Women football is pretty nice to watch if you like technical play more so than athletic play.
They play some very good passes and I enjoy it a lot since there is no diving or drama involved with them.

They play football like its supposed to be played.

The first two statements I can agree with but the 3rd one is a nice joke.

I watched a bit of womens cricket, which in fairness is not "that" bad compared to the mens game, of course not as many 6s are hit or bowling anywhere near 90mph like the men but they do play the shots properly etc.
Womens Rugby i have never seen, im sure the Americans can give us a view on Basketball? Netball the English version of said sport is pretty interesting and gets pretty heated to be honest haha. Erm other than that the only team i watch womens sports is in the Olympics and again that is mainly track and field events.


Women's basketball is probably the most successful women's sport here. It has a decently popular and successful league, whereas soccer's is basically unheard of and I don't think that baseball or hockey have one. Of course, the level of play is still significantly lower than the men's game, which in a sport like basketball, isn't surprising.

But as I said, if you want to watch good play in a women's sport, hockey is the game to watch.

Oh, and the U.S. are going to have a brutal game against China. They are so incredibly organized defensively and the U.S. is a joke offensively. Combine that with no Rapinoe and that game will be a struggle to even watch.

It might be the most successful but that does not equate with "good games" and "interesting to watch." I think the level of play in the WNBA is much much lower than women's soccer.


I don't see how you could possibly make a comparison between the level of play of two completely different sports.

They're both the top level of their respective sports. The WNBA is a professional league as well, so it's not like it's a bunch of amateurs that don't train or practice.

Well then let's talk about stuff that belongs in here.

German non sport media had an article on Cech today, part of it was that Mourinho allegedly didn't want to trade within the league. Is that the actually the case or just an excuse and the true issue is his irrational hatred for Wenger?

Also Sky News:

Mid fielder yes. but he played left centre and attacking last year. Depending on how Hoffenheim's technical set up was, and from looking at a few games I'd say the coach threw the dice to decide that, wild mixture

Firmino's versatile I think he can play forward or attacking mid or striker really.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

I would have thought Chelsea could have got a bit more out of Aresnal for Čech than that.

I hadn't watched any women's football for several years until this world cup. Like prolly ~10 years since I watched a full game. And wow, they have improved.. before there would be all these absolutely horrendous mistakes and bad passes even in situations with no pressure, but from watching like 4-5 different matches so far, there's been very little of that. Like, before, the pace was much much lower, but even at the much much lower pace they would frequently be making technical errors that almost never happen with guys. Now it's like, they have at least managed to increase their technical ability to match the pace they are playing at.

While it's not necessarily what I prefer to watch, I largely think technical ability of a team showcases itself by how able the team is to maintain possession while the other team is applying pressure. And similarly, I feel that how badly a team is playing can often be determined by how often they lose possession to little or no pressure. (you're not playing badly just because you lost the ball 3 seconds after getting it vs atletico madrid, but if you lose it 3 seconds after getting it against a chelsea leading 2-0, you might be. ) Before, watching girls football was impossible because they were just constantly losing the ball for no reason. Now, the good teams of this world cup seem to be matching the 'lose ball stupidly' ratio of mid-tier norwegian league teams (albeit at a slower pace), and I happily watch those matches if I have a team to cheer for. ;p

yeah it's still pretty low level play. The ned-jpn game was filled with unforced boners left and right. But there's more than enough talent on the better teams to result in goals like sakaguchi buried after some really pretty ball movement.

It's certainly watchable when it's the better teams on. I dunno I just accept it for what it is like watching MLS and it can still be fun

Nobody mentioned, but Atletico signed Jackson Martinez from Porto, after selling Manzukic to Juventus.

And, in Spain the Media press is Spamming about Sergio Ramos and his "contract renovation" battle with Florentino Perez. They are telling now that Ramos will go to United lol. I think he will continued in Real Madrid.

Those two transfers aren't "done deals" yet though? Martinez still being linked with Arsenal in England whilst Juve are being linked with Juan Cuadrado xD

Chelsea also "back in the race" for Sterling but wont pay above £40million for him.

It's only statement from his agent, and his agent also confirmed a week ago that he signed contract with Milan. I would wait for confirmation from the club.

I thought it was confirmed, sorry then (Although agent said that the deal is finalized, so it is quite sure)

It seems Arda Turan wants to go to the Premier ( I don't know if it is true that he wants to leave Atletico)
