Women's Football in General

Women's Football in General ... professionalised and is growing in both popularity and participation. From the first known professional team in 1984, to the hundreds of thousands of tickets sold for the 1999 Women's World Cup, support of women's professional football (soccer) has increased around the globe. It is now the third most popular sport in the world. The first Women's World Cup was held in China in 1991, and was won by the USA. The third Cup, held in the United States in 1999, drew worldwide television interest and a final in front of a record-setting 90,000+ Los Angeles crowd, where the home team won 5-4 on penalty kicks. In 2008, FIFA will institute an under-17 world championship. The inaugural event will be held in New Zealand.

Lets face it, there is little discernible skill in it, and most people who watch it, (myself included) are just watching for the "bounce factor", or to see their legs/thighs getting a rub down with a sponge.

The 80's was great for many things, but ladies football was certainly NOT one of them! I am going to sound very sexist in saying this, but im going to say it anyway. Women's football in my opinion is pointless (but absolutely hillarious!) Don't get me wrong its absolutely entertaining but for all the wrong reasons. Lets face it, there is little discernible skill in it, and most people who watch it, (myself included) are just watching for the "bounce factor", or to see their legs/thighs getting a rub down with a sponge.

Somewhere back in the early to mid Eighties, (no one exactly knows when) four dizzy school girls got together and decided to do something with their lives in Birmingham rather than be destined to grace the checkouts in their local Tesco’s. Sisters Jo and Maggie Dunne (four years older) were eagerly learning to play lead guitar and bass respectively whilst Vickie Perks only had eyes for being a front lady with microphone in hand and petite, blonde Tina O’Neill, already had drumsticks in her tiny grip ready for her first lesson. Not really coming up with any great ideas for a band name, one of them came up with the idea of playing around with one of the instruments they ...  Read the complete review

Women can't play football. They can't head the ball, tackle, shoot or understand the offside rule. And don't even think about asking a girl to chest it down ... Actually, women *can* play football. It's just that I couldn't, particularly - though I had a good old crack at it, on and off, for three years. I'm not for one minute going to pretend that women's football in the UK is at the same standard as the men's game (yet), but it is now the most popular women's sport in England, so I thought I'd pen this opinion based on my experiences. I have been involved with three different clubs. The first was the most ...  Read the complete review
