I was listening to talk radio and there was a very angry man on ranting away about womens football. He was basically saying put it on a different channel. Noone wants to watch, even his wife agrees. He was out of breath he was that mad. I was quite taken aback. Far enough if you dont like it, dont watch. Why on earth he was this upset I dont know! Whats with this disgusting reaction! How weird!!

I saw John Bishop talking about this subject. He was talking about the Lionesses winning and he said the game just isn’t the same when played by women, if there’s a tackle and they end up on the floor, they get up immediately, there is no rolling around for several minutes , there’s no one swearing at the referee and when it went to penalties, they won. We don’t know what to do with that, the men’s team is built on expectations and the women’s on winning. Obviously he said how brilliant they were too.

The mens football players are paid for playing for England. However it is in most cases a lot less than they are paid by their clubs.

The last I heard, the fees the men’s team are paid go straight to charity.

Yes, they donate it to charity, because they get paid so much by their clubs they don't need it.
