Women playing football? I think they look silly and I can't take it seriously. There are more suitable sports out there for women why football?

In Tennis you have mixed doubles, but then you also have the womens and mens game too. Tennis is completely different to football though. If I was in a mens football team I wouldn't mind doing an exchange with you so I could play in an all womans team and you could join in the all mens. I think with football though if there was a professional mixed game separate from the mens and womens like there is with Tennis then you would need to have some sort of quota system so that you have at least 5 women in the team. If you had no quota system and it was on the basis of who was actually the best, then I'm afraid I don't think any women would get in at all escept for an extremely rare occurance of an exceptionaly gifted female footballer. Even if that woman was so gifted, still may not be quite at the standard of the worst man in the team. Perhaps there are some women who are really skillful at football I don't disagree with you, but would they also be highly rated in all other categories as well? E.g. Stamina, Strength, Arial ability, pace, tackling, zonal marking, offside rule etc etc. Being skillful alone doesn't cut the mustard you have to have a lot more.

If you put the women's team on against the men's then you would have your answer. It would be a cricket score. The simple fact is the quality of football between the two is world's apart.
With time the women's game will evolve but it will allways be light years behind.

Men's football team in England is far more better than their Women's counterparts. That is the reason for it.
But I think women's football should get get 15% publicity at least.

Have you watched wimmens football, it is awful. They might be good within the wimmens game, but they are on a par with some of the lower league teams/ top conference teams in terms of ability.
Shazza, I agree but in a VERY non Fudgie way.

'cos women's football doesn't sell :-) Men aren't really interested in women's soccer and women aren't well known for reading the sports section of newspapers.
And because of that the marketing value of women's football is limited.

I'm sure that part of the reason is that as soon as they begin to acknowledge the prowess of the women's leagues, then they won't be able to put down Americans.
