The Women's World Cup kicks off this weekend in Canada but you'd hardly know it. There are no flags hanging from the side of taxis or cardboard cutouts of players in supermarkets - and I haven't heard Three Lions on the radio once. But that doesn't mean you should ignore the women's game - far from it. This tournament could really be one to remember, so you should definitely be watching the Women's World Cup this year. The idea that the ladies aren't as skilful as the men is a myth,While they may give something away to the lads in terms of pace and power, there is definitely no shortage of tekkers in the women's game.
The women's game is on the up
Crowd attendances for the female side of the beautiful game are rising and players like Eni Aluko, who featured on Match of the Day recently, and England captain Steph Houghton are getting far more media attention than they used to. (The Telegraph)
