so while the ladies / girls game will always have its haters, the standard is improving, some of them little one / two touch triangles Spain used were outstanding, take it for what it is and its enjoyable
If the Woman’s game has its haters, it’s purely down to over promotion in the media.
I tuned in and I thought it was a pretty poor standard.

I don’t think that anybody would hate on the game if it wasn’t as politicized or promoted as it is.
