Progress Made In Women’s Football

No, sadly we’re not talking about the fantastic and arousing sport that is the Women’s Lingerie Football League. Yes, that’s a real sport and of course it’s American. However, do you remember Sepp Blatter’s genuine suggestion made in 2004 to increase popularity for the game? “Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball,” said the FIFA chief.
“They could, for example, have tighter shorts.” To be fair, what sleazy old Swiss man wouldn’t suggest that – we’re just surprised he didn’t want to smother the players in KY Jelly and turn the goal posts into stripper poles!
But seriously, Canada has been hosting the world’s most talented female footballers at this year’s Women’s World Cup and the tournament has built momentum and a great following.
The stadiums have been filled with enthusiastic and lively supporters of the national teams. If you look closely enough, you’ll pick out Old Man Blatter hiding out in the tunnel, stroking a dusty one out. Really, he should want to avoid further controversy after the recent FIFA scandal with the FBI dragging his former colleagues for questioning earlier last month.
Even the England women have made it out of the group stages and shown promise to grabbing a trophy. Kind of a kick in the nuts to the men’s setup who by definition should have the balls to meet the country’s expectations of them.
