Can't understand all the new fuss about Ladies Football. BBC TV and Radio 5 are jacking off on it endlessly, obviously they have bought the rights to the World Cup and want to really milk it. Must be such a minority interest - will be interesting to see the viewing figures against how much they paid.
Yes the standard has improved, but the media are in general, too scared - of a sexist backlash - to admit it's still of a very poor standard and awful to watch. Doesn't matter how much they try and force it upon the public, the interest will never be of an equivalent standard to the men's game. A good men's pub team would beat the winners of the women's World Cup, which just about says it all. That being said, it has done wonders for female participation in the sport, so that is a positive.
