exactly
FMD - look at the players - they're not much bigger than the women ffs
if they get their body position right they'll either draw a foul or put the player off enough to avoid a goal
apologists ffs
So the Matildas will lose to any team with a tall striker lol
Since when are all the Matildas midgets ffs? 150cm and 50kg? **** off
If the Matilda's played in lingerie they would have beaten any group of 15 year old lads very easily.

i think the kids would have beaten themselves
Dunster and Q, are your writing for each other now. Talk about setting that one up!
Calm down Monz. I was referring to your comment on crosses only. I thought i had highlighted that particular line from your quote. Don't go giving yourself an aneurysm mate.
What i meant was... Saying that they would have won by not allowing crosses was as simple a view point as saying that they only lost because of the Jets height advantage. Simples!
yeah but lets see those Jets boys do the washing ey.
Women's football 5 5 5
What a joke.
They want to be compensated more.
For what??
Any money they get now is over payment and charity from leftists do gooders
Love thy neighbour hey?
Thats a load shite member. You yourself have said in the past that they should be paid based on what they bring to the game. If you think they bring nothing than you're blind, which is fine, but don't just write them off because they have to sit down to pee! That's bullshite.
Young girls enjoy football, the Matilda's and the W League are something for them to aspire to.
The A league has avg attendances of around 13,000. The Women's league in the US averages just over 5000. That's not bad. The MLS averages about 21000. The Women's Bundesliga averages about 1000 as does the English women's league.

Have a look at the attendance figures on that list. There is a decent market to work with there.
Mostly tho, i don't know why we care about them getting a payrise. It won't cost us any money, the increase figure they want is minuscule compared to what gets spent in our game. Take some money from the failed rowing club that couldn't make it to the Olympics and give it to the girls.
I was probably more pumped when the Matildas were crowned Asian Champions than when the Socceroos did it a few years later.
Overall, I probably have more respect for the Matildas because they have always done it the hard way and never complained about it.

Watch the girls now and then but am often disappointed. It just looks a different game, so slow sometimes - and goalkeeping, even at high levels, is often very poor. Tha said in women's sport it's a damn sight more exciting than netball, hockey and basketball.
TBH I find the young kids when they are playing mixed football more entertaining.
Not recall saying ever that they should be paid in accordance with what they bring to the game. But let's take that and go with it
Based on getting beaten 7-0 by a bunch of schoolboys then they probably should be handing back every cent football and the taxpayers have provided them
Only fair based on results??
Apart from ultra distance swimming what sport is there where 15 year old boys can't beat the best women in the world with relative ease ?
Anyway - I'd be a lot more concerned with the favours governments do the banking and finance sector than the crumbs they provide to women's football in this country.
Dick waving?
This isn't the best XI of 15 year olds in the country
It is a collection of 15 year olds from the 6th largest city in the country
It is not even the best XI the 6th largest metropolis can come up with when you consider the EJ are missing kids whose parents can't afford the costs are missing kids who would rather play out of the EJ program and it also includes kids who are their on reasons other than merit.
It is also a program that has many failings and is struggling
In spite of all this they whooped the arse of the best female players in the country
That to me says a hell of a lot about the inferiority of the woman's game in this country
My background is in tennis and I'd be confident that there would be 15 year old males without a racquet deal or any chance of one day turning professional that would have no trouble beating any woman on the planet. [ Except for those hot Euro chicks on the tour - for obvious reasons]
So what ? The women's game makes a shit load of money and creates a living for a lot of people. That in a team sport the same holds true doesn't surprise me given that the differences are going to be magnified even more so than they would in an individual sport.
