Brilliant.

I used to look at Welsh women's football and wonder how they weren't even able to kick a ball properly never mind play the actual game well. But it has come along in leaps and bounds over the last few years as you say WR.

I didn't see any of the England game apart from the goals but in the other two games they did at times look good albeit against teams that are currently much better.

But i'm certain that given time and money Wales Women will become a lot better again.


They all desperately need to improve their basic skills and finiteness. Do that and they will fare much better.

Improve coaching and more talent spotters which basically requires much more money of which they are probably finding it hard to finance.

Has Rayns said above they need to be playing in the English Ladies league, but there are possibly better talented ladies in English Ladies football than the majority of Welsh ladies unfortunately, they no doubt have a larger player base to pick from which makes it harder.


Swansea City are doing their part.

Sounds really positive.

Apart from the very obvious Qatar blip, the FAW have been on good form for quite some time.

It seems to me FAW who are promoting the women's game big time may have taken their eyes off the ball with regards to age group teams .

The u21 were top of the table before Bellamy and Matt Jones messed them about and the FAW finished the job by not registering SIX player Bellamy had a looka t to come back.

The Welsh u21 who had never qualified for the tournament finals slumped from top and unbeaten to three consecutive defeats. They were low priority.. Cotterill and Congreve and Watts.

A lack of friendlies to prepare as well. Neath boy Rubin Colwill was dominating the group but messed about by Matt Jones.

This has absolutely nothing to do with women's football or the Euros.

Just a look at me posting an attention seeking post again. If you can't discuss the subject stay off the thread.

I think women's football could be improved significantly by reducing the size of both the pitch and the goals by 10-15%. There's no shame or chauvinism involved in acknowledging that women are physically smaller and less powerful.

At the moment it's like watching men's 15-16 year olds playing on a full pitch.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Generally I don't. That's mostly down to me giving less and less of a shit about any football other than the Swans rather than a mens/womens thing these days to be honest, but what I have watched influenced my opinion.

The women’s game is very poor.
Loving football doesn’t mean you must love all aspects and editions of football .
Prior to the tournament the Swiss 🇨🇭 ladies got smashed by an under 15s boys team .
Lads the way it is .
If you enjoy the women’s game good on you have fun.
It’s a choice like anything else in life.
I haven’t watched a single second of the dross.
Thank god for the cwc.
The women’s game is poor and it doesn’t make someone a bad person not to be entertained by it.

All football is just entertainment.

You are spot on rich ! Bit the novelty didn’t even start for some of us .
Not watching the women’s game doesn’t make you sexist .
I actually stopped watching it all together after the jenny hermso kiss thing.
When I was gang piled on here for sticking up for a man that did nothing wrong.

So the side of anyone who doesn’t pretend to love the women’s game is a sexist.
Literally personally stopped me from ever watching a game again.
The equal pay demands are laughable.

We all have wives/girlfreinds , some of us lucky enough to have daughters and granddaughters.
Women are a blessing.
But I want to watch elite level football 90 mins is 90mins - from my overall life.
90 min that I can never get back.

The smaller goals and pitch thing might level the playing level gap?
But saying that so would allowing women to take steroids 😜

We're doing a disservice to the women's game by pretending that there's no real difference between them and the men. Clearly there is. I think if more effort was made to acknowledge that and set things up to suit the ladies more would follow it.

I think you will find that women's football is live on mainstream tv during the season and has reasonable viewing figures which are improving.

Of course, conversely that gives them less of a goal to aim at. Are you sure you’ve thought that one out?😂😂😁

I disagree - at the top level of the international game women’s football is extremely enjoyable to watch. It reminds me of the days of Stan Bowles and Rodney Marsh, Le Tissier days when individual skill was on display. Nowadays a lot of managers in the
Men’s game send them out not to lose and to play like robots. Thankfully the last women’s euros in particular and WC showed a real sense of individual style. We just can’t put the Welsh women in that bracket as in terms of skill and conditioning they are years behind.

Well they are investing heavily I am sure a semi successful run in the women’s team and there will be an audience for it .

Didn’t they get record crowds in the qualifying campaign.
It’s not for me but I don’t begrudge the ladies having a platform to play .
One point they weren’t even allowed to play at all.
The lionesses blew up when they started winning things .

60 years ago we were not allowed to play football in the majority of Welsh schools. We have moved on as has mens football, qualifying for tournaments and reaching a semi final. The women will follow but it will take time.
