Can't wait to hear her moan again about how sexist the game is because the prize money in the mens WC is so much higher.

Way better than watching with my daughter while Alexi Lalas calls the French women a bunch of chokers.  I had to mute it, fucking Fox.  What more can the Murdochs ruin?

If you have a VPN you can watch the BBC feed on the iPlayer.

[gerrardisgod]

But then you’ll have to mute it, as Sue Smith just doesn’t shut up.

Went to switch to the Five Live commentary option for this game as I can't stand Jonathan Pearce but they've got that Vicky Sparks commentating. She's absolutely dreadful aswell.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

At least it isn't Jenas.

That Renard certainly has a VVD feel about her, she just looks so dominant and always at ease.

[Gerry Attrick]

The gulf in class here is absolutely gigantic. France can score when they want here.

[Crosby Nick]

That Renard certainly has a VVD feel about her, she just looks so dominant and always at ease.

I thought she was more a fox in the box.

[PhaseOfPlay]

That Renard certainly has a VVD feel about her, she just looks so dominant and always at ease.

She's fantastic.

[Hazell]

She's fantastic.

Whenever there is danger she's there.

Appalling lack of French speakers in here.

Apologies in advance on behalf of all Americans.

[b_joseph]

That Renard certainly has a VVD feel about her, she just looks so dominant and always at ease.

Her header was like the Newcastle goal...seems like she has been around forever.

[Bobinhood]

The new French Henry is Waaaaaay better looking than the old one.

[hixxstar]

Appalling lack of French speakers in here.

[Jack The Lad]

That Renard certainly has a VVD feel about her, she just looks so dominant and always at ease.

Looks live Virgil in drag. Even celebrated the same.

[frag]

Germany game is pretty dire

[TheShanklyGates]

What a goal! Great hit.

[sinnermichael]

1-0 Germany.

[Chig]

Is the first time I watched women’s football. So far, I am bit disappointed. Both in terms of technique and tactical abilities. Would it be fair to say they are just below U-15 boys level?

[Barneylfc∗]

No, it wouldn't.

If you are disappointed, what were you expecting?

[TheShanklyGates]

South Africa have done Spain on the counter!

[Barneylfc∗]

South Africa have done Spain on the counter!

Well taken goal, but the Spanish keeper looks about 5 foot tall in goal.

[lapapa]

  you must be joking, surely?

[sinnermichael]

Anyone give Scotland much of a chance against England tomorrow? I see England beat them 6-0 last time they met.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

you must be joking, surely?

Top u15/16 academy sides would wipe the floor with most International Ladies sides.

[ToneLa]

I don't say this often, and even less often with footie, but I back the Americans

[Gerry Attrick]

Things I’ve learned so far; France are good, the rest certainly are not.

[S]

Top u15/16 academy sides would wipe the floor with most International Ladies sides.

This is true. You can support the women's game whilst also acknowledging this to be the case. It's pointless to pretend otherwise.

One thing I would say - and I could be totally wrong here - but isn't the professional women's game still very young? Apart from football the only other sport I watch is tennis occasionally. When that's on I'm just as likely to watch a women's match than a men's one. When I watch women's football though I'm often surprised at the standard. Could the explanation be that the game is still in its infancy compared to something like tennis? If the game continues to grow I imagine it will eventually enjoy the same relationship as women's tennis does to men's insofar as the most striking difference won't be the gap in technical ability, but the simple physical differences between the two sexes.

[Barneylfc∗]

Top u15/16 academy sides would wipe the floor with most International Ladies sides.

They'd probably beat the likes of Mauritius, but not the top teams. The likes of Germany/USA would probably beat a lot of mens lower league teams.

The top division in England has only been fully professional since last season. The game has come a long way but it's still relatively early days.

[S]

The top division in England has only been fully professional since last season. The game has come a long way but it's still relatively early days.

I found that really surprising. It explains perfectly why people may be a little surprised by the standard of some teams. If the game keeps developing at this rate and growing in popularity then the quality of players will just get better and better.

I agree with this. There are so many obstacles that women football still have to face. Most of these players can't even make a living out of football, so I'm not surprised that it just hasn't reached the level where it can be yet.
