    *the obligatory female joke*

    But nah. no diving. The women that play football are passionate about it. Not doing it for money.

    Diving = attempting to win at all costs. Winning = more money (for seven gram rocks?)

    Even as a football fan, I just don't give a shit about women's football. Probably because the level of play is so much worse than men's football...

    The goalkeepers are terrible. Some goals are embarassing.

    why has there never been a serious try to have coed teams?
    i mean its 2011 why is there still woman only devisions
    even in the god damn Olympics theres separate female version of sports

    this reminds me of something said during the civil rights era

    separate is NOT equal!

    all that said go USA cream the glow in the dark Japanese

    Because female athletes can't compete on the same level as male athletes. It's really that simple.

    that is whole hardly INCORRECT and sexist thinking

    ive seen quite a few woman who can whip some ass

    if you remove steroids out of the mens sports witch 99.999999999999% of male athletes are dopers

    then there might be some actual real proof that woman who do sports since middle school can level a man in American football EU football ect

    Actually, it's more like a proven fact. I'm sure there could be like one or two women who could compete on the top men's level, but most of them couldn't.

    And it's not like there isn't doping in women's sports :rolleyes: I don't know about women's football, but definitely in track & field (and they're still nowhere near men's results in any event).

    never said dopeing was scarce in womans sports just said that damn near every person on a mens team has or is dopeing most of the time so bad only the owners arnt dopeing

    its NOT a proven fact that woman a weaker then men its a STEREOTYPE

    lets look at a sport thats fairly even in coed gymnastics
    the woman and men are about equal in gymnastics
    and the woman in gymnastics are well mussed and well toned

    or volley ball the woman in that sport are well toned and highly competitive

    i can tell you this wouldn't wanna get in a fight with woman from ether sport because they can whip some ass

    angelwolf71885: I agree with you to a point. The problem lies in the ages, over 21 I totally agree. Under that age I dunno if I would be so certain.

    It's been fought here tooth and nail in junior hockey (co-ed) reaching back to the 70's and it's always been denied. Only exception I have heard of is the NHL and Manon Rheaume, she was goalie for the Panthers during exhibition games for one season, the media called it a publicity stunt. Heck I just thought she was cute :)

    Back to the Women's World Cup, yeah the goal keeping isn't stellar, it's good enough for them but it wouldn't last a heartbeat against the guys, still though a HECK of a lot better refs making calls then World Cup last year.

    "its NOT a proven fact that woman a weaker then men its a STEREOTYPE"
    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Are you talking about physical strength? If so this is the stupidest shit I have ever read.


    That said, good on em for playing fair. Mens soccer is ruined by dives and taking advantage of penalties. I haven't really watched since the last World Cup but there were some pretty low moves getting pulled there I thought.

    I'm enjoying the womens cup, its far more entertaining than WNBA.

    And yes, not as much fake injury dive bullshit as found in mens soccer. Some of the falls those dudes fake is just completely ridic
