could women playing with men?

lili

i have seen on euronews a young spanish girl 16 years old playing with a team of men for the second division in spain.
the poor girl suffured and didn't get a lot of passes of her team mates. athletically and technically speaking she has been under the level.

do you think it could be possible to see women playing in the same squad than men one day?

there are probably women out there who would be good enough to play on (some) mens teams. but i dont think it will ever happen. well, i hope it doesn't ever happen.

wheres the problem in having a seperate womens and mens team? would a man be allowed play on a womens team?

crazy idea...

maybe because the level in female leagues is not well balanced. some women of US or brazilian teams seems so over the others.
also it could be a challenge for some strong women.

Did you ever see womens Football on sky. Its not anywhere near the level of the mens game. Also a women wouldnt be physically capable of playing in a mans team she would get destroyed and thats not a personal view thats a fact.
Dont get me wrong here I fully support women getting involved in football and hope it continues to grow but theres no way a women could play in a mans team and I dont see anything wrong with this.

I remember reading about a woman professional who plays for the Mexican womens football team, appartnly the "pele" of womens football.

Anyway, apparantly she trained with the mens national team in Mexico, and was brilliant, so good infact, that Mexico requested FIFA to allow her to play in WC qaulifyers for the full mens national team.

She is a striker I think. Cant remember her name. Torres possibly. Cant find link though

i heard about this mexican indeed.

i'm ok with what has been said. a woman don't have her place in a men team. even if she is skilly enough she never would match them physically.

maybe a woman can match men for rallye races. a french woman did it already, her name was michèle mouton.

One of the problems with having women playing in mens teams is that most men would (or at least should) have a problem with making physical tackles on them.

Some of the better looking ones would also be a distraction for their own team

You gotta first ask yourself WHY is she playing in that team if she is athletically and technically speaking under the level demanded of that team.

If a woman can get in a team because she is good enough then thats fine by me but if a woman was in my team as a PR stunt or a gimmick then I wouldn't be passing to her either.
