USA beat England in the Womens WC Soccer

[DanaC]

I think the British womens' game has really stepped up a notch the last two years. It is getting a higher profile in the sports roundups than it used to and I have noticed in my own area what amounts to a minor explosion of footballing girls :P So I would say watch this space. In a few years I think the British team will be a serious contender.

The American team seems to me to be streets ahead of the rest right now. I think its a much more mature scene over there. Perhaps because the mainstream (male) game didn't have such a foothold there. In the big footballing countries it's been an exclusively male preserve for a long time, its entire history. Big doors for our lasses to break down.
