Corner, just hit it as high as you can into the middle of the goal area so your tall centre-forward can just nod it past the little goalkeeper.

lxsln Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Were there any spectators at the match? How the hell can they demand "equal terms", when they don't generate any money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Haiti deserved a draw against England. They were far better in transition. I can’t see us doing much from that viewing though Haiti could be a bit of a surprise package. The debate about pay should be pretty simple. You get paid in line with what you generate, a bit like a business eh. I do think that more money should be put into girls grassroots football. I’d also support top ups from the men’s game to ensure that women players can become FT pros which hopefully boosts their game. I just can’t get away with players demanding equal pay.

Because of balance of play? Clearly not. Because of xG? Clearly not. Because of goals scored? No. Because of sportsmanship? With all that diving and feigning injury? No. Because of socioeconomic disparity? Yes. Because of population? Yes. Because they should have scored? Maybe, although England should have scored too, as shown by xG. Because they arguably had the best player on the pitch? Because you think it would have been nice if they did? Sure. Which was the reason you thought they deserved it?

leffe186 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Portuguese RB/RW doesn’t know how to do a proper throw-in. Can’t believe she hasn’t been pulled up yet. Ref’s been very good otherwise. Hasn’t been fooled by players backing in and just falling over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally 1 team has 'demanded' equal pay, amd its the USA women who just wanted the same as the men get. Given they have won the last 2 World cups, are the favorites to win this one, and have dominated women's football for years, they had a pretty good argument! Assuming all players think they should get equal wages is just lazy and false Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I'm gonna be briefly sexist, if this is a safe space for that. I cannot imagine how terrible the lady refs must be. Not because they're women, mind you. Just because they get so many fewer opportunities to improve compared to the men, and the men are dooooooogshit. The lady refs must be absolutely tragic.

That’s not sexist. It’s an interesting question. The other questions would be - does experience necessarily make a referee better beyond a certain point? And is the issue not more likely to be a smaller pool of refs to choose from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) This isn't great, Jamaica seem like they haven't a clue, they knock it to the forward, then expect the forward to basically go on a Messi/Mbappe run and do it all, they sit 30 yards behind watching rather than supporting the forward. Neither side take much time, everything is rushed, it's like nerves are on display. Edited July 23, 2023 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lish007 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) Don't think it's sexist to say the referees aren't very good. But it's down to training and quality of standards which unfortunately, is not standardized across women's football at the moment.
