Women's World Cup

Interesting thought. What about a rugby player - use to catching a funny shaped ball and a bigger physical presence. I think the womens goalkeeping position will develop and change hugely in the next 5-10 years and you'll see a lot bigger, more mobile, more tactically aware keepers coming along. I don't have the stats but what about the keepers from the top nations like the US and England and the top European sides? How big are they and are they perhaps already bigger physically than say an Asian, African, South American counterpart

Hope solo, the former US keeper was good.
She was pretty useful with her fists as well and not just while playing

One of the worst own goals I have ever seen


Not sure if we should be slating players for these, I know in the men's game we could go full out on the guy for doing it, but in the women's game feels bit wrong.
I think if we want equality and parity then we have to hold them up to the same standards. That was a poor mistake, trying to guide it wide and it hits the wrong part of her foot and goes inside the post. It's not like we don't see daft errors in the men's game either though. *coughjohnstones*
 
I bet they do but I’ve not seen any like the scope in the men’s game.
That’s fair, although the iconic tattoo the tramp stamp got its name from somewhere. The fairer sex are equally capable of having trashy tattoos. Well on my estate they are at least 😂😂😂

Oh absolutely but I have more time for hidden tattoos than any that show. Classless.

" Women’s World Cup: USA head coach Jill Ellis 'in tears' as side register record win "

Do Americans have any respect? World champs just hammered an amateur team 13-0 on the world stage!


Meanwhile the dallas boys u15s superstars that they are https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...team-suffer-5-2-loss-FC-Dallas-U-15-boys.html

And this is why I struggle to take women's football serious.

USA beat Thailand 13-0. Yet nowt was said when Thailand beat Cambodia 11-0. Yet nowt was said when Cambodia beat East Timor I think it was 12-0. Women's football is exactly the same as men's football. If Utd could of got 13 past City under Fergies reign, he would of asked why did we not get 14. City have battered Watford in the FA cup, Burton and others yet nowt has been said. They have players going for a golden boot. Players have slated the USA for there result and have recieved death threats. Will watch the odd game but that's about it.
 
Hope Solo. How big is that chip on her shoulder?!

Praises the keeper (rightly so) but can't help but make a dig about a man getting a big contract off a similar performance.
