The coach Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 2 minutes ago, 4evaowl said: We’ll have to agree to disagree. The post I agreed with detailed a few things that the men’s would benefit from: Less time wasting. Fewer feigning injury. Far less cheating/diving. Less wrestling in the penalty box from corners. Way less dissent. These issues have ruined the mens game and I don’t believe the EFL will sufficiently address any of these issues. On the football side, compare the quality of the crosses England’s women make to most mens teams. The women get it into the danger areas most times. You watch most mens games - many crosses hit the first man or are over hit. They also get more efforts on target as the power of the men often results in the shots going way over the bar (as a regular at Hillsborough, you’ll witness plenty of that). Clearly you can’t compare the two on physical attributes, and there is many aspects of the women’s game that are inferior - e.g. goalkeepers and heading to add to some you mention - and I think it’s only the top international sides who demonstrate enough quality to watch. The men’s game hesnt been ruined by anything..it’s so popular..sky keep bumping up the prices every year..you are doing the women’s game a big disservice by pretending it’s as good as the men’s game..if you prefer wowens football fair enough..but come on let’s have a bit of honesty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway the future is Individual club tv channels so problem solved So don’t panic too much about having to watch womens football - your fears are totally unfounded I’m not panicking I quite enjoy watching the womens game in both football and cricket, the skill levels are good. I’d still rather watch an EFL game or a T20 blast game (but that’s my personal view) and obviously I can see the positives of promoting the womens game and getting more women/girls playing and involved in sport. All I’m saying is the EFL could fall behind the WSL in the pecking order for broadcasters in the next few years. They’re never going to reduce the amount of premier league games or England games they show so the EFL games will be the ones to make way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham Owl Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 1 minute ago, 4evaowl said: They will. And it will get better at all levels. The improvement of teams in the women’s game is phenomenal in recent years. I don't know what the quality was previously, it must have been really poor if it has improved phenomenally and only got to this level now. I do think it will increase phenomenally going forward over the next 10 years. Most boys/mens football is played between the ages of 6 and 35 by people playing for fun. I think that this is where ladies/girls football will end up once all the hype has died down. It isnt a bad thing. Put you boots on on a Saturday/Sunday morning and enjoy playing the wonderful game.

The best legacy these Euros could leave though is that men finally, once and for all, just SHUT UP slating Women's football and grow up. And to be fair I've seen there are a few less idiotic posts from blokes and that's such a great positive thing Real shame that this didn’t last long before all the cool kids came out to play Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I don't know why people are worried they will be less mens football on TV if Womens games become more popular. They is already far too much mens Football on TV. You can already watch about 10 games on a Sunday, how much more do you want to watch? I am sure Sky will carry on showing EFL games and if less are shown they be less messing about with kick off times which is a big pet hate or mine. Yes Sky show less County Cricket but think that's more to do with showing IPL and 100 games rather than showing more Women's games. You also can watch all County Cricket Games free live on YouTube. If Women's Euros makes more young girls play football can only help with the obesity problems we have in this country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I hope you win it. Would be the first time you’ve won a major tournament fairly and squarely so your lassies would deserve huge credit. With VAR there will be no Russian linesmen to help you out with offside goals and another one that didn’t cross the line. 66 should have been a draw and everyone knows you’d have lost a shootout to Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Of course I hope England beat the Germans on Sunday but hopefully the comparisons with 1966 wont be done to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
