Liverpools offense had really not a lot of injuries. I just checked and saw Sane missed 1 game, Salah 2 games and Firminho 5 games. That's pretty impressive!

I remember some of you guys were quite the Ole fans last season ... ^_^

I've read the most disturbing thing today. It seems UEFA will force clubs that are on the CL to have a womans team as well.

Wtf....

Anyone seen anything regarding this? From the reports it even seems it is to be implemented quite soon as well.

Forcing clubs to have unrelated squads is not disturbing? Forcing clubs to stress their already tight budget to have a squad that will have zero impact on the team's perfomance in that competition is normal?

It's roughly the same as saying that next year you need a cycling team to be able to take part in CL.

This is not the same as having youth squads from the same sport that can actually have an impact in the team in the present or future. Unless football becomes a mixed sport, this is a disturbing rule.

If you want to grow the women's game and be able to offer female footballers better opportunities and wages in the future this is a fantastic rule.

Remember women are still trying to catch up having been banned from playing competitive football for decades.

Professional volleyball wages are also quite low. let's force clubs to have those as well? And women are not "trying to cathch up", they are simply not great at the game. People don't want to watch players on TV that aren't much better than them, no matter their gender.

When was professional volleyball officially banned and fought on all levels by professional football?
And of course they are trying to catch up, all leagues were semi pro until recently, most still are.
How in the world are they supposed to remotely reach their potential if they can't even get medical crews for the top level games.

Theres so many things wrong here the misogyny not withstanding I am not even going to bother. Hopeless case is hopeless. I see people are trying though. Godspeed to them.

From my part at the very least, disturbing is a rather exaggerated description

That's a very simple and shortsighted argument. For example the women' bundesliga has been around for close to 30 years, which means the best female players nowdays have been training in a professional environment all of their lives. Would you say they can compare to their male counterparts?
This is obviously a very controverse and highly theoretical discussion, what I am pretty sure of however is that enforcing is not the right way to increase the popularity of a sport.

Improvements aren't just made over one lifetime. They happen as infrastructure builds, and competition for places increases due to increased participation.
Why do you think people get better and better at every single sport over time? As long as they are allowed to play that sport.

I get what you're saying that forcing things won't necessarily work, but I think its a good thing because Champions League clubs get a HUGE amount of money just for participating and they generally already have the kind of infrastructure in place that could be really useful for the women's game.

Personally I think that any national FA that has ever banned women from playing should be forced to carry the cost of this kind of thing instead of the clubs, but a far as initiatives go this works too to some extent.

If you want to do that, which is perfectly fine if you want to, offer incentives for clubs that have female teams. Dont force clubs to do such a thing in order to be allowed to play. That is just wrong.

My comment has nothing to do with woman......for the misogyny smartypants comment Rebs, you usually write from your very high horse but as often, failed to grasp the issue.

Obviously I agree with you that banning women from playing football was a horrible idea and the natural progression in every sport should be supported and girls should be encouraged to play whatever the feel like. I do not doubt that female football will be of a higher quality 50 years from now.

However, I see no reason to single women's football out compared to other sports just because its male counterpart is so popular or because it was banned for several decades. What's done is done and all that counts is that there are no restrictions anymore today. That does not mean that we should treat it differently to any other male or female sport.
I feel like we are living in a time where people are trying to force their views upon the rest of the populus way too much by claiming the moral highground.

You cannot and should not try to force a sport onto the public when the demand isn't there. That's the way I see it at least.

Anyone seen anything regarding this? From the reports it even seems it is to be implemented quite soon as well.


Why is that disturbing ?


Forcing clubs to have unrelated squads is not disturbing? Forcing clubs to stress their already tight budget to have a squad that will have zero impact on the team's perfomance in that competition is normal?

It's roughly the same as saying that next year you need a cycling team to be able to take part in CL.

This is not the same as having youth squads from the same sport that can actually have an impact in the team in the present or future. Unless football becomes a mixed sport, this is a disturbing rule.


