The USA women's team is far more successful than their male counterparts and generates more in advertising yet gets paid only one third as much. Even if that disparity is partially explained by gate receipts and tournament fees if they are serious about getting more women playing and watching sport then it is very strange that such a pay gap exists.
Agreed. I heard panellists saying before the tournament that this world cup would show the world that the standard of football in the women's game was really high. Well I just don't see that. The standard is very disappointing. Passing is poor, control is poor, shooting is really poor.I watched some of that match and was very disappointed with the standard of football and the falling-down-writhing-in-a-heap-if-the-wind-changes as the key tactic. Based on what I saw, some of them should have seen red. Passing the ball with any consistent degree of accuracy seemed beyond both teams on a billiard-table surface of what looked like astro-turf.
Are they as bad as our men's team?Agreed. I heard panellists saying before the tournament that this world cup would show the world that the standard of football in the women's game was really high. Well I just don't see that. The standard is very disappointing. Passing is poor, control is poor, shooting is really poor.
So that's why Paddy power shares jumped 22%According to Paddy Power England are at 3/1 against the USA in the semis. USA are at 5/6 in the same game while 12/5 the draw. I think I'll throw a few bob on England to win.
