Well Done Ladies

[MacAdder]

Great effort from Jess Fishlock but a good save. https://mobile.twitter.com/Cymru/sta...99438518177801

didn't realize she was still playing

I think I saw somewhere on TV recently that she won the US women's soccer league MVP award.

Cracking volley fair play.
Seems like they were a bit unlucky tonight.

Wales currently ranked 9/9 of the runners up.

Having played 4 games and a few on 5..

Top 3 qualify other 6 it seems go into the lottery.

The good news is that Slovenia dropped two points in drawing 0-0 with Greece, so you’d like to think that if things go to form with Welsh wins in Greece and Kazakhstan and a defeat by France in the return match, avoiding defeat by Slovenia at home will be enough to take second place in the group.

It's a Young sport in terms of development. The countries with the least resources are going to struggle. It happens at men's levels as well. Admittedly not 15-0 or whatever the score was, but we could say what's the point in San Marino, Moldova etc. They don't compete either .

I don't disagree but an absolute stonking in the men's game mat be 10-0 and having pre-qualifying until such a point that sone of the weaker nations catch up a bit is no bad thing.

It happens in the FA Cup, Champions League and kinds of sports precisely to maintain competitiveness etc

And 2nd place would mean a play off I think.

Could mean an automatic spot, but doubtful - see Dembe's 0.58 post.

Oh yeah, cheers

Fishlock is still a very good player. They were really pressing at the end with the French defence looking really panicky. With Slovenia only drawing with Greece the play offs are definitely on.

20-0, 11-0, 8-0, 8-0 & 7-0 all on the same night. There's obviously a huge gap in standards of women's football in different countries at the moment. I guess as some move towards professionalism some are getting left behind.

It'll come.

USA, England etc will improve alot slower where these newer countries will develop alot faster if the money and enthusiasm is there.

It's going to take a decade or 2 but the world is changing and I think it will take off.

Her winning MVP was mentioned by the commentator virtually every time she touched the ball last night and during the game the other night.

Oh okay.
I didn't watch the game but I'm sure I heard it last week some time, probably on the Welsh news.
Not surprising they kept mentioning it, MVP really is some achievement and I hear the top players over there are earning a good living.

Not sure if you saw the BBC news this morning but they showed the womens football games England, Scotland and ourselves in the sport section.
Obviously the girl White grabbed the headlines for her record number of goals scored for England and they showed her hat trick and a good few more of the 20 goals too.
The footage of the Wales game consisted of one of the French goals, 10 seconds worth and similar for Scotland.
Some things never change.

A 20 nil win shouldn't get the lions share of reporting?

[splott parker]

A 20 nil win shouldn't get the lions share of reporting?

Or lionesses.

[dembethewarrior]

Or lionesses.

And that
