Men's vs Women's Game

Though I have only been a real football fan since 2006, my time has been focused on the men's game. How does the women's game compare? The biggest difference is the physicality and the speed. But what I like about the women's game is that there is less ego - football is more of a team sport than with the men. Don't get me wrong - the beautiful game is a true team sport (men or women), but there is a little more "I am the star" in the men's game. I look at Cristiano Ronaldo as someone who believes he is bigger than the team or maybe even the game itself. I really think the women personify "team play". It is very similar to the differences between men and women's basketball. With the men you faster and more physical play + it is often happening "above the rim" whereas the women depend on team play more (which is really how it should be played).

I enjoy watching the women's game because of the team play that is exhibited. I'd love to hear how some of you see the difference, etc.

let's Go Gold Pride!
