NrrdGrrl! Discussion Forum: Just Plain Talk: Girls like football too

Come on girls do like football too. I know I do. I couldn't believe it when my b/f and his mates told me "you're a girl you don't know anything about it!" Boyfy is currently nursing a sore head. Me violent? NEVER.
Anyway, who's gonna win the world cup?
I'm English and I'd love it if we could win but quite frankly Brazil will do it. Lets face it England have only got Shearer to hold them together.
But anyhoo, England fans would win if there was a World Cup of Supporters. We have a way of simply rocking everywhere we go.
Or do u disagree with me on that one?

Im english as well and I like football too. (By the way the odds against England winning the world cup are 14 to 1) One thing gets to me though. what i want to know is why my brother has to watch every single one of the 64 matches. Like, who outside the respective countries is gonna watch Iran verses Japan. (for example)

I think Scotland have excellent supporters... They may have lost against Brazil but they still done us proud!!!!!

Angel... don't let anyone tell you what you like and don't like because of your gender. In Brazil, soccer/football is RELIGION. I don't know a female who doesn't watch games there. More and more women are becoming involved with sports, and I think people are noticing that. If you enjoy it, go for it!

By the way, I'm Brazilian, but I really think Scotland played nice and clean. That can hardly be said of many other teams. The Scots do have to be proud. Not only that, but to my very own disappointment, I thought Brazil didn't play as well as we expected.

I'm an aussie grrl, but we get the world cup here too and I love it. Yep, Angel, lots of girls like football too. I think that soccer (as we call it here in Australia) is the best of all the footy codes, 'though I like Rugby League, too. By the way, Scottish Lass, you are right, Scotland is a wonderful team. As long as a team pulls together, has some great team moves and plays the game right, I'll like watching them. Of course as a loyal Aussie, Australia will always get my vote - but good luck to all

although i totally agree that a girl has every right to like love and live foot ball, play it and kick ass ect... personally i think as soon as the world cup's over the better, i think it's made worse by the fact that the cricket and wimbledon are on too so sport totally dominates the telly, and I can't stand that, but that england argantina game was dead gripping, i even managed to watch it up to half time until i got bored! It was funny beacause my dad, a dedicated member of the tartan army let out a cheer at owen's goal then looked dead sheepish,


By Scottish Lass on Thursday, July 2, 1998 - 03:52 pm:

I cant believe Scotland are out!! I went to see them come back from France at the airport and I got to see the "oh - so lovely" Jackie McNamara!!
Scotland still RULE!!
