Memes aside, what are the biggest issues with females playing football?

Too few professional full time clubs. The difference between footballers who train full time and part time is staggering, which leads to ridiculous mismatches at international level.

Once enough sponsors get on board and more leagues turn full time, players can get a decent enough wage (as in £50k+ a year) to quit their day job and focus on football.

There are a handful of players in the WSL on good wages, but they're playing against part timers getting £100 a week. You can't improve when everyone around you is shite.

The USA team is what happens when you properly invest in the sport and allow football to become a career choice rather than a hobby.

back to t*nnis boris

god damn I miss Anouk

I think the midfield is the problem.
It's like the whole match is a counterattacking shit with 0 tacticts involved and they just go from one side of the pitch to the other

you're correct on defending

it's that lack of killer instinct. it seems like they "give up" on the play if you were watching men

I want to plant my seed in Anouk

Too slow and not physical enough.
Reaction times seem to be longer than that of the mens.
Really bad decision making
Appalling goalkeeping
Generally less skilled than the mens (there are flashes of technical brilliance)

You could improve it by reducing the pitch size, goal size, maybe drop a half down to 40mins, and it might speed things up a bit. Dont know what you could do with the other stuff though. I think women need to accept that theyre never going to be as good as men and then try to improve their product

Pretty much this. In the midfield, where the attacks are built up, they usually just hit some passes in order to get to the box as fast as possible, while not having a very good accuracy. Also they seem to tend hit crosses in midfield, which pretty often results in the loss of the ball.

And as boring as it seemed in men's football: They can't seem to play the posession game, which sometimes is vital, when you play a defensive opponent. But then again: They don't even really play defensive. They just run one way, then the other, after they lose the ball.

Also the goalkeeping is pretty bad. And that's not just about the atheletics. They sometimes even get tunneled. This is something that would make any male goalkeeper be embarressed for months.

game speed is so fucking slow

>I think women need to accept that theyre never going to be as good as men and then try to improve their product

I'm actually pretty sure most of the players know they wouldn't stand a chance against any male team. Hell there wasn't even a single example of a WMNT beating even a U15 team.

But I think you are right in wanting to make it more attractive. Tennis for example works, even though beacuse women's tennis has its own appeal. They tend to be more technical and less reliant on service, which on its own is completly different then men's tennis, but no less interesting to watch. In football however, they try to play like men, but simply can't, so a few rule changes could go a long way there.

there is not issue then can do whatver they want the problem is the media forcing it on us

Passing, shooting, athletism, dribbling, coordination, decision making, positioning, running speed/acceleration, crossing, tactics, tackling, goalkeeping, reaction times

Good points hanz
Ironically women’s pro tennis and golf is the best versions to watch if you’re an amateur guy looking to improve your game

not even sure there's anything "wrong" with it; people just need to accept the game is different to the men's game and has different qualities and things to look out for

players will get better and the quality will improve over time as there's more investment and more girls getting into football, but it's never going to look like men playing

So the real thing wrong with the sport is the players yelling "EQUALITY"

i think that's a different question
personally i think football associations and fifa more broadly have a wider remit than just funding the elite mens players and should be funding the ame at all levels for people of all sexes, ages and abilities

I think having goals of different size would be difficult to implement at amateur level though, unless you make them play on half-pitch like kids.

you can't make up the size and athleticism deficit but there is room for improvement in terms of technique and decision making. that will come from playing so regularly as kids that it's ingrained in the muscle memory.

Women are physically just not suited for football on a big pitch. Wide hips means they cant turn as easy as men.
Most importantly, you can see that their legs are physically not suited at all to hit a football. It's literally physically impossible for women to hit a ball hard, which is why a lot of their shots have the trajectory of a lob instead of a powerful shot.
To compensate, the pitch and goals should be significantly smaller, otherwise you'll keep seeing this parody on mens football instead of their own distinct sport.

There are too few pro clubs for dykes because women suck at soccer. So the demand from the public isn't there.

That's because, in spite of what other sports fanatics may try to tell you, football is a MUCH harder sport to play than the others due to the technical aspect of it. It doesn't matter if you're tall and fast like Usain Bolt, if you don't have feet coordination you're gonna be an embarrassment on the field. Women handle volleyball, basketball, hockey and tennis just fine because you use your hands. In football they look like kids on a playground.

there is no appeal in female tennis, if the GS didn't feature women, nobody would watch their separate women GS

>Pretty much this. In the midfield, where the attacks are built up, they usually just hit some passes in order to get to the box as fast as possible, while not having a very good accuracy. Also they seem to tend hit crosses in midfield, which pretty often results in the loss of the ball.

