  1. Why is Sky sports News now talking so much about womens football and why are so many women talking about mens football?? . every time you turn this crap on now its that scouse Gremlin talking..its gone too far

  2. All you guys out there posting nasty comments about women's football, why on earth can't you be supportive of them? Football is a sport that can be played by anyone. Quite literally. And everyone deserves the support to play a sport that they love! So instead of tearing them down, why don't you support the other 50% of the population?!

  3. I have a few constructive ideas to improve the interest in women's football.

    One of the things they need to change about women's football are the names of the clubs. It just feels that they're hangers-on to the men's clubs with names like Liverpool ladies, Chelsea ladies, and so on. I feel they should change their names to another town/district nearby, or something else relevant, than just simply being the ladies version of a men's club. Create your own identity. Just a small change, but wouldn't a Liverpool ladies vs Chelsea ladies football match sound better if it was something like Toxteth vs Kensington?

    I also think there needs to be more personalities within the women's game. The only personalities we have from women's football revolve around how unfair the pay gap is, and you don't really hear much more from them. I just think you need more women coming out and calling the other team rubbish, or just going off on an arrogant rant about how good they are. As much as the men's game is about its heroes, it's also about its villains. The desire to see a team beat a Jose "Special One" Mourinho team, for example. From what I see of the current crop of women's personalities, they're all too nice to each other. Call each other a bunch of slags or something. I'm not being funny, but controversy sells. As fans, we as much want to see our own team doing well as seeing the other team getting humiliated and put in their place.

    The quality obviously needs to improve, but in order for you to do that you need more young girls taking up the sport. There are probably naturally gifted female footballers who'd never know about it because they've never considered kicking a ball in their life. Men's football is so competitive due to the fact that so many young boys want to become a football player, and it is a real dog fight to make it as a professional. Women footballers need to do more in going to schools to encourage young girls to take up the sport.

  4. Hilarious that people expect women's football to be of a comparable standard to the men's while they're playing catchup on over a century's headstart. A lot of professionals representing their country in major international tournaments aren't even full time players – how is the standard going to catch up without more support, more money, more coverage, more attention etc? If you want to see a better standard, and have twice as much quality football to watch and support, stop whinging that "it's being shoved down our throats no-one cares." And if you don't want to see a better standard of football develop, don't want to see a thriving sport, don't want to have an entertaining product to watch…why not?

  5. Whats funny is comparing the number of watches on skys football channel compared to this yet it's being rammed down our throats just set up sky sports women channel and leave us to it

  6. They pushed women’s football in FIFA, and it failed spectacularly. Now sky are forcing it down are throats, but nobody is going to swallow.

  7. A lovely woman n great role model has alot going on in personal life has steph but always talks respectfully n with passion about womens game + supports safc which helps

  8. Pretty stupid to be complaining about how little interest you have in women's football while choosing to watch and leave comments on videos that are entirely and very obviously about women's football. Big brain stuff.

    Do you kick up this much of a fuss when Sky talks about sports you're not interested in as well? Or when they show a movie you don't want to watch? Get a life lads.

  9. I couldn't care less if the women's league had a world cup every week.
    It sucks.
    It isn't even sexist, have you seen the goals that are conceded?
