If you are trying to make a product that is appealing to watch you have to account for that, you tailor it to the strengths to make the best product. It's why gymnastics don't see men and women do the same events and even some of the ones that are the same are different (The floor, for example, Women have music and the artistic merit is just as important as the tricks but for the men, they don't have music and it's all about focusing on their strength to pull off big tricks)
With football it doesn't matter how good woman players get technically if 99% of goals are scored because of what would be considered a mistake by the keeper in the men's game it undermines the technical skill the woman have because when taking a shot they know they can play safer and still score. You want mistakes to be a rarity with the attackers skill being what gets the goals most of the time.
It's like when I was growing up playing Junior football, we played on full-sized pitches and I'm pretty sure the games weren't a good watch. We didn't have the physicality to cover the pitch properly and the keepers who were obviously fairly smaller and lacked the physicality had a massive disadvantage. Its probably why for my Cub side our main striker scored over 120 goals in a 30 game season and he missed a couple of games going to interviews for private secondary schools. They would have been better games and probably developed us better if there were smaller pitches and goals.
I would also add that one of the best players in my school was a girl and this was in the late 80's early 90's where girls playing football was pretty rare let alone them being on the school team so I know full well technically females can be really good. I also saw how she started struggling as the boys started hitting puberty and even when she reached the age she wasn't allowed to play on the team anymore if we were on the playground or school field playing on smaller fields or were playing 5-a-side inside she was still as good as anyone.Stop hovering to collapse...

I see there’s another live game on BBC this afternoon. I know they’re trying to promote it but it’s not great viewing.
Chelsea ladies just scored twice in a few minutes and I was wondering if it was ROD in disguise in net. -
If the viewing figures aren’t there it will stop. If the figures are then it will stay.
if you don’t like it just switch it off. I think there are a few other channels to pick from -

I’m not watching it. Turned TV on and it was still on BBC from Match of the Day last night. Just happened to be in the 5 mins Chelsea scored twice and ROD came straight into my mind. Lol

I got excited over the news of a new striker only to find it was the ladies team. -

Just had a look and 800,000 watched Man City v Everton at start of season. 2.2m watched the FA Cup Final 2019 so there is a market there.

Is it juniors?

Well I thought since we’re cluttering up the forum with youth threads, I’d add to it with the women’s team.
Maybe add the DFC team in too. -

How many time have you heard the phrase “Come on boys” or “the boys did well today” -
To be honest I’m not interested either but I know for sure the OP isn’t and that is why I pulled his use of the word girls. He is just shit stirring, really I should have just ignored him but he is just a &£@&
