  Most people on here seem to women's football as a positive thing, but I would love to watch some of the people who feel so threatened by women playing football that they still have to demean them, try to play against these ladies I'm watching in the World Cup. Even the Thai team would run rings around a bunch of  Sunday League cloggers.
  I'm honestly not sure what level of men's teams the best women could compete with, but I'm certain it's a lot higher than that. They may not have the strength or speed of male professionals, but the best women players have some serious skills. Just watch with an open mind.
  The women's game is different in the way that women's tennis is different to men's. The fact that Serena Williams probably couldn't beat the 500th best male player is down to testosterone related physical attributes, not skills.
   I think it's great that Town are starting a ladies team. If the club is moving into the 21st century, maybe all the supporters should do the same.

Well said.  I’ve enjoyed watching the World Cup games.  The only thing lacking is the atmosphere due to the smaller crowds.  

Saying that women’s football isn’t the same as men’s is like saying Paula Radcliffe wasn’t a great marathon runner because she took 15 minutes longer than the men.

Exactly people don't say I'm not watching the women's relay race because it's not as fast as the men.

And your Marathon example is a good one - 99% of men would be more than 15 minutes slower than the fastest woman.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That is probably factual but it doesn’t mean women’s football is going to be good to watch does it

Let's face it a lot of Town's football over the last few years has been terrible to watch, I'm enjoying the world cup but don't expect it to be as fast or physical as the men's game

That is a question of taste.

But the point about ability is relevant - people still watch women's athletics even though they're not quite as fast/strong etc as the men.
