Too many Americans - more than Englishwomen - in the West Ham squad.

The Americans in women's football are the equivalent of Brazilians in men's football. (And I don't mean the hair style)

West Ham’s manager seemed like something from an 80s pub team. In fairness, that’s way above the ladies skill level but the club aren’t giving themselves much of a chance with him at the helm.

Saw last 15 of 1st half. 0-2.
Being outclassed but not helping when giving ball away cheaply in our own half

It does feel like we’re a pub team against the odds going up against professionals when playing certain sides in the women’s league.

This is a very decent showing from the ladies, against a side I am sure who were expected to beat us comfortably.

Makes me laugh how this weekend they’ve been talking up how big the crowds were going to be for the first games in the women’s super league but fail to mention that the tickets have virtually been given away.If its supposedly on a par with the mens game,charge the same prices as the mens and see what crowds they get.

MTC it's a ridiculous comparison. No-one is saying they're at the same level as one another. The Chelsea manager after the match today was saying if their game is to develop they need to not give tickets away for free as in the long term it's not viable. Why people need to be so vicious about the women's game I don't know.
My daughter's U12s boys team (her and one other girl in it) played against an unbeaten U13s girls team today and beat them comfortably. I really think the issue is that most boys start playing at maybe 6 years old but a lot of girls haven't started until 10 or 11. It makes a huge difference to their development.

Cheap tickets are a great incentive to get young kids interested in watching and hopefully playing football.

`My daughter's U12s boys team (her and one other girl in it) played against an unbeaten U13s girls team today and beat them comfortably`.
What boy would ever want to play against a team of girls at that age?? Well unless it's non contact... we had a mixed charity 5 a side game about 15-10 years ago at work... a mixture of blokes and women... one of mt=y good mates a girl tried to hack me down and ended up breaking her foot... and then later on I booted a shot straight into the face of my then boss at the time in goal.. she just stood there like a statue and next thing she is picking her glasses out of the floor and her face... stick to playing your own sex...

“Why people need to be so vicious about the women's game I don't know.”
Because of the way it is rammed down your throat and we are sold the PR that it is on a par. The winners of the women’s World Cup are extremely political in their call for parity with men’s wages.
Also, it is on a par with, or maybe a bit below 13 yr old boys football.

If you don't want women's football being "rammed" down your throat, staying off a thread clearly discussing women's football is a good place to start.

"Rammed down your throat"?
I know you're living in the past, but there is more than one TV channel.
Has been since 1964.

I quite like it. Watch it when there’s not much else on and am glad there’s at least some football on. Always have watched it going back to the 90s when the Doncaster Belles were on. Would have even gone to the women’s cup final last season if it wasn’t on at the same time as a home game.
None of that makes my previous post inaccurate.

Then why moan about it as if you're being re-educated like Alex in A Clockwork Orange?

Sorry, I mistook your comment about it being rammed down your throat as a complaint.
