Looking forward to it, will be a million times less play acting and downright cheating than in the men's game.

As Baz said though the most glaring difference is the goalkeeping, it's terrible in the women's game and the size of the keepers is the issue, most male keepers are 6'4"+ where the women aren't even 5'10"

Give the women some time and they will be cheating just as much as the men ;)

Couple of months ago I had Vila v United on TV for a bit as I was sorting some paperwork and was surprised how good it actually was.

TBH some of the matches I've seen in the past were great, the officials generally seemed terrible though.

It's often seemed there's been more Malta level teams than good ones. I'm sure it'll develop though.

It does make a nice change not seeing players rolling around the floor like they have been shot after the slightest touch - but I agree its inevitable that the more popular it gets the more the "professionalism" will come into the womans game
 
Haiti suddenly playing volleyball?

E: England aren't as impressive as I was led to believe. Looking forward to seeing what France can show tomorrow.

Two games this morning the GK gone too early on a pen.

E: E: Second time lucky.

One thing the men's and women's game has parity in is for players to spout absolute crap after a match.

Oh the average IQ of an English player for mens and womens is double digits and not the upper limits of that. Its astonishing when you actually hear one that is articulate and insightful. Its been especially painful to see them trying to convert some of the retired England womens players into pundits and commentators. There are a few good ones but some of them sound braindead and shouldn't be anywhere near the camera.
 
I don't follow any of the tabloid press but a mate of mine in Ireland has been sending me stories about some of their players. One was in a relationship with another then they broke up. The other one went on holiday with her new Mrs who is a teammate at Arsenal and plays for Australia. Original chick wasn't happy and refused to shake her hand when they played the other night. Drama :D
