Enjoying this. So much better and more entertaining than the dross we endured earlier.
No. Fit ladies
Agreed, but it was much more of a penalty to me than the one given against Sissoko considering it hit his chest first before touching his arm, plus the ball that hit him was headed out of the penalty area to no-one in particular, unlike this pen where the ball struck the outstretched arm first and was headed towards goal.My thoughts exactly. This is the new workings of the game and I am sure unscrupulous players and coaches will be playing on this twist to get soft PK's
My problem with women's football is the keepers. The majority of the rest of it is fine. They aren't helped by having it play on normal sized goals despite the average height of women being much lower. Means you are having to just put people in goal who are taller rather than the most talented.

Emma Hayes has recently mentioned that they should be made slightly smaller, but I don’t know how that suggestion was met from others
men use to struggle with the size of the pitch over a century ago. They got fitter, and stronger, and the games miles ahead of what it was. I envisage the same for women. Give it 20 years and debates about goal sizes will be moot. The pace and passing will get faster. We're starting to see cracking goals from outside the penalty box.
It seems every time I watch women's football the quality goes up exponentially.
