Wimmin’s World Cup

Yeah but no but
The Women’s cricket is a lot more skilful than the football. They’re all really good cricketers.
I like the footy cos I like watching sport, but I think the Women’s footy has a way to go to catch up with the summer game

Whilst there is an element of truth in this still when compared to the men's game (you need to change it to "less rolling on the floor feigning injury"), this will increasingly be seen to be what it is; a lazy arsed trope (along with "all women goalkeepers are jokes") that just isn't the case these days. The failure to recognise or acknowledge the increasing occurrence of such things in the Women's game by those in or around it will in time see it fully embedded in the way it now is in the Men's game.

I fully expect during the World Cup that commentators will fail to call it out when it happens and/or, as with the men's game, blame it on "foreigners".
 
I must've picked the wrong games.
Watched 4 of them so far, each 1 goal or less, very little goalmouth action, not much quality on display, and plenty of rolling around and dodgy reffing.
Could just as easily have been the men's world cup.
 
Watching NZ v Phillipines I'm not sure this is even Sunday Morning League standard. Pitiful and whilst all the goalkeepers may not be a joke........
 
I’d agree with the OP that the women’s football divides opinion, in much the same way that Brendan Rodgers did.

Some see it for what it is, others believe the hype machine surrounding it.

What "it" is is likely to depend on your viewpoint. The "hype" is just reflective of the media's need (and specifically those covering women's football) to generate interest (i.e. traffic) & is hardly a new phenomenon (to see a previous example see also BSkyB [then Sky, BT etc.] & The Premier League). I am not denying that some people are influenced by the hype (indeed that is what the game is hoping for both in terms of spectators & players) but it is possible to have a viewpoint that isn't influenced by the hype (or even to have such a viewpoint whilst being nauseated by the hype - again a bit like the Premier League).
 
Really enjoying it, small countries standing up far better than I thought they would, Haiti, Jamaica and Philippines especially.

That save at the end of the NZ vs Philippines earlier was top drawer, better than anything Danny Ward produced this season.

I genuinely don’t understand the level of scorn directed to the women’s game, it baffles me.
 
It's not football!!!! It may use the same law's ' But that's where it ends.
If its your thing good, I just don't and can't accept it.
 
You should try the official Women's World Cup Game.

I’d like a choice but it seemed forced on us by the mainstream media even moving the ITV schedule to accommodate it.
It’s part of the bigger agenda to end lads football culture and the men’s game as we knew it, what better way than to get everyone thinking the women are more successful when in reality most other countries don’t bother with it so there’s little competition.
We have ended up with clappers and goal music already something that fits right in with the women’s game which is friendly family oriented.
Football as we knew and loved it
Is dead

I personally don't like Basketball and don't watch it , it's because I don't like it exactly the same with women's football!!!!

Fucking hell, I used to despair at those (mum included) who moaned at the disruption caused to TV schedules by World Cups, Euro Championships, Open Golf, Test Matches, Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Wimbledon etc., etc. and that was when there were only 3 fucking TV channels and no streaming services.

What's ruining the country isn't women's football, it's flabby arsed blokes sitting moaning because This Morning has been moved.
