The thread is about the men’s team playing in the competition

It's the Mens team top of the Cardiff combination!
A top Cardiff Parks team

So I was Right?
Seems like NYCBlue has had the 'mare then! :hehe:

It’s surely a pointless thread if the op is asking is a group of amateur women representing an area of Cardiff with a population of a few thousand would do well in a world Cup of international teams

If you read the links above to both the USA and Australian women's teams, you'll see that boys teams have beaten them comfortably.
Fitness levels alone would be enough, it would be parks players playing against proper athletes
Re: If Fairwater FC, were in the Women's Wold Cup
If you made it completely non-contact I expect a few of the women’s teams would beat conference standard men’s teams ... but then again, like everyone else in this thread, I have no feckin idea.
Re: If Fairwater FC, were in the Women's Wold Cup
I mean, personally I reckon surprisingly well.
I know Bangor Town’s U15s played the Welsh National Team’s first XI as preparation for one of the games. Bangor U15s won 8-0.
That was the same Welsh side who drew to the third best women’s team in the world (England).
As for Fairwater, I reckon they would finish 2nd in the group and probably lose in the round of 16.
Overall, Fairwater would have physicality and height on their side (just look at what Wendie Renard did to South Korea... that would be everyone). And on the other hand Women’s side would be better technically and fitness-wise. It would be closer than you think.
Also, if we are saying that they go to the WWC they’d start using tactics where they’d drop deep and counter everyone and everything. It would be an interesting match.

So how do you account for the fitness levels of 15-year-old boys beating the top women's teams so comfortably?

I'd be happy to bet that academy players at good clubs who train properly are fitter than parks players, club youth teams would beat parks teams as well
As the link you posted said, the boys beat an Australia side missing many of their better players with the Australia team rusty having not played in a while whereas in the World Cup the teams have played warm ups to get up to speed following a full league season

See my point?

But c'mon... 7-0?
It wasn't even remotely a close game.

Oh my gosh. How will I ever live it down? My opinion is unchanged though.
