2 Questions

 

So why have Brazil Women got a load of Stars above their badge when they've never won the Women's World Cup?

 

Why are the commentators comparing the goal scoring exploits of women players with the men like Miroslav Klose with 16 WC goals.

 

Surely the 2 sports and their relative achievements should stand alone.

 

Just a thought.

 

Exactly the same questions occurred to me, along with -- what if the US Men decided to wear three stars above their badge like our women?  I would be offended -- they are a different team, they should not claim what is not their achievement.  Might be worth it to catch reactions on here the next time they play the Three Lions and their one little star though

You are so much a Yank

Fancy the Scots to beat Japan today. Japan looked incredibly poor and physically weak against Argentina. Going for comfortable wins for England and Scotland today.

To try to answer the Brazil question: The women’s team (like the men) wear their federation’s logo, which officially incorporates those stars.

 

With regards to the USA and England,

-the USA teams also wear their federation’s logo, which does not include stars above the crest. The three stars are added to the modified version of the WNT’s logo.

-England’s crest/logo situation is similar, with the only differences being that their national teams wear a logo that’s distinct from the FA’s, and of course that it’s the men that have the modified version including the star.

 

There really isn’t an accepted standard on this yet, but the trend is moving towards distinct star applications for men’s and women’s teams, as you can see here,

Don't mind telling you but I'm bloody enjoying the women's world cup (a few duff games aside) and looking forward to tonight's game too.

Not looking good for the pink ladies here.

That's some hot tipping! hahah

 

Leicester won't finish anywhere near the top 4 next season

Still no Duggan

England Vs Argentina is frustratingly poor

[isaidno]

Great save

[spacemunky]

Good save, but Parris needed to get that further over.

Crap pen. Perfect height for a keeper

[Izzy]

I wouldn't mess with that Argie keeper. She reminds me of..

 

[isaidno]

Considering the standard of keepers so far, the Argentina keeper is having a blinder.

[Izzy]

Shoulda scored then really. This keeper is mustard

Phil Neville will give them a right kick up the ass at half time. England really need to step it up 2nd half

She's wearing Columbo's mac isn't she?

[purpleronnie]

Another poor performance so far, we look miles behind some of the teams that have played, I just hope we're getting all our poor performances out the way early.
