world cup starts on friday 13:00 - Jun 3 with 36066 views | lowhouseblue | come on, equality and all that - and it's the only footy we'll get for the next month or so. we should generate some interest and enthusiasm on here - allocate teams as we did for the men's world cup. if 24 people reply to this thread I'll do a random draw and allocate teams. or not. sod it, i'm looking forward to it. ********* THE DRAW there was more than 24 of us in the end (I think I've included everyone who replied to the thread) so I started a second round of a draw and there's some doubling up. equally therefore late comers can still be included. …. drum roll... and the draw is: Bluebadger Chile Coastal Blue Scotland Clapham Junction Jamaica C.HealyisApleasure Thailand Footers China Ryorry Netherlands Ramsey Robson France The Romford Blue Argentina SitfcB Japan lowhouseblue Brazil CaptainAhab South Africa Superblue95 England Marshalls_Mullet Australia Swansea_Blue Italy SpruceMoose Canada Tractordownsouth Sweden Deano69 South Korea Linhdi Nigeria Brazil1982 Germany J2Blue USA Never_lose_the_faith Cameroon Jeera New Zealand Flimflam Spain Portmanroadblue Spain Mos Italy Nthsuffolkblue Netherlands BanksterDebtSlave England Basingstokeblue South Korea SamWhiteUK Norway Hoppy Scotland [Post edited 6 Jun 2019 13:19]

world cup starts on friday on 16:56 - Jun 3 by Marshalls_Mullet | I suspect it comes down to resources in terms of parity. The academy system in mens football costs c.£2m per club to run, and even they have difficulty in being viable. I dont think womens football needs more pro clubs to have girls football at 8 and 9, they probably need more school and local clubs teams. Womens football should be able to stand on its own two feet, and I think it will if its given the chance to grow organically. It doesnt need to be subsidised by the mens game. |
Not sure the younger age groups are that costly in the scheme of things. There is generally a lack of grass roots funding for the girls/female game. ITFC Women first team are all unpaid (not even travel expenses) yet alone any younger teams. Suffolk FA didn't even turn up and present the League Winners trophies for my daughters team. I am probably more sensitive to it with having a daughter playing, but the gulf in investment between grass roots boys and girls football is enormous, in fact I cant say I have seen any real investment with the exception of McDonalds (which I have to say doesn't sit well with me). Nonetheless, the girls love playing and the coaches and parents/supports will continue to enjoy watching in the baking heat and freezing cold.... | |

Ahh the People's Republic. Great pick, lowhouse. Their mastery of Xi Jinping thought will help them overcome you capitalist western pigs. I predict many of the teams mentioned here will be disappeared at some point during the tournament. How much we got riding on it? | |

surely it's worth a 5G contract or two? the opposition tactics aren't going to come as a surprise to your lot. | |

Not sure in what way it was cheeky mind, thought both sides played really well throughout and a pretty good goal scored. Glad it didn't go to pens like last year. We drew in the 'group' stage 0-0 with them Very good record against them in the league, beat them 8-0 and 5-0, and 3-1 in the league cup (the only goal we conceded in the cup) Really rate Stonham though very dangerous in attack. We have a strong defence, only conceded 8 or 9 goals all season and dropped just 4 points. Cant wait for us to start playing 9 a side though. | |

I believe J2 was, ironically, given two teams. So Norway should be the only one left. Of course it is mr or mrs lowhouse who is organising so you may want then to confirm. But be warned, they drink Woodforde's Wherry.. | |
