My mate's manager's son plays for the Under 14 Oz team.
Brazilian women's team played them in a warm-up.
The 12/13 year-olds beat them three nil.
Thought it was funny.

I was watching the swimming world championships the other day and a guy who came dead last in one of heats had a time that smashed the women's world record. But that didn't stop me enjoying the female races or make their achievements any less impressive because there is a clear distinction between the sexes in these comps. The morons advocating for "equality" or whatever tf are undermining female sports by insinuating there is no distinction. There bloody is, but thats perfectly fine. Just like with weight divisions in combat sports.

Ultimately the buzz around this comp appears to be genuine and that's a good thing.

I disagree that people advocating for equality insinuate there is no distinction. Equal treatment doesn't mean identical treatment, but that's all I'm saying here, because this isn't a politics thread.

Ok.🫂

For real?

Yeah I’m calling bullshit on this unless proven otherwise. They’re fit, athletic women and boys that age still way off their best in more ways than one.

CF jnr is in year 8. The biggest kids in his year are basically fully grown men. It's not unbelievable when you consider Frank said it's a national team. So the biggest, fastest boys in the country

….who play football.

Anyone got a link ?

My mate told me, so that makes it's true.

Irrefutable

FC Dallas under-15 boys squad beat the U.S. Women's National Team in a scrimmage - CBSSports.com

The match was in preparation for Thursday's USWNT friendly versus Russia

Australian women's national team lose 7-0 to team of 15-year-old boys

Australia’s women’s football team are ranked the fifth best side in world football. So how did they lose 7-0 to a collection of 15-year-old boys?

[Frank]

@nzzp
The Aussie article tries to make it sound as if the 7 - 0 drubbing was some kind of fluke.

In fact both articles do - lol.

If it was an elite team then it's totally believable. Just very strange it hasn't been reported.

Far enough. Perhaps I’m exposing my naivety a bit, I would have assumed they’d clean up kids that young. Then again 15 is more physically able than 12/13…..

[Frank]

I think those Under 15 kids that beat the Aussies should be receiving equal pay as the women.

Can we keep the right-wing political and cultural war stuff to the Political threads so I can avoid them?

Thank you.

Maybe it was essentially a muck around for the USA? Just tuning up

Now 5. Wow what a smashing. The Swedes really are a team of fembots. They look like fair skinned long blonde haired clones

[sparky]

Spain and Sweden are the best two teams I’ve seen in this tournament.

[canefan]

US and England look to have dropped their level. England have suffered some big injuries though

[sparky]

England look solid at the back but Keira Walsh is a big loss and I think they lack speed in attack.

So far, this US team looks not nearly as good as their best sides in the past.

Of course the tournament is not won in the group stages....

France 1 up with precision football

These stories pop up everywhere.

Under 15 team in Texas cleans up the USNWT.

Devlin the other day mentioning his young fulla at 14 was in a boys team that cleaned up the Football Ferns 3-2.

But so the fuck what?

I've enjoyed what little I've seen (last 30 muns if NZ v Norway) and buts of Tillies losing the other night.

I enjoy the competition.

I don't think it should devalue the competition. Just highlights the difference between the sexes
