markjazzbassist Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 U.S. Is playing Australia right now, 1-1. USA and Germany are favorites to win it. Outsiders are France Brazil Sweden and Japan. Go yanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee_in_LA Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Team kinda slept through the 1st half but Rapinoe was an engine out there and her second goal where everyone else looked tired really showed that. Solid win, on to the next one markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'll be honest; I don't know how anyone can sit through women's football. The standard is pretty poor. The outfield players aren't so bad but the goalkeeping of the women is (on the whole) truly embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Womens football has to be the worst thing in the world to watch, it's absolutely awful. As Romey says the goalkeeping is nothing short of laughable. Women are brilliant at so many things but football will never be one of them.

markjazzbassist Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 romey and pad i think you don't like it because england sucks. if your nation was perennially 1 or 2 in the world and winning world cups, i'm sure you'd watch some matches.

Matt Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 romey and pad i think you don't like it because womens football sucks. Pretty sure they'd agree with that. It's nothing to do with the success of the national team, it is simply terrible football 95% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's light years ahead of what it was thirty/forty years ago Mark; the Cup Final was televised on occasion.....and if you think the current incarnation is bad you should've seen some of the stuff on offer back then. Comical. I'll see if I can find any video but it's probably all been burned, by the players most likely . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ifeel exactly the same about Everton ladies, I have absolutely no interest in it and would sooner wipe my arse with a broken bottle than watch it.

Paddock Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) To put this in perspective I've just flicked it onto see the score, my 8 year old came walking in the living room, wrinkled his nose up and said " Dad, what are you doing watching womens football for?" The look of disgust on his face is enoughto tell me I'm not wrong in my assumption. Edited June 9, 2015 by Paddock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're ranked sixth in the World so I don't see how that equates to "sucking" . I'll watch a bit of it if I've nothing better to do, not as dismissive as the other guys. Shame there are no Everton players in the team for the first time in god knows how long; though there are several who've jumped ship to teams who are putting money into it now (eg Liverpool/City). markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually formed it himsef Mike, he watches youtube every day, football bloopers, great goals etc. he's 8 and he's already waffling on about foreign players I've never heard of and when I tell himI have no idea who they are he looks at me like I'm a martian. He has asked me about womens football a few times and haspicked up on the goal keeping all by himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the one who dragged me into it accusing me of not liking it because they are not very good. This thread holds about as much interest to me as the "USA national team" thread.

I see your point, but I'm not talking about men's football or the difference between men and women's football, but if we were, I'd argue that our women's team has been more fun to watch in the last year than Everton has been.
