womens football is **** lol

Is this part of a new FA anti bullying campaign

some of these latvian girls are doing a shift on betfairs live casino in the morning unfair

reported

giuseppe wrong thread?

no

what was the issue then gio?

4 goals in 7 minutes 18-0

i haven't sent off the report yet

seeing as it's a first offence i'll let you off with a warning

gio you are very kind fella keep me updated if I make any other errors

the english ladies look so proud these are all professional and are paid the latvia ladies are not they work in tescos aldi and lidl on 12 hours shift how on earth is this deemed fair
embarrassing scenes

Possession  86% - 14%

Shots 63 - 0

On target  30 - 0

Corners  15 - 0


Farce.

And they keep banging on about taking this crap seriously?

What a load of utter bollocks.

South Africa women weren't much better in teh rugby at the weekend

huge disparity in women's sports and how organised they are

My school team was naff but we never lost more than 11-0.

look at Cuba boxing team in the olympouics

won half the men's medals i think

didn't even send a woman

the commentatators pundits dont add any realism they suggest the ladies over achieved they should explain how poor latvia and inexperienced they are and how it is totally unfair

this womens manager has the easiest job going I think if kermet the frog took Over his results would not differ from hers

BBC haven't opened a comments section.  Surprise surprise.

Men against Girls

Anyone see Kane in that stomach churning interview about whoever they were scoring loads of goals against Latvia, no idea of their names?

"An amazing achievement", "magnificent performance....blah, blah, bloody blah."

Do me a favour and pass the sick bucket.

the lady in sky studio wetting herself as much for thge 20th goal as she was the 1st
the players must look back in embarrassment at their goal celebrations for 1st dozen or so goals,laps of honour ,badge kissing,pile ons embarrassing

It is an embarrassment 1st but these people have no shame and are completely oblivious to the thought process of " the man in the street" who thinks winning 20 - 0 is a match that should never have happened in the first place. This sort of b.s. really gets on my nerves big time.

lots of posts have been removed from this thread

for once it wasn't me who reported them

a goal every 4 1/2 minutes ... impressive and sort of thing you see in Sunday league games

what Sunday league games have you been watching?

20-0 the highest scoreline I've ever come across in 45 years.  That's loads of Sunday League, school and youth football matches.

late 60,s early 70,s i used to play for boys brigade you could be in boys brigade at 18 no age limits,we had some very good players but most under 14 taking on teams aged 18
we used to get a good wacking some weeks i think 48 0 was the largest but a few in 30,s and plenty in 20 plus,worse than that our goalie used to get MOTM most weeks

48-0

how long was the match?

was that full pitch?

another 10-0 today , Norway .

A decent standard boys team against England women would be a fun watch ,the boys would win easily...but no way would a pub team beat the England ladies lol 

You're right though ,the standard is terrrible  ...it gets promoted probably because it's cheap to air .

pub lads might be slower but would be far too strong at corners etc

think of how few headers the women would win

women would beat the pub team on fitness /stamina ,basic skill level  imo... or there is no reason why they shouldn't in other words .

I'm not sure where the  teams would level out ,maybe around the 10th tier  ...  or very good local sports clubs sides would beat them . 

One of the problems women face at the moment are the lack of players generally but i also think there is a level they can reach and that is it really ...

In whatever sport you choose men are obviously going to come out top pro rata

i think you're underestimating how important upper body strength is in football

that's the most important Seppe of course  ... however  i'm sure the women would tire the pub players out though regardless

look at it this way

would an elite team of 12 year old boys beat the pub lads?

england women are probbaly at that standard

12-14 year old boys

i suppose it depends on the pub team   ...  women are at best  14 year old  lads standard   ... if elite lads , my money would be on them

would be  good to watch but it will never happen

reported giuseppe I like you but sadly you crossed the line

In 2017 USA women, the number one ranked team in the world, were beaten 5-2 by Fc Dallas under 15's.

good thing they didn't play Latvia

yeah, 12, 13, 14

that is the level

not sure if women's tyeam ahs ever played udner 14s

seems to be under 15-17 they play and they lose heavily

saw a girls team play a boys team in the park teh other day, was a proper match on full size pitch with ref etc.

the boys looked much smaller, must have been much younger

the other issue is that the boys wouldn't be allowed to play at their natural game , they would have to back off , and refrain from any half hefty challenges that may injure the women  ,lest of all be accused of trying too hard against the ladies  lol .

I think if the 14 year olds were allowed to play properly  then it could be 10 or 15-0 quite easily .

Talking of pub players , ex club pros played  Crystal Palace women a few years ago and the guys were walking around the pitch, maybe too lazy/unfit/not trying ,but they missed a shed full of chances winning only 1-0

I think you are way out.  I've heard that male employees at Tony Bloom's firm Star Lizard played Brighton Ladies (then in The Championship) behind closed doors and hammered them.

ok so there is a bit of a gulf between Brighton Ladies and England women, but there would be a bigger gulf between Tony Bloom's employees and the 10th tier.  Physically they couldn't compete.

If you are talking men in their 40s that weren't once pros I guess the women would probably win, but fit men in their 20s and 30s would destroy them.  The women's technique would probably be better, but it wouldn't hold up under the strength and speed of the men.  They'd just be knocked off the ball far too easily

would need to be older than 40s i think

any half decent male team between 12 and 50 would beat the england women

any half fit 45 year old male is going to be faster, taller and stronger than those women

yes Clydebank , the 10th tier would be way,way too good looking at the system ,not sure where i plucked 10th tier from ...i should have said local club sides ...whatever tier that is

Clydebank ,the ladies were no match against the mostly overweight ,sedentary  middle aged pros  ... the men should and would have won 5 or so to nil  if they had been allowed ...

if women were able t play aginst men they would, we would see women playing to play semi pro

i think FIFA don't allow this but that is besides the point

if there were any women good enough to play in the conference there would be a campaign to change teh rule

I think its also the danger element too ...   a bloke could cause serious injury to a woman and any full blooded challenges would be frowned upon ... 

the game is quite physical in those lower leagues

yes it would be carnage