This is pretty much true for all lower level football

It's not "different", it's categorically worse. There is no advantage to watching a woman's game over a men's game

women lack spatial awareness, so they cant work out where their teammates are, that explains the poor passing, also they lack coordination and just arent as fluid in their game as men, football is also very taxing on the body where women just cant put in necessary work to make it look appealing, and tactics are jsut unfathomable to them

>This is pretty much true for all lower level football
isn't this the point that people you're arguing with are trying to get across? that the top flight of women's football is on par with amateur men's

Yeah, the foot dexterity required to not play football like an oaf needs to be inculcated during your earliest years of walking pretty much. In Europe and South America all boys start kicking balls as soon as they learn to run. You need that foundation to even start learning the intricacies of the game

It's boring. You're never going to have this beautiful curling shot struck from 25-30 feet out.

Name a single goal from this entire WWC that left you impressed. They're all either;
>Penalties
>Sloppy rebounds just absolutely botched by the keeper and defenders
>Own goals

The quality of play is just so low. Add on top of that the MASSIVE gap of skill. There's like 3 or 4 competitive women's soccer teams. The rest are fucking dogshit.

Every time the men's WC comes around you have a dark horse, an underdog whose physicality and play style gets them through. That doesn't exist in the WWC. The gap between the Top 5 teams and literally everyone else is too huge.

13-0? At the world cup?

Obviously, the only real debate to be had is whether the difference in quality is biologically inherent or a product of the smaller talent pool and lower level of professionalism

Its funny the outrage that the US Thailand match caused. I thought these types of scoreline were common in womens football

it's not the scoreline that caused the outrage. It was them celebrating like they scored a last minute winner when in reality they were already 9 goals up

>The USA team is what happens when you properly invest in the sport and allow football to become a career choice rather than a hobby
You get some bitches who lose to U-15 MlelS teams?

Memes aside, what are the biggest issues with Italian football?
In my opinion the defending part is the worst: apart from wasting ball possession in ridiculous ways (e.g. weak-ass passes that end among the lines), so many times it looks like they just lose interest (?) in the ball and don't go for it like the opposition does, just trot behind the opponent and watch what happens. And when they go for it, it is to make fouls. LMAO
Goalkeeping also is awful

maybe it's simplistic but I think it's just lack of explosive physical power, and everything that comes with that.
>a more cautious approach is favourable in every single scenario
>if your cautious approach doesn't work, the chances of a burst of energy rescuing the situation are lower
they can still run a lot and play positionally just like men, so the field is still largely covered, but there isn't much else going on.

if only they had big tiddies and no bra, then i could watch all day. why are footy women chestlets?

Big boobs =/= being athletic

>muh directly comparing men and women

USA are miles ahead of any other Womens team as a direct result of proper investment.

absolutely fair, but the thread was about the entertainment value of women's football as a whole, regardless of which team is the best. you're arguing about something else. the uswnt is still pretty grim to watch.

But what's the point of investing hundreds of millions to have an end product so shitty? Quite literally a $0 investment in a Brazilian favela would yield a better team

Not having children

They don't have big tits so i don't care

>biggest issues with females playing football
They can only achieve the level of 14 year old boys, which is substandard for any "professional" team. They are slow, uncoordinated, and boring as fuck to watch. That's why nobody watches boys teams and sticks with the professionals.

They lack the inherent competitiveness and violence of men when it comes to sport. Those who do have it though don't know how to use appropriately and instead just act like thugs on and off the field.

Maybe it's a lack of education when it comes to women on sportsmanship, maybe its genetics but either way the U18 Boys play a better game than the National level women regardless of the sport.

Women's play is shallow. Women's soccer amounts to running, running with the ball, or kicking the ball. There is no variety. Girl teens would compete with WWC teams. They would flap their arms and "ermph" into challenges in the exact same way. The keepers would watch the ball fly back and forth across the area in the exact same way. They would run at post-pubescent fat deposit speed in the exact same way.

Men would rape a boys' team. Men would muscle boys off the ball and fuck them up in challenges. Men would change pace and be gone in 1 touch. Men would shoot missiles from outside the box and the boy keeper would be too scared to react correctly.

worst part is they dont worship my hard cock and let me impregnate their bellies

I know you memeing slavbro but you and I know the only reason russia is still up is due your strong woman.

please refrain from sexism

...

i have no problem with women playing and even enjoyed watching some women's game for what it was. as soon as entitlement and politics became infused into the game, i was out. i literally can't watch the games now knowing that they're seriously trying to take advantage of our warped social climate to get millions of dollars that they don't deserve. i can't help but feel that their campaign will soon be seen as a backfiring effort. i've watched arena football for the novelty, but if i found out they demanded equal pay with the NFL simply because they play the same sport, i'd nope the fuck out.

>women’s basquet
You literally picked the worst women’s sport.
The only women’s sports that should be allowed are as follows:
Volleyball
Beach volleyball
Diving
Gymnastics
Equestrian
Deep throating
Tennis
Golf

It will never be a valid career choice for women. It’s either a hobby or a charity case like the Paralympics only the disability is being female
