UEFA's president
 
On Euro 2005 Womens Football.


There are so many companies who could make use of the fact that if you see a girl playing on the ground, sweaty, with the rainy weather and coming out of the dressing-room, lovely looking, that would sell.

However, Sue Smith of England has struck back


It's disappointing someone high up in the game said something like that. You want people to watch for football reasons. People must appreciate us from a football point of view and come to see us because of the way we play

Well the football certainly watchable. I think people would be more interested if 90% of the players actually looked like Ladies though :D After all Sharapova the Tennis player has more fans than the gigantathon that is Venus Williams.

Yeah, obviously I didnt mean Rachel Unitt (Number 3) though. Shes really only the best of a bad bunch.

I would gladly watch it if it wasnt total cr@p. Im not being a chauvenist here but lets be honest: it is awful. One of the commentators claimed the women would hold their own in the Conference. That is the funniest thing i have heard in ages. I reckon any sunday league team would give them a good game, never mind a team of pro's.

And dont get me started on the goalkeepers.......

Although i probably would pay to watch Sweden Vs Finland. Link anybody?? :)

Im not someone that watches football much. But Im not sure "it is awful" Its awful watching England play, but thats regardless of which team it is. :)

Id like to see the England ladies play a 1st Division Male side. Just to answer the question. But I guess the male team would be less likely to go for a tackle.

If I can use the Tennis. Sharapova, Williams etc would destroy most amateur male players. So its a little off to assume that they are rubbish IMO