If you want to grow the women's game and be able to offer female footballers better opportunities and wages in the future this is a fantastic rule.

Remember women are still trying to catch up having been banned from playing competitive football for decades.


If you want to do that, which is perfectly fine if you want to, offer incentives for clubs that have female teams. Dont force clubs to do such a thing in order to be allowed to play. That is retarded.

My comment has nothing to do with woman......for the misogyny smartypants comment, you usually write from your very high horse but as often, failed to grasp the issue.


I haven't said anything about misogyny.

It was not for you, sorry. Writting on the phone it was not easy to do multiple quotes.

Edited to "just wrong" retarded was harsher than intended. To me it is just wrong. Offer incentives and let the clubs chose if they want to go that route and if it makes sense for them or even if they can afford it. Forcing them to have anything is simply wrong in my view. I cant grasp how is it acceptable to force anyone to have those teams, regardless of how noble you think the cause is.

You cant fabricate interest in something, it has to grow, otherwise it will either fail with time or be a money sink to maintain.

Professional volleyball wages are also quite low. let's force clubs to have those as well? And women are not "trying to cathch up", they are simply not great at the game. People don't want to watch players on TV that aren't much better than them, no matter their gender.


Would you say women are better now than they were 20 years ago?


That's a very simple and shortsighted argument. For example the women' bundesliga has been around for close to 30 years, which means the best female players nowdays have been training in a professional environment all of their lives. Would you say they can compare to their male counterparts?
This is obviously a very controverse and highly theoretical discussion, what I am pretty sure of however is that enforcing is not the right way to increase the popularity of a sport.


Improvements aren't just made over one lifetime. They happen as infrastructure builds, and competition for places increases due to increased participation.
Why do you think people get better and better at every single sport over time? As long as they are allowed to play that sport.

I get what you're saying that forcing things won't necessarily work, but I think its a good thing because Champions League clubs get a HUGE amount of money just for participating and they generally already have the kind of infrastructure in place that could be really useful for the women's game.

Personally I think that any national FA that has ever banned women from playing should be forced to carry the cost of this kind of thing instead of the clubs, but a far as initiatives go this works too to some extent.


Obviously I agree with you that banning women from playing football was a horrible idea and the natural progression in every sport should be supported and girls should be encouraged to play whatever the feel like. I do not doubt that female football will be of a higher quality 50 years from now.

However, I see no reason to single women's football out compared to other sports just because its male counterpart is so popular or because it was banned for several decades. I feel like we are living in a time where people are trying to force their views upon the rest of the populus way too much by claiming the moral highground.

You cannot a should not try to force a sport onto the public when the demand isn't there. That's the way I see it at least.


The demand is there.
You might not want to watch women's football but others do. The record attendance for women's games keeps being broken, the last women's world cup was far more watched than the one before.
Its growing, and a helping hand along the way is good.
I think you're trying to make this about politics, and I suppose it does have that element, but measures like this are not primarily political, it is an attempt to try and grow participation and opportunity in the women's game.

I don't see anyone trying to claim the moral high ground here, its a practical issue. The women's game doesn't have the money or infrastructure to be able to grow as fast as it could be growing, so some small measures are being put in place. You could feasibly look at this from a purely commercial point of view and it still makes alot of sense.

I really don't see what the big deal about this is to be honest. Even if I were to accept that this is not a good thing I still don't think its that much of a problem, especially given the paltry amount of money that most of these clubs will spend on their women's teams.

Also remember this: The US women's team dominated the World Cup again. If European teams are to keep up with them, maybe getting CL clubs involved could balance things out a little.

Maybe they could have done this another way, but I think the pros of this move outweigh the cons.

Maybe football needs a money sink

I think clubs should also be forced to invest in grassroots programs if I'm being perfectly honest. The sheer amount of money in the men's pro game is staggering and just reinvesting all of that into top level football creates boring national leagues with fewer competitive teams and huge gaps in skill.
