GB v Brazil (Wembley) tonight at 19:45.

Quick goal for GB, how do you think the rest of the match will pan out?

HangTime · 31 Jul 2012 at 20:14

Well taken goal for a leftback.

Someone's been watching Ashley Cole take penalties

If GBR hold out this win they will be playing in coventry on friday, is that right? I might put in for tickets. Enjoying the womens way more than the wah wah mens.

Why does Aluko remind me of Shaun Wright-Phillips...

Well this is refreshing, when one of them falls over, they get back up again. No rolling around on the floor like the namby pamby blokes.

It just lacks quality though. It's improved but it's still pretty frustrating to watch if you're used to watching the men's game. The attacking is alright in places but the defending and goalkeeping is not good. There's a lot of fairly aimless long balls as well.

Watching women's football is like watching a girl play FIFA for the first time.

And just how many young women are getting in to football compared to young men? Boys play football during their breaks at school whilst girls pick daisies and braid their hair? You* are indirectly responsible for the lack of 'talent' in womens football due to misogynistic attitudes reducing the pool of potential talent.

Raised awareness = more girls getting in to football = larger pools of talent to select from = better flowing football = raised awareness = ......

Will be going to Coventry on friday to see this. Screw your 'mens' game.

* you the sense of the royal we

Ok get off your high horse you crazy person. Where did I say any of that? Of course it's great that we're doing well and the game is improving (as you might notice I pointed out) Does this change where it's at right now? No it doesn't.

But go ahead and make yourself look like a fool if you want, misogynistic attitudes really, perhaps you should read your posts through before you click submit.

Just pointing out why there is a difference, get off that horse yourself

Don't care if men are better technicaly or whatever. They don't have the heart these
women are showing.

Mik3 · 31 Jul 2012 at 21:55

They are better than the England team.

It's still better than watching some premier league games.

Yeah, Liverpools!

Can't say I'm overly interested in Women's football but it would be a momentous achievement to win a medal, they'd all become household names overnight which can only be good for the women's game in Britain.
