+Gepard Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Its a bias, that women cant play football (okay, i know in the USA this game is called soccer, but for the rest of the world it is football). In this day, we have here in Germany the World Championship and i must say, that i have seen a lot of good matches. Today won Japan against Mexico 4:0 and it was a brilliant match. I have seldom seen such a good match. France vs Canada was yesterday 4:0 too and it was also a very good game. It is worth to see it on TV. In Europe you can see it free at Eurosport TV channel.

Capitaine Vengeur Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 More Eros, less egos. Acts, not craps. Women's game can be a fine alternative to the ugly spoiled bastards of the male soccer. Quote
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Soccer is a girls sport anyway! That is why our girls are so good! Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I think this is the first time me and Crazyhourse agreed on something in a long time. one thing though we have women here who can play the real deal also http://www.iwflsports.com/ Quote
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 WhiteKnight we agree on a whole lot more than you think! You are one of my oldest CA friends! Oh and women's football does rock! I wish the USA remains sucky at "World Football" so I can keep rooting for France and Germany! Ale Le Bleus! Quote
Lt. James Cater Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) One of the few internationally elite levels that the USA plays at is in Women's football. Two time World Cup winners. Edited July 2, 2011 by Lt. James Cater Quote
+Gepard Posted July 2, 2011 Author Posted July 2, 2011 And the US girls had won today. Lets see how far they are coming. They play a good football. Fascinating is the japanese team. Good were France and Sweden. England and Germany are more or less disappointing. If i had to vote now, i would bet for Japan. They played the best Football so far. But does they have the energy to fight down teams like Germany or USA? Quote
Lt. James Cater Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 It'll be something to see if Japan can go far since they will eventually face some serious powerhouses. Quote
+Gepard Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Brasil won yesterday and Australia too. Okay, they were the better teams, but they had a 12th teamplayer, called referee. I dont know how the referees are selected for the championship. I have seen very good referees, but also some who were blind like a mole! In match Germany vs Nigeria, the south korean referee acted onesided to favor the Nigerians. In match Brasil vs Norway the referee favored Brasil, and dont punished harsh fouls. In match Australia vs Ivory Coast an australian girl catched the ball by hand in front of the goal and the referee smiled in the camera and the match went on. Quote
TX3RN0BILL Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Call me a latino macho for all you want (well I'm part portuguese anyways) but I think women's football is pretty funny compared to men's. As for the referees, I must say that there is no excuse to not have another referee in the TV room with access to all the cameras and playbacks and in radio communication with the main referee on the field. But no football organization seems to be willing to implement such a measure just because of the political aspect of football. So the "the spectators saw it, the television viewers saw it, only the referee apparently didn't see it" issue continues and I don't think it will ever end... hence why the team managers often say, "this is football"... yeah, kinda like a foot on the balls, for all those that like rules to be enforced like they should... Quote
Lt. James Cater Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 So now it's down to two. USA vs Japan. This is a game i really wish i could see but i'll be at work. The USA has experience, power, and pace VS Japan that has technique and speed. The keys will be Japanese swiftness and passing vs a sometimes unsettled USA backfield and a huge American advantage for headers resulting from corners and setpieces. Quote
xclusiv8 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Lets face it guys. We all watch for a totally different reason Quote
ShrikeHawk Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Nice pics, xclusiv! Not only do they have guts, they got looks too. Go US women! Quote
xclusiv8 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Nice pics, xclusiv! Not only do they have guts, they got looks too. Go US women! Actually they are not US. The first one is Swedish, second one is Mexican, third is French and last picture is of the Russian female football team Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Actually they are not US. The first one is Swedish, second one is Mexican, third is French and last picture is of the Russian female football team Then the US women can go, just what ShrikeHawk said Quote
ShrikeHawk Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Well that explains a lot. We've still got some lookers, even if they aren't as "lookerer" at that. Even though some of the Japanese girls are...*sigh*...I'll still pull for our Ugly Americans. Go US Women! Quote
Razorback Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I find it interesting that in the men's game, the faking and rolling around like the biggest baby ever happens at least 300 times more often than in the women's game. Call me a latino macho for all you want (well I'm part portuguese anyways) but I think women's football is pretty funny compared to men's. I wouldn't call a love for the girly men's game "macho." The women may not be as athletic but at least they play a more "macho" game. Quote
Slartibartfast Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I know its for Rugby but this says it all about mens football/soccer/prancing about... you get the idea. Quote
ShrikeHawk Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Hahaha! My god, I've almost seen it that bad for real. Quote
+Gepard Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 Only 3 hours left, then the finals starts. USA vs Japan. The US girls looks much better. But the japanese team was the big surprise in this championship. Im very curious to see which team will win. Quote
+wilco Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Agreed. And it looks like neither side expected that result. Quote
+Dagger Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 it was a great ending to the World Cup, but I hate to say it, the U.S. gifted them the match. The first equalizer was a total defensive blunder(which I thought only my beloved West Ham United were able to pull off). The shoot out was a total lack of confidence on the U.S. part. To the team from Japan they worked to make chances, and took advantage of theirs, the U.S. didn't full credit to the winners on the day. Quote
+Gepard Posted July 18, 2011 Author Posted July 18, 2011 Yes, Japan was the big surprise of the championship. They played an excellent football. I think it was the best team indeed. Of course the lacked the fighting power of the american or german girls. But they never gave up and never lost their nerves. And finally they won. Congratulations, Japan! Quote
Capitaine Vengeur Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Bet that some mangas about the story of the champion team will soon be available ! Quote
