You could get us in the quarters depending on how many goals we knock past the Nigerians.
In which case, you won't last as far as penalties
we shall see!
Womens World Cup
- Thread starter djchewie
- Start date
we shall see!
Watched Argie game, most embarassing thing ever. I can definately say I am better than pretty much everyone of those players. I know it sounds like a ludicrous statement but I have always thought it, just never thought I was right. But now, definately, they are awful. I am better. Put me on TV and give me sponsorship money.
Ya right. SP. In reality, I'm sure those women could run circles around you. And it'd be fun to watch
USA beat Nigeria to go top of the strongest group in the tournament 8)
Bring on England in the quarterfinals!
seeing how ****e our mens sports teams are, its up to our women to fly the flag and put them to shame.
i like womens footy. end to end entertainment. plus sweat, breast, lots of female touching. what more can you want!

So interesting to see the attitude on here about women's sports.
One wonders if it's because your team doesn't win anything, but then I remember that your men's team doesn't win anything either!
Not that I speak for every American sports fan, but I think we're overall a little ahead of the curve in appreciating women's sports. Much of it is down to Title 9 - the ruling which basically interpreted our Constitution's "Equal protection under the law" clause to force universities to have equivalent sports programs for men and women.
I think it's a good thing. and I'm nearly as proud of our women footballers as I would be if our men could get their act together.
rant over!

It makes me laugh how men slag off women's football, obviously some insecure men out there trying to prove their masculinity.
Noone's claiming women to be better footbaler's than our men's team, but I'm sure they would run rings around any of the guys on this board!
It is a tough competition getting into the National team, they dont just take in any old players. Jon's sister and cousin both play women's football and there's a hell of a lot of training that goes into it. Infact his sister at 14 trains almost every day (she plays for Kent) and she's hoping there's a chance she could be in the women's Olympic team for 2012 if she keeps playing and training
That's a hell of a lot of dedication, not something all of us could do.

I know I know! I was talking about those sitting behind their computer screens with their pot bellies saying "Oh I could play better than that"....

i like to think im in pretty good shape thank you
i appriciate what your saying - alot of time and effort is made in becoming the athletes they are - but its the quality of football ive seen in this world cup (granted its not alot) that frustrates me, its allmost like a tennis match - goalkeeper kicks to midfield - midfield to striker - then boom - shot, keeper saves and the same routine happens at the other end!
plus the commentary is shockingly bad to!

as opposed to, ball lumped upfield, striker goes down like a sack of ****, 20men surround the ref, fffing and blinding. pen gets scored, players start throwing pizza at each other down the tunnel.

yeah pretty much
The football is shocking, the players are shocking, the entertainment value is poor. I don't care whether its men, women or monkeys playing. I watch and enjoy football and want to see it in its best possible form. This is not womens football. It is just pushed to the front in the media to please silly little women who are behind "the girls" who train "nearly everday". I train EVERY day. I'm not on telly. I'm better. I'm not on the telly. It's pathetic. I don't care what you say about "pot bellied" men behind their computers being jealous and demasculated. I'm better than most ( not all ) of those girls. Get realistic.
A friend of mine did a report on womens golf. Despite not bringing in as much revenue through sponsoship, ticket sales, entertainment value and generally being pretty bad. Women demand equal TV coverage, money and everything. We don't care that your women, it's because your ****e at golf !!!!

I disagree with you. If you look at the bottom teams mens or womens in the world cup; you will see miss matches. The best and most technical football is not until the QF IMO.
But I'll take a 3-0 victory any day. Bring on Brazil!
