Women's football has a long way to go after being suppressed for so long, but that doesn't mean it can't be exciting any more than League 2 football can.

that's a hilarious comparison vs. the men. true on the theatrics.

yeah, i wasn't saying it wasn't worth watching-- just taking insurance vs. some of the criticisms i've heard.

the truth is i've wanted to watch this since much earlier but i've been copa-america'd.

so--you watching the final?

I would've watched that had it been on tv. However, seeing as there are no fucking genius' (is that geni?) at ANY tv station who decided to show it I've watched the women's world cup. Yeah, I'm a hypocrite.

Not sure if I'm gonna be watching the final. It's on at midnight and I've work tomorrow (woo...)

Speaking of the Copa, what happened with Messi in the last game? Did he choke or was he smothered?

well, here's the funny part-- i watched the first half yesterday on the internet, then for the 2nd half i went to someone's house to watch it on tv. massive thunderstorm, power knocked out, no signal. went back home, power knocked out at home too, zero connection to anywhere. brilliant.

ended up listening on beinsport satellite radio-- but it wasn't a very good radio transmission, more like audio from their tv broadcast. so i couldn't really understand much, except that it seemed like a lot of back and forth.

from what i saw, chile fouled the shit out of everyone in the first half, medel kicked messi in the stomach. fucked up chile has bought all the refs in their road to victory.

di maria went out injured early (remember the world cup?). lavezzi came in for him and he's alright but he's no di maria.

2nd half (the minutes i could actually see) chile had a more organized attack.

overtime (radio, this one) everyone was spent, mascherano cramping up, everyone fucked up. higuaín missed out.

oh, i just found this game review-- i should go read it too now

lol they're better than the men-- it will be 1/2 century at least before the usmnt wins a world cup

You got it totally backwards. Women's international futbol as a whole is so weak that USA can dominate. That doesn't make them inherently more talented than the Men's team, just points out the relative weakness of their competitors and of their sport as a whole. Internationally women's professional sports simply aren't developed enough, apples to small juice oranges

Indeed i saw the score on my twitter feed and was initially almost disappointed that i didn't see it and then i remembered i could care less! I don't watch tennis, golf, or racing either so i could care less if i missed an all time performance in them either

lololololol. you should stop making excuses and just declare that you disapprove of their running around in shorts in view of the public.

[!@#$%!]

...aaaand it's 5-2!!

fun fun game

i hope demonyo watched (lol puns)

oh there's hope's huge smile

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

I ain't hating on them do their thing. Im just refuting your claim the Women's Team is better than the Men's. Sure, they just won the "World Cup" but its not THE World Cup.

USA don't dominate. The best Women's teams are those with the best national infrastructure so it makes sense that the US women's team does well, but Germany are generally recognised as the dominant side, they just didn't happen to win this particular tournament.

There's nothing remotely weak about women's football. People just need to stop comparing it with the men's game and take it on its own terms. It has a different skill-set, as you say. Although saying that, the fact men can't play women probably spares the blushes of a lot of men. And in more specialist positions, like goalkeeper, I think players like Hope Solo are at least as good as plenty of male goalkeepers I've seen at the national level.

the lionesses go back to being mothers! lololol. or something. to the kitchen, woman. you had your fun. now make me a sammich.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

On their own terms sure, but i disagree with being better in "general" because the degree of competition is not the same. Men's futbol, especially at international level, simply fields more professionalized, more experienced rosters than Women's.. whether this is a morally or ethically good thing is not what im discussing.

Again, its not about women being inherently less talented, its about their sport as a whole being less developed, less professionalized. I am not intending to minimize or degrade women's team or women's futbol, but equality is about accepting what it is, and because of player development and professionalization Mens sport tend to be "better" than womens both in athleticism and overall talent pool. This is because more men play at a professional level, the competition is higher level, supply and demand shit..
Basically its what all you guys say about MLS vs global futbol.Women's is MLS in this argument
