Goal sizes have been unchanged since forever and I would imagine most keepers in the old days were around the 6ft or less mark?

 

Some of the keeping in the old days was howling as well Tbf. 

 

Woman are still a good bit smaller in average than men, always have been.

Yes it is positive, home team against Hibs though.

Currently Scottish football has probably similar crowds to league one football.

on toniights Viewing about an hour, it doesn't compare to the English game for me and I wouldn't pay to watch - unless I had someone i knew playing...

Sorry I don't get the hype, it's a different game and really not that good.

Very smart ... but not very clever. Tube

Bad miss from the China forward player early on, taking a touch rather than shoot into an unguarded net.

 

Germany beginning to dominate as expected and look dangerous from set-pieces.

Ha ha. No it’s like chalk and cheese and not worth the hype. 

I guess as I’ve got nothing positive to say, I should have said nowt...

I'm only messing with you btw. 

 

I do agree that the hype (especially from the BBC) is nauseating. It's got a long way to go but as more women get into it the standard will raise. I just think as fans of Scottish football we have a cheek turning our nose up at lower/other/different levels when many people could make those very same accusations about our game.

 

It's the level it currently is and it's best to either ignore it or try to enjoy it. I'm looking forward to the game tomorrow more than tonight...simply because the girls tomorrow will likely give their absolute all and play with their heart rather than the overpaid wasters that will be on show tonight if they've bothered to make themselves available.

I agree. Men’s goals are built for keepers like De Gea and Courtois. Female keepers shouldn’t be asked to play in the same size of goal.

 

So...they're not equal to the men?

No worries bud. 

I find the hype doesn’t match the product (no where near)  and I feel it’s a bit forced, by an equality agenda. The press and tv coverage    , particularly through the beeb, to me is forced. 

I accept that EPL vs SpL gap is massive, but it’s still the same sport and atmosphere... this is for different customers and not for me.

China using the classic tactic against Germany of booting them at every opportunity. 

It’s working though, they’ve had the best chances too.

Female basketball players have lower baskets and female hurdlers have lower hurdles, but I think you knew that was my point.

 

Folk who can’t distinguish between the physical differences and their equal rights as people are probably virgins.

Funny, I thought the ref was German, the way Chinese tackles were winning the ball and ref giving freekicks for Germany???

Some of the advantages were ridiculous as well, one of them the ball was moved up field 50 yards and once Germany lost possession pulled it all the way back to the centre circle?

I think the men's game is bad for biased refs, but it looks like the woman's is the same!!!!!

I also thought she reached with the wrong hand. The ball was going into the top left corner and she reached across her body with her right hand. Going with her left would have been better. 

 

I thought the penalty for the equaliser was soft (she was protecting her face) but I’ve only seen it once.

The ball only has to hit your hand now inside  the box and it's a penalty

 

Not a lot the defender could do about it from that range

Missed today's games. Will sit down with the wee one tomorrow and cheers on Scotland. 

 

Huge task to get anything from the England game but live in hope.

Actually looking forward to this game more than I did last nights. 

 

More a reflection on the men's set up than the women being great, but still. I never thought I'd think like that, ever.

It’s just started to rain here, along with thunder and some lightning.

 

Hopefully it’ll clear the air as it’s been really muggy all morning.

Similar ‘red card’ boat for me, albeit on another thread.  :sad:

There’s two ways I could take that.

 

Neither are appealing.

Nah, use your imagination. 

 

More than two ways to "take it"

The authorities won’t be happy until defenders tie their arms behind their back.  ****ing shameless.

The decision making puts a lot of the men to shame. 

 

Good intelligence shown by a lot of these players.
