Why would a woman have less agility and balance than a man? Ever watched the gymnastics at the Olympics?
Why would a woman have less agility and balance than a man? Ever watched the gymnastics at the Olympics?Is the power of a shot a physical or technical attribute? Not every technical attribute, but quite a lot are influenced by physical ability. For example, dribbling relies a lot upon agility and balance.
I watched the Germany v Austria game last night. There were moments of nice play.
but what stuck out was Austrias keeper constantly playing out of the back when Germany were pressing high… inevitable kicks it straight at a German striker for the second goal.
moments before that Germany straight through, put the ball on a plate for the striker to side foot wide of an empty net.
it’s the sort of football we’d have been outraged if Burge had done it at league two level, or Biamou missed at that level.
Yes the standard has improved but watching things like does show it up now and then.
They do - but that nearly happened all night. Generally once the high press is known it resorts to less riskier passesMen’s teams also screw up playing from the back?
I take you back to our win against Brentford-they kept doing it even when it kept putting them under pressureThey do - but that nearly happened all night. Generally once the high press is known it resorts to less riskier passes
its elite level football, the ability to adapt is massive.
like I said it was entertaining, but when you’re expecting the cock up, it takes away.
Yeah, but I think that was maybe not a good example. Last night was sub par to many of the other games in that respect I think.I watched the Germany v Austria game last night. There were moments of nice play.

I've seen lots of men's teams continue to try to play from the back when clearly it isn't working. Arsenal at the start of last season springs to mind.Yeah, but I think that was maybe not a good example. Last night was sub par to many of the other games in that respect I think.
The quality wasn't very high a lot of the time.
The keepers on the whole are definitely a bit dodgy in the womens game.
The thing that bugged me last night was the cynical fouls and shirt pulling etc. That needs to be eradicated from the entire professional game across the board. They really should be red card offences. Absolutely no attempt to play the ball. Just a stop the player at all costs approach .
I hate to see it .
I had vague recollections, so looked it up.
Born Kicking.
If we're going to sign anyone I want it to be Caldentey from Spain. I made 4 or 5 Al Dente puns during the game (my favourite being that she'd over-cooked it after a misdirected pass). Anyhow, absolutely nothing from the household. I reckon I've got enough to keep me going for at least a season.
I was hoping he'd go to the Tiwi Islands and sign for Tuyu Buffaloes.Unfortunately Brentford have just signed Mee, so I'm no longer available.

Walker out Russo in? She's prob stronger tbf lolI have to say that back heelthat's a quick mind there.
3 inch or 5 inch heels?I have to say that back heelthat's a quick mind there.

Dutch keeper mind you..As long as it’s not Moore out, Swedish keeper in !
She's a good keeper. Only thing I would say, in every game I have seen her play for England she has had very little to do.She had a mare last night! Interesting a few people have picked up on keeper mistakes as a key part of what is holding the game back. Thought in contrast our keeper had a stormer last night great reactions to tip over the bar.
As good as they can be technically, let’s really not kid ourselves. The tempo is absolutely nowhere near the mens game. England women would struggle to get out of League Two - which may still be pretty generous.
I agree with this but if they want to keep them separate then they should stop comparing records between the men & womenIt is a different tempo. But then so too is women's tennis and women's cricket and women's athletics.
I like cricket and I quite like tennis and athletics. When I watch women play or perform in events, I just accept it's a different sport. I don't feel a need to compare.
Yeah, I agree and I don't like the "it's coming home" tag either. That was all about the pain of the England side and the lack of success since 1966 in the men's game. It doesn't make any sense to my mind in the women's equivalent.I agree with this but if they want to keep them separate then they should stop comparing records between the men & women
Thank you, Kenneth Wolstenholme for that epic piece of insightful observation.The first goal was brilliant 2nd goal a bit of a scramble!
