[Margaret Pilkington]

I know this is going to sound contentious....especially from someone who dislikes football as much as I do....but, men are never going to acclaim a women's football tournament.
It wouldn't matter if all the players had the footballing skills of Pele....or some of the other greats in football.....it would never be acceptable to them.
Men will always see the women as 'playing at it' because they see football as a male game.
Though goodness knows there are some real Jessie's playing professional football at the moment.

Someone once said that women have to be twice as good as men to be thought of as half as good. This is spectacularly true when it comes to football.

Now I will wait for the red stuff to land.
