England thumped Scotland 6-0 and a couple of Arsenal ladies played well.
Did sort of remind me of watching Aldershot in the 80's but with better finishing.

Isnt it just that they are **** at it?
I watched ten minutes and it looked like somebody had televised a pub game. The goalkeepers are appalling and the defending pretty bad. Also, nowhere near enough cheating and diving.
Women's cricket is also unwatchable.
Women are just **** at sport. The tennis is borderline watchable but then I don't like tennis.
They had to bring the boundaries in for girl cricket. :hehe: Mind you, I remember watching it before they did and there were literally no boundaries ever. Jesus it was dull.
Women are smaller, slower, weaker, less aggressive, less co-ordinated and have poorer visual acuity and spacial awareness than men. Of course their bloody sports are rubbish compared to the male versions!
These are simply biological facts. Why is it even controversial to state this?
Yes, unfortunately, people have become convinced that equality means ignoring demonstrable biological realities in favour of dogma.
And women always point to outliers as though they were the norm. "What about Serena Williams?', they'll say - ignoring the fact that a/ Serena Williams is a physical freak and b/ that even despite that freakery, she would lose to the top 100 male players.
:hehe: Really? Oh, dear.
Just looked it up. He warmed up with 'a round of golf and a couple of shandies'. :hehe:

John McEnroe got in trouble a couple of weeks ago for describing Serena (in glowing terms) as the best women's tennis player ever. He was questioned by the interviewer as to why he couldn't just say she's the best tennis player ever and he replied "errr, because she'd be about 700 on the men's circuit"
Cue the accusations of sexism.
EDIT: Doh! Didn't read the whole thread. :homer:
John McEnroe got into a bit of trouble the other week for suggesting that in the mens game they would be ranked about six or seven hundred. I didn't hear that 'thing in Australia' being mentioned in the shítstorm. JMac did say in his defence "Am I not allowed to have an opinion?".
This is why sensible people always talk about the 'best pound-for-pound' fighter in the world rather than making silly, meaningless statements that ignore the reality that a tiny man like Mayweather wouldn't even scratch most heavyweights and would very likely be killed were one to land a blow on him.
So must it be with female tennis players. Male tennis players are demonstrably better players as they would beat their female equivalents. Thus, a woman cannot be the best tennis player in history by definition.
Why is it a cop out? It's simply an acknowledgement that it would be absurd to say that Sugar Ray Robinson was a better fighter than Muhammad Ali since - had they ever fought - Ali would almost certainly have won due to his greater size, weight, strength and reach.
