It was really very funny and pretty much summed up why nobody watches women's football.

It did lead me to wonder if there is there a bigger disparity in competence, co-ordination and sheer athleticism between male and female versions of any sport than that which exists between men's and women's football? I mean women's tennis is obviously rubbish, but its players do at least look vaguely as though they are at least playing the same sport as the men. By contrast, women's football is virtually unrecognisable as the same game.
I saw a bit of that as well, but I was unable to draw any humour fom it, because last week i read several articles bemoaning the disparity in wages between men and women's football.

Yes, the Loonies are demanding equal pay for women 'footballers'.
