Chit Chat
Have a butchers at that
"women stick to the rules" < with a picture of Cameroon not sticking to the rules
"value for money" < WHAT??? they go on to explain you need a fat wallet to go to a mens game, which is easily changed, just stop charging more?, but come on BBC the womens game is laughable that's why its cheap, and you could argue they've made it super cheap because no one is sodding interested unless a quid to get in. which also contradicts their argument for women receiving the same pay as men? because men bring more to the game? people actually fork out for the product? seriously ffs
"more goals" Really? so watching 10-12 more goals = it being better than the mens game? maybe the quality is so poor being the reason for more goals, don't forget they are trying to make the goals smaller
"men booked for twice as many fouls as women".... oh dear lord I give up
If they had done so with this pile of risible toot, their website would have broken down under the stampede of invective from sussed readers.
I'm enjoying the Womens WC for what it is but this consistent equating with the mens game is pathetic. Marta is now the joint top goalscorer in World cups with Miroslav Klose apparently, thus invalidating Klose's achievemetns in one ill-thought out sentence.
Agree that that is one of the main issues. I'm sure 4 years ago there was a lot of talk about not comparing it to the mens game and consider it as a different sport since it's far less developed. I've done that and watched a fair few games as I'd rather watch sport that some of the rest of the crap on tv. But then the BBC start saying Klose's record has been broken and another bird scored 4 goals in the world cup which Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo haven't done. When they do that the it's perfectly acceptable to point out that most of Messi, Ronaldo and Pele's games in the World Cup weren't against teams that would get pumped off Gala Fairydean.
Or in the BBCs eyes elevating Klose's achievements? he's level with a legend didn't you know
The forgot to mention women players re-tieing their hair numerous times, and men never bother with their appearance.
The reason there are more goals in the women's games is it is uncompetitive.
To try to suggest it's better than men's game is both embarrassing and sexist.
Everything the liberals criticise others for, they seem to be guilty of themsleves.

"In 1990, former England Under-21 international Justin Fashanu was the first professional footballer in Britain to come out as gay.
The ex-Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger, who came out following his retirement in 2014, said there is a "long way to go" before men come out while playing in a top league.
By contrast, the women's game is considered far more inclusive. Ex-England player Casey Stoney spoke out about being gay for the first time just months after Hitzlsperger."
So women's game is far more inclusive because a woman came out months after Hitzlsperger and over a decade after Fashanu?
Watch this space - perhaps we'll be singing "three Lionesses on a shirt" and naming train stations after Phil Neville before the summer's over.
I can not stop laughing
Who said the licence fee was not worth it

Didn't get that far to be honest
And now people are claiming the BBC are on the wind up and fishing
They've been fishing for a long time, with the same joke? it got boring a long time ago
And its more of a pity towards them now, for a joke to be funny they need to keep their s*** straight

The widespread coverage and high drama of the Fifa Women's World Cup has sparked football fever across the UK
Or is it a case of them being heroic heroes to the universe?
It reads like an April’s fool story.

One of Englands players had to beg glastonbury to put it on a big screen so some of her sisters mates and her could watch it?
I'm not being funny but no one is remotely interested in it on the whole, my mum gets proper sucked in to it all when its the mens world cup, she was asking what time it was on, the pubs were packed and after we beat Columbia on penalties the pubs had music blaring out until about 11
Its a totally different atmosphere when its the mens world cup, yet for the womens my mum hasn't mentioned it, no pubs are showing it etc
But you'd think the way the BEEB is going on it was stopping the world ffs, can't see people bunking off work for a womens world cup quarter final
That tells you something, BBC
ICC world cup is getting a lot more attention ffs, and no one is interested in cricket either, unless its the Ashes and even that has lost its pull in recent years
2005 Ashes will always be peak cricket fever in my lifetime in my opinion
US World Cup winner Hope Solo has said the disparity between men's and women's prize money shows that "male chauvinism is entrenched" in Fifa, football's governing body.
And following the latest impressive 13-0 win by the US team over Thailand, calls for pay parity have been heightened.
Euro U21 Championship
African Nations Cup
In the world of football....the Barbarians are at the Gates..women
men should be getting 1/100 of the pay
