If you find it boring and slow then I question why you were watching it in the first place but I can’t really say I agree - it’s quite exciting and some of skill levels are equal if not better than the men’s game. I agree on the fact the men add more power and physical strength but that’s about it really. We have to remember that these women earn peanuts compared to men. And just a few years ago they worked a full time job, probably geared children, took care of the home and played football when they had time. Therefore had a lot less time to develop their football career, let alone have access to the best science in terms of diet, physio and health care. And all the above is coming from a guy!

Well you put it out here and got people expressing their views it's all about perception? I've watched some of it just to see what it is like as really 1st time it's been on mainstream TV!
There was one instance where a player did a cruyff turn all be it slower and the female commentator actually said thought was better than original one? Yes they have skill but at times a bit ott with analysis, Anyway be switched on Tues see if they do better than their Male counterparts

Just like women’s tennis, it’s not as quick and powerful but it’s still ok to watch as long as you take it for what it is.

I have no problems with people expressing their views mate - some of the comments to my post were quite bad for example - having time to manicure etc between shots on goal! Anyways, looking forward to tomrw night to see the outcome.

Would anyone one on here seriously follow a team in the WSL alongside following Cardiff, it's not going to happen is it for loads of reason mainly time and money from a fans point of view.

It's nauseating the way they were trying to portray it as being equal to the real World Cup and pretending that everyone was on the edge of their seats about it.
As I said earlier it's just the latest social engineering project by the traitor elite and it won't be long before they're demanding equal pay to Ronaldo and Bale and changing the rules do you've got to have a couple of women in every team.
What can we expect next , the gay World Cup or the tranny World Cup ?
