The pitches are too big, the goals are too big and they need to play with a lighter ball.
More of a focus on the skills of the game will make it better for players and viewers.

England were shocking. I was watching the game, pissed(thank god), in a bar in Portugal and from the 70th min onwards(when utter boredom set in) we started counting how many times they could string 3 passes together, the total was zero.
The France goal came from an England player just trying off-load the ball like hot potato and finding a French player in the process. They dont seem to know the basics like shielding the ball when no pass is on. The current managers tactics make hopeless powell look like einstein: humping the ball long to a a lone striker who was 5ft 2, to a tall French defence playing deep, beggared belief.
It was only a 1-0 defeat, but the teams were worlds apart on the day, at every level and yet we are led to believe that some of our girls get payed to play football, at a decent level, apparently. If this is the case then the performance was beyond apalling or else one can only assume they shat themselves on the day.
The manager needs to go now, he looked like he has just come out of nappies, how can he pass on advice and tactics to people older than him - where the fook do they drag them from. Get the feeling the attitude is - its just the womens game who gives a shit, any old tosser is good enough to manage them, but then we have a clown in charge of the mans game, so hey ho..

The scheduling seems to be all over the place: on Tuesday there were 6 games. Tonight - nothing. Surely having a couple of games everyday would work so much better?

Seen a couple of games and it's exactly the same as every other women's game I have seen.
The outfield play is good at times with some lovely moves but the goalies are absolute dog shit bad.
Terrible and IMO the only thing that lets the women's game down.

A literal beast.

Seems the UEFA bribery scandal has spread into the Women's game, and of all the bidding nations for this years Women's World Cup, Canada offered the least which is why they have been lumbered with it.

The standard is terrible. I'm all for women playing football but when they try to say they deserve the same exposure and pay as the men's game then it becomes a bit of a joke.

If this is the case then the performance was beyond apalling or else one can only assume they shat themselves on the day. It is a decent level. They play in a Premier League, that is live on satellite TV, so it must be good. The adverts keep telling me so! Some basic skills wouldn't be tolerated in Sunday Pub teams. OK now and again their is a brilliant goal but we used to have that in inter-sectional games in the RAF!

Came into this tournament with eyes wide open. Watching this shower makes me sick. Don't see much of a difference between the U-13s and this lot of "full internationals."

Watched the US win last night to finish top of their group. Abby Wambach's heading was a joke, but she scored a great goal on the volley. Nice to have options for Internationals. USA, USA, USA....

I watched a bit of the Thailand v Germany game the other day with the missus and she was convinced that at least half of the Thai team were lady boys. My retort was that, if they were blokes, how come they were so bad at football? I mean, the East Germans turned women into men with drugs and won lots of gold medals, that Saffer runner who failed a gender test won a gold, so why were the Thai blokes so much worse than the clearly feminine, if still quintessentially German in their efficient use of the ball and precise teamwork, opposition?
