Less greed = less money = a more sporting / better spectacle = more fans = more money. I know it’s imposible to put the genie back in the bottom, but money really is the root of all evil in football. how do you fix it at this stage? my solution would be to mandate that all football clubs be classified as community charities, and ran as such. Not for profit, any profit goes towards community projects, and all wages are scrutinised. Imagine if the consequence of your football club doing well was that your town got a new library, rather than some Saudi prince getting a bit richer. Well that's sure to rub him up the wrong way.

Gives it a slightly different meaning ? RadioactiveWaste and kevinhectoring 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottmRAM Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Women's football is what the men's game used to be and what it should be now. The Women's game is not making any multi millionaires. These ladies are in the sport for the love of the game - which is why they give 100%. I have a daughter who plays football. The girls game at U9s, U10s, U11s, U12s etc is just as good as the boys and sometimes better. My daughter plays in the Nottingham girls and Ladies league for a team that beat Forest girls 9-3! My Son plays in the YEL. Notts County girls play in that league and regularly hammer the boys. Women's football is predominantly watched by girls and the families of those girls. I have been to several WSL matches and I have always enjoyed them. My daughter much prefers to watch the Women's game. We have tickets at Wembley on Sunday for the Euro final and it will be a cracking day out for the family.

Comrade 86 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Really looking forward to this. I do fear that the Germans may be too strong for us, but these girls keep rising to each challenge put before them so perhaps they can make amends for the men's team losing in the final. Irrespective, I love watching them play and enjoy the honesty and simplicity of the women's game in general. The overall quality is improving in leaps and bounds and a sold out Wembley tells it's own story. Allied to young George Russell sticking his car on pole in Hungary, it's a great afternoon of entertainment for British sports fans to savour, with a dash of Commonwealth Games to fill the blanks.

Van der MoodHoover Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 I reckon Sarina will have a plan to move Oberdorf around with quick passing and get runners attacking their centre backs who don't look brilliant. The point was made that although Germany have been phenomenally successful, THIS German team haven't won anything, so no need for England to retreat into their shells. Of course, we say that about every semi and final...... England to nick it by 1 goal..... Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I feel more confident v Germany than if it was France. I thought France looked very good. The worst dive I've seen came from a German who seems to like throwing herself to the floor a bit. So I hope after praising the women's game for its honesty and decency that the final isn't ruined by a Germany win from a dirty dive. Sorry, I mean "clever play" where they have "the right to go down because there was contact". Can't wait. C'mon England Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My two girls aren't into football but I know grass roots football scratches an itch that sofa Champions League football never could. Must be great for your daughter seeing Wembley packed for a womens game. If England could win it then I think and hope it will inspire girls all over the country to take up football if they're feeling a bit unsure or maybe never previously interested before.

Bob The Badger Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) That pregame show was embarrassing. The 10 minutes before kick off is tense and what it's all about ffs. Edited July 31, 2022 by Bob The Badger archram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Just been announced that Popp is out of the match having aggravated a knee injury in the warm up. Desperately bad luck for her. But perhaps a sign that this is England's day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I think that is a little unfair, but she did have two golden chances. I don’t think the ref has been consistent, especially with the yellows… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Started the second half very poorly. That was very close from Magull. We look slow and playing teammates into trouble with passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBritishMidland Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Started to improve the last few minutes. Could do with keeping hold of the ball a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
