    I think that's a great idea and I also think they should use a smaller, lighter ball because the shots all look like they loop because they can't generate the same power a man can. I honestly think the standard is very poor but with the game being highlighted more then girls will have more chance of seeing it, getting interested and starting at earlier ages. That will produce better players for the future. Right now it's laughable.

    Do they tend to play on the standard size pitch at international level? Something else worth looking at.

    Seriously Pal, what goes through your head to think about that, then to actually type it out on a keyboard, then to post it in a serious thread, discussing the merits or otherwise of women's football,

    Absolute weapon.

    It's * and nearly as bad as women's boxing. So glad England are out you just know they were all going to be given MBE's and dames and freedom of city and all that bullshit if they had won. All ready media calling them hero's.

    Doesn't really bother me but still find it funny that every so often I will look at the BBC website and it will say "Chelsea smash record to sign Smith" and I think * that one has completely passed me by and then I click on it and it is about the womens team.

    It is pure *.
    They want parity & equal rights but are happy to be subsidised my the men's game.
    How long before say Arsenal ladies want to split from Arsenal FC proper & ive no doubt they'll get the stadium in the divorce settlement.

    Equal pay is all well and good, but male players playing front of less than 2000 people every week will be making a lot less than the top WSL players. Bullshit whenever you see an article comparing what the likes of Lucy Bronze or Steph Houghton make to Wayne Rooney (they always seem to single him out).

    Quite telling that Man United don't even bother with a team, they know they can't make it economically viable.

    In all fairness one of the key merits of women's football is to improve on Semis:56:
