That's a shame as they remain one of only three teams whom they can beat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Just now, frenchred said: Because like me probably he is fed up with women's football getting so much airtime. It's crap football no matter how they try and sell it, watched by very few at the stadia and just the bbc bowing to the righteous few again Well a few things. Firstly, the BBC, like any broadcaster, will promote it's own programming, and as they hold the domestic rights to the Euros next year, it's in their interests. I presume the WC qualification matches for Scotland and Wales will be on Sky? Apologies if I'm wrong. Secondly, we are hosting the Euros next year, and the BBC, as a national broadcaster should be helping to promote it, and show off female footballers as role models to encourage more girls to take up the sport. Thirdly, the last time the lionesses played in a major tournament, that game had a domestic audience 2 million more than the combined populations of Scotland and Wales. No one is forcing you to watch womens football, and indeed 99% of football coverage in the UK, be it on TV, radio or other media, is the men's game. You have plenty of options. I'm looking forward to it, and have tickets for some matches. Sure it's different, and I can understand why it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's certainly not in any way over represented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hopefully Wales and Scotland get through same with Portugal and Italy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be more annoyed that Portugal didn’t beat Serbia in their final qualifying match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Pleasantly surprised Italy and Portugal were drawn together. Not that I’d accuse FIFA of deliberately keeping apart the reigning Euro champs and the team with the (joint?) most recognised player on the planet, simply so both could qualify and achieve big TV ratings. That would be dodgy of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case I hope the Taffs and the Jocks get knocked out in the Semis. I don't buy in to the home nations argument. English and England only. Don’t like either. I hope they both fail to qualify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
