18 - 0 after 82 mins. 4 different players with hatricks.
4 goals in the last 4 minutes
Don't suppose I've looked into women's results much before but with Wales doing well during this campaign I've had more of a look and some of the results are staggering.
Even Wales are beating on some of them.
It seems a pointless match up but I guess only by having these matches and experiences can some of these nations develop.
It isn't surprising at the moment, as some countries have taken great strides towards professionalism in the women's game and others are very amateur still . We will probably see those gaps close somewhat in time .Quote:

It may be the serve in the men's game is also something of a leveller. They won't often be really in the match but won't always be utterly smashed as someone with a decent to good serve will still hold enough.Quote:

Good point about the serves though as the extra height and power make it easier for men to defend their own serve.Quote:
