RedRock Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 This GB No.12 Little woman looks a talent. Infact, Carney and the left full back seem pretty decent too. Worth a punt? Could px Woolford and throw in his hairband. This GB vs Brazil match is far more entertaining than any England mens match for the last decade! Pundits are better than the Hansen/Lauro combo as well ... one of them looks like she's stepped off the Starship Enterprise. Wouldn't mind being a Clingon though I'm not quite sure which side she bats for.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Am A Cider Drinker Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Brilliant 3 wins out of 3 and a win against brazil. amazing hopefully the mens team can take some inspiration from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Fair play to the GB women enjoyed that game far more than the mens GB game. Should of beat Brazil by more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good game to watch especially as the Brazilians got stuck in with several heavy challenges which you don't often see in the womens game. GB did very well, pressed very effectively and were always a threat around the opposition goal. Losing only 1-0 flattered Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedo Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Watched the opening game at the Millennium and the No 3 (Houghton?) was awful, she scored a free-kick and I think has scored again in both games since. Defensively terrible, she may actually be Wooly in disguise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Cracking game, really enjoyed it, what sort of level would they be in the men's game as a team? I reckon a decent Championship team would destroy them, sadly - too much pace and power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I think a top Blue Square Prem team would beat them. I was discussing their level the other day. I suspect it would be the top level of the Bristol league. The men would just seek to play long ball and the women wouldn't have the aerial capability to deal with it.

Robbored Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I can't see them beating a good amateur mens team.The power the mens game possesses would undo them. Just the physicality would be too much. In terms of skill they measure up well apart from the goalkeepers who nearly all look dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodbarmyarmy Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I must admit I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the game last night...... What I dont enjoy is the rather patronising commentary & punditry.........if the player is having a mare or hits a third stray pass in a row or has a wildly off target shot please say so and not the "oh unlucky" type comments we are getting at the mo just because they are girls............ having said that ...it is incredibly frustrating at times when you can see a pass on or a shooting opportunity but they just dont have the power to put behind the ball to make it happen.... I will defo be watching the next game..........prob more so than that Welsh driven drivel of a mens team (why wont they sing the anthem?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night84 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Watching the Women's GB has been a breath of fresh air. Playing as a team, enjoying themselves, not bickering with the Ref or diving. I think the comparison with men's football is unnecessary, women's football is entertaining enough without comparing them to men's teams which cost millions more in terms of training, facilities and youth development.

cityshippers Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Great game, but argee with last post, please stop trying to compare to the mens game, theres no point, they will never play each other, in the same way men will not play women at all top level sport. Just enjoy the win,and maybe watch a few Bristol Academy games as well, cause they aint bad either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
