The one main difference for me is the quality of the keepers. They seem a lot poorer in the women's game.
Otherwise I think it is good and I do watch the England games when they're on TV.
It's only low-quality when compared to the men's game.It’s pub level football at best - if people want to watch it fine (though the crowd on the clip suggests they don’t) but it’s low quality.

You could say the same thing about women's tennis, athletics or any sport involving strength and speed.
The quality of women's football is now very, very good and has been for the past 20 years.
And it's getting better and more competetive as more nations emerge with strong teams.
What you are saying about 'pub team quality' hasn't been true for about 50 years.

Of course it is. Grendel just likes being contentious.No its better than that, but just not as fast as the men's game, and still not as technical.
I have seen Liverpool and Tottenham Ladies play Leicester Women's this season (had to as my daughter is part of the Leicester junior set up...I wouldn't watch them otherwise)
Liverpool, who had Chris Kirkland on the coaching staff, were excellent ball players and clinical. They scored six excellent goals and their passing was sharp and they were technically very good.
Spurs won 3-0 at Leicester and were again a good ball playing team. They scored two fantastic lobs over the keeper, which I know if it had been in a men's league game, fans would have been raving about.
I know it isn't like the men's game, but it is improving, and is far better than pub level.

Not everyone's cup of tea for sure, but I usually quite enjoy it. The keeping though is pretty universally poor.

And in turn, if they start having the men wear skimpy shirts and sports bras we all change to the women's game.Skimpy shorts and ban sports bra's then maybe i'll watch women's footy

23 million viewers for Women's World Cup Final:Women’s tennis and athletics are equal status in interest and prize money to their male counterparts. Football is nowhere near at the same level. People don’t watch it in any numbers at all.
