I think it suffers in comparison. They put the opening game on straight after the Champions League final! What dimwit scheduled that?
In all seriousness, I think the women's game has really improved but it will never be an exact replica of the men's game. For example, on average, the participants are smaller - take the keepers for example. Buffon and Ter Stegen are a huge presence in the box but the women last night looked like kids in comparison. The pace of the game is slower but SO much better than it was even, say, ten years ago.
I know it sounds patronising, it really isn't meant to. I think the product has to be enjoyed for what it is. I enjoyed what I watched last night and will be watching (at least) the England team. The England men's team (Charlie aside) have a walk-over of a group and nothing much to play for tonight. I'd rather spend the time watching the women's team play.
Right on, sisters?

The thing that really made the last Women's World Cup was the performance of the Japanese women's team. On their way to the final they beat all the big teams (bigger in name and bigger in size), including the German women's team that had not lost a match in the World Cup Finals in over 10 years.
hey GUYS, you would have to have the soul of child sex fiend hiver, not to have your appetite whetted by the google banner for the womens world cup today.
whoo yeah !..dont know about you GUYS, but im having the girls over and getting a stuffed crust pizza in , dips, chopped vegatables, white wine and missy elliot on my midi system to kick the whole shebang off in style.
FAIR PLAY, UNITY, EQUALITY , DIVERSITY is hot wired into my DNA, and i expect the girls to pull it off, as it were , with aplomb.
looking forward to dj, bianca gascoine and her bbc world cup mix featuring bel biv devo and beyonce at its cornerstone. boys I, must Warrrrrn yoooooooooou, its poison.poison.poison

I think there's no problem with having a women's world cup. Doesn't interest me though. I (and probably most people) don't want to watch people about my standard playing football, i want to watch the best players on the planet, world class talents like Chris Smalling, Jordan Henderson, Reg Vardy.
Oh.

england vs france.. a most unedifying spectacle .tactics all to bastard buggery!!.
the Iron Duke of Chingford was not amused, in my day(1815), we would have used a battery of 12 pound cannons , enlisted irish and black infantry ( in defensive 30 mans squares ), muskett volleys and flashing sabres in the afternoon sun to give old Boney's devil whores a lesson they wouldnt forget and scatter them to the rungs of hell .
depending on scout reports, the Iron Duke of Chingford would have played the ace in the pack around the 83rd minute, and sent in 6000 shock troops and prussians in breastplates from behind the ridge, into the besieged frenchie rearguard .
With the Dukes victory assured, he would let rip from his steed (fishpools sofa) , and cry 'fix bayonetts and finish the job lads!' ,before giving the order for the plundering of the fallen gauls corpses and harvesting of their teeth for commemorative purposes
Being an Englishman, and gracious in his victory over the conquered froggies , The Iron Duke would send the order while nursing his bloodlust , to keep some alive for His pleasure hives, especially that tall black amazon bird the number 2, Renard.
the butchers bill may have been high with huge casualties on both sides , but it would have been a price i was prepared to pay before settling down to watch the second season of 'falling skies' on box set.
I may even promote one of my east india militia to sergeant.

Turgid, turgid stuff from the England women. Very poor ball control, very bad decision-making on the ball, not enough players making themselves available for short passes so the player on the ball had to make badly-judged long passes that gave the ball away.

Sounds like most of our games.
