Why would you, without watching any of it, classify it as a "sub-standard game"? |

I hope they don't for a few years, then name it after the outstanding player of the first couple of seasons, if they name it after a person at all |

Name it after Rebecca Judd. That dress did more to spike interest in the game for women than any other event of the last 50 years. :facetious: |

I appreciate the skills in soccer/football, and it's good to watch in portions, but I don't enjoy watching entire matches. Last matches I watched in their entirety were the Sydney FC v Hotspurs and Sydney FC v Chelsea matches, and that's pretty much only because I was working. |

Give women's soccer a chance, you might like it. Bottom line is I'm not going to watch a sport just because it's women playing, that's illogical. I understand those that have daughters that play being interested. Enjoy. |
