as anything.

I think the standard of the women's football I've seen on TV has improved a great deal over the past 10 years, but the real weakness remains the goalkeepers who really aren't very good at all, even at the international level. I think the issue there seems to be a lack of 'spring' when they are trying to reach shots and, of course, they aren't nearly as tall as the average modern keeper. If they could sort out this position, the teams would be greatly improved as the rest of the play is at a pretty decent standard these days.

Genuinely not trying to be controversial but one sport that I believe women should certainly be competing on a par with men is snooker. Can't see any physical reason why not?!?!

And darts! But then again not sure how they are classed as sport!
