Ffs mate. Get well soon.Cheers, don't normally watch women's football but I'm stuck in the house with Covid so I'll give it a try
Yeah ok, that makes sense.No, there's a clear difference between men's and womens football. As you know, given the massively lower attendances in the sport. I am a supporter of the SAFC and England men's teams. Your argument about "not being passionate about the England team" might as well be expanded to cover all the other sports that people don't watch. If you like mens football and are English, I'd expect you'd have an interest in the England mens national team. If you like womens football and are English, I'd expect you'd have an interest in the England women's team. If you like mens rugby union and are English, I'd expect you'd have an interest in the mens England rugby union team.
This is pretty self explanatory stuff tbh, as you will know. As it stands, I do want the England womens team to win things, and England Rugby, cricket, tiddlywinks. I'd want every England team to win every sport, but I won't watch sports that I personally have no interest in
Saw a thing about a beach handball team getting fined for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms. Gutted it's a different sport to beach volleyball (is it?) but can see them getting a lot of criticism for that one

Again that's not what I've said at all. I've said I'd expect them to be interested in the bits THEY'RE interested in. If they're interested in women's football, I would expect they'd have an interest in a big womens tournament. If they're interested in men's football I'd expect them to be interested in a big mens tournament. You are just trying to be argumentative tbh. And I've always said, if people randomly aren't interested in the England team it's fine, it's the ones who actively want them to lose that do my head in. I'd never want an England / Britain team to lose, even in women's football that I'm naturally not too bothered aboutYeah ok, that makes sense.
People need to be interested in the bits you are interested in, but it is fine for them not to be interested in the bits you are not.
Yeah. Feel sorry for the athletes. Having it postponed for a year and then having a watered down version this year. I'll watch as much boxing as I can but not much else.Its going to be awful with no crowd, terrible in fact
Too bloody right there’s notno official thread from @hank williams ??

We're too busy with pre season, mateIn the true spirit of the Olympics, we should send a team of amateurs.
GB playing at the olympics deserves a proper thread imoToo bloody right there’s not
If there is an exception, it isn't a rule.Waste of time quoting the Brazil Olympics, it was the exception that proves the rule.
What was the attendance for the women's final in 2012?
You're aware that none of the events were well attended at the Brazil Olympics right? That's why it's the exception.If there is an exception, it isn't a rule.
We can all play the 'Ignore the stats that don't support your assertion'. It is called confirmation bias.
Oh, about 10,000 empty seats for the 2012 final, about 28,000 empty seats at one semi-final at Wembley and Old Trafford about a third full for the other semi-final.
Hardly sold out.
Give up mate he knows what he’s doingAgain that's not what I've said at all. I've said I'd expect them to be interested in the bits THEY'RE interested in.

Plus "the exception that proves the rule" is a saying that is always badly used. It refers to things like a sign that might say "no swimming in this pool on a Wednesday". The fact it only mentions Wednesday means it is the exception that proves the rule that you can swim there any other day. Not relevant to the thread mind, but always irritates when it's misused.If there is an exception, it isn't a rule.

I think there should be a special thread to quarantine all those bitchy blokes who have a problem with women's football as well, then we don't have to suffer them on this one.GB playing at the olympics deserves a proper thread imo
