What Do You Think?

  • I live in Cyprus and i went to watch the game vs New Zealand and i was impressed by the skill level even if the physical side of the game and speed is a lot less than the mens game.Well done England and i will go to the Final and give my support.The FA should push the womens game more,I see that the BBC have agreed a deal to show the Womens Super League next season so that is a positive start.By Gunner (3 months ago)
  • Womens football need to be more publisised. Main reason is when i was watching the england v france game my daughters came in and said why are there women playing football? i mean how can this be the way our children grow up thinking they cant play as its a boys game. I have now looked into getting them into football training but no clubs are taking girls, so i am starting up my own club just for GIRLS!By Dan (7 months ago)
  • i agree that more womens games should be on tv not just sky . i have really enjoyed the games for england and team gb i think the womens team did better than the mens team for gb and also enjoy watching the womens england team more than the mens it is more intresting its like the women want to play for england and the men dont seem to have that pride to play for england . and i hope the euro 2013 is also show on tv would love to watch them maybe win :) good luck By coral (8 months ago)
  • I think that the womens game should be televised. The responce they had to the Olympics was fantastic and I feel more ought to be done to continue the legacy left behind by the Olympic games Could we have the Internationals on terestrial though as I refuse to pay for sky.By james (9 months ago)
