Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

She looks class and the standard (as you said) overall is MUCH higher than I thought it would be. I'de love to see her join the premiership, she's no skinnier/fragile than any of the small male players. Marta to United?
It'd make the team showers more interesting!

Co-ed teams exist in the US, I play on a couple. We have separate changing rooms
On topic, Marta is a fantastic player.
But the standard of women's soccer is pretty high in general, the US women's team have really lost ground to everyone else, which makes things more interesting.0 -

The average height of a top goalkeeper is about 6'3" and they struggle to reach some parts of the goal at times. Far worse when your keeper is sub 6'.
Women play soccer in countries other then Ireland, you know, where women (and people in general) tend to be slightly taller.
Our keeper is 6'3 (I hate standing beside her on team nights out)Bounty Hunter wrote: »isnt Soccer essentially considerd the no.1 sport for women in America.
No, we only just have the initial formation of a professional women's soccer league.
I would guess softball or maybe basketball would be the number one, with the NBA financing the WMBA since the late 90's.
*maybe* at highschool level soccer is number one (but I doubt it), but other sports are taking over and from college level up, soccer doesn't have the same appeal as the US sports.0 -

And Peter Cech is 6'7.
I know that there are tall women, but there are taller men.
Like I said, the average man is 4 inches taller than the average woman, (world-wide).
But it's not new.
The WNBA you pointed out has the same height nets, which I think is stupid, as all you hear, from a lay persons perspective, is about how the women can't dunk.
Lower the bloddy nets and they will!
