Bearing in mind that fifty years ago the women weren’t even allowed by the FA to play on professional grounds in this country, their rise has been quite dramatic particularly in recent years. The crowd of 75000 to witness the Australia v England semi final shows the women’s game is on the march and quite right too. Why some guys feel the need to compare the men’s and women’s game is beyond me, there will always be a difference physicality wise but so what , the women deserve their place at the football table and their game will continue to grow and prosper. No need to fear it guys or feel threatened, there is plenty of room for a successful women’s game in domestic and world football.
