12. It's called football, not soccer :-(
Well, our ladies lost. At least now the idiot with the annoying voice that has commented their games won't bother me again.

Women's football is strange. Personally I lost all respect for it when, as a 16 year old (ie some years ago...) my team (comprised entirely of 16-year olds, and not even a particularly good one, at that) played Asker, the champions of Norwegian women's football.

We won 10-1...

13. Considering all the sports threads in the lounge
and the predictibility of confusion soccer is what it is (though i say football normally).

Women's football has changed a lot, perhaps its worth a second look?

18. Yes, of course there are physical differences!
By all means. I don't know if you're familiar with Hege Riise? She's been voted best female player in the world several times; she's played in the USA for...hm...Carolina? for the last two or three years. She used to train with my local team in the men's Premier League in Norway (Lillestrøm SK), and I do appreciate that the technical abilities are extremely high at the top level.

There's no doubt about that, but it's just not football as long as it's played at 20% of the tempo held in any division of male football.
But of course, I cheer for our ladies and wish them well!

5. One of the few
reasons I kept my cable.
Here they quashed cspan-2, but it will come back in Nov.
And the PBS channel is only halfway clear on cable, I couldn't do a 100 foot antenna for Bill Moyers.

16. how couldn't you.
I am totally smitten at the sight of a tall, beautiful athletic woman who can score goals with her forehead.
