People saying the quality is different level for men and women should consider why they watch Town if the quality is so much less than the Prem.

It has different qualities that we appreciate as Town fans, otherwise everyone would support Man City and Liverpool.

Women’s football is different to men’s. It can still be great entertainment / sport.  You can enjoy both, they don’t compete with each other.

I was quite impressed with some of the cross-field passes which England made the other night. Very accurate, and hit hard enough to reach the player. Whether or not a male defender might have been quick enough to get forward and cut these longer passes out doesn't really matter with only women playing.

People need to stop comparing the women's game to men's. There are notable differences in the physicality and power involved between the two. There are physical and power related things that you will see taking place in men's football, that you just cannot expect to see in the women's game, and this has been widely accepted by those involved in the women's game that appreciate this.

But technically, and tactically, women's football at the highest level is superb, and is improving further all of the time.

It is fantastic to see the crowds that the women's Euro's is attracting and I am thrilled for everyone involved. 5 years ago I was in the Netherlands for the Euro's and I had a brilliant time, in a great feel good environment, both in the grounds and in the fan zone. But the escalation since then has been massive, and frankly the growth in spectators for this tournament is phenomenal. I doubt there has ever been a competition where attendance has grown so much in such a short of period of time, from one tournament being staged to the next. That is a an absolute credit to everyone involved in the women's game.

Chin up womens football critics, this tournament might actually provide an 'it's coming home' English football moment.

Quoted from Morris Minor
All this talk about women's football is blown out of all proportion. It is a third-rate product with just a tiny bit of skill.
Big crowds etc are nothing more than a flash in the pan for curiosity's sake.

Let's settle it once and for all. England ladies (full strength) v England men (full strength). Winner takes all.
Would be interesting to see the score, any guesses.

I think at least 0-12 probably more



Obviously a bait but I will bite. It's the same as saying non-League or L2 football is a third rate product compared to the Premiership. How about best Premiersh*t 11 against the best League 2 11.
