in _iew of the fact that most of the olympic venues are only making half of stadium capacity available, and they cant sell all the tickets, what are peoples _iews on womens football as a whole.

i am attempting to start a serious thread so no jokes about taking off their tops after scoring either.

Correct me if I;m wrong but isn't the England Womens Football team more successful than the Men's.

The prob is it doesn't get the exposure that Men's football gets

thats debatable..

if you mean they have twice reached finals in euros then possibly but then they have never got past qtr finals in world cup so not in that case.

also the highest fifa ranking by the women is 6th place and the men are currently 4th so overall i think the answer to that is 'no they arnt'!!

and they dont get the exposure because they dont get the sponsorship, because in general people dont want to pay to watch it.

personally i think the standard is quite good but it would be interesting to see them play aagainst mens teams from different levels of the game and see how they fare.

But when the women score it will be the men rushing to hug and kiss them

Well a few thoughts on this.

I believe that theres nearly 40000 tickets sold for the 2 matches in Cardiff today, so personally I think thats a pretty good crowd for a sport where the Olympics isn't the stand out tournament in the sport, i.e the World Cup is more important.

I actually think the British Womens's team do look pretty good based on seeing the highlights of their friendly against Sweden last week compared to the British men's performance against Brazil. By comparison to the rest of the world though, I am sure the Women's USA and Japan teams are considerably better than Britain, so we'll do well to get out of the group and then to make progress in the tournament.

I'm actually going to watch the Mens British team play at Old Trafford tomorrow and would consider going to watch the women, if the match times fitted in with work.

Outside of the Olympics though, women's football is secondary to mens football in UK for many reasons including historical and simply mens football attracts the money and much larger fan support handed down from father to nowadays sons and daughters. That's very unlikely to change in UK, even though Womens football is now in year 2 of a summer premier league which includes well known English club names like Liverpool, Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea.

i get your point though. the mens team havent exactly covered them selves in glory lately but then we are in a transitional period with a new manager and new ideas. personally i think Woy will do a good job with the mens team and Hope Powell does a great job with the women.

The reason i posted is because a friend of my niece plays for England and is in the GB team (name witheld for obvious reasons) and i am interested in people _iew on the womens game.

Their have been many attepts to start up fully professional leagues and most have floundered. is it because it is seen as a man game where women shouldnt be included?? dont forget it was actually banned by the FA for 50 years..

The guys will look lovely in those bikinis

Personally, in these days of equality, I think all olympic team events should be made up of mixed teams.

Actually Kenny, every single event is being carried live by BBC. Theres the normal BBC1 and BBC 2, but there are 24 additional BBC channels on satalite starting at something like Channel 472 (not sure about that) which means that every single event will have a live stream. I suspect BBC1 will be joining it all together and flicking from 1 event to another in a normal sports program mode ie 800m final followed by quick look at long jump followed by 1500m followed by quick look at pole vault etc.

These individual channels though will cover for eg pole vault on Channel 1, beach volley ball on channel 2, yacht race on channel 3 etc

I love talking about women's football and exposure. I think all women's football should be played with the minimum of personal protection and if it's warm, no kit at all. Every game would be a sell out but they'd have to draw the line at letting women play when it's blob week. The game would be stopped too often for a physio to attend the 'wound'.

Oi! I resemble that remark!

Why do think the FA let women play footy in the first place. It's cos they knew it would fuel a whole new raft of fantasies for men who had been previously unable to link sex to soccer for fear of being called a poofter.

There is men's football on before the opening ceremony too, to get through all the games (with rest periods, etc) they need to be started a few days early.

So much for superlative British organisation... The North Korean women's team walked off the pitch in protest at their names being displayed along with a SOUTH KOREAN flag.

I think these games will be remembered as a bit of a joke tbh... from the opening ceremony with a bunch of sheep and some Olde Worlde English cricketers to whatever other mishaps and security blunders yet to be uncovered. How many billions has been wasted on this event?

One of our family members plays womens football for a very well known team. She is one tough player and makes some of the pro males look like amateurs.

And no, she isn't a dyke before anyone asks

Nothing wrong with women's football as long as it doesn't infringe on their cooking and cleaning time. It would be an absolute disaster if one of them women broke their leg and couldn't climb the stepladder to clean the inside windows.
