Did anyone catch the few recent women's A-League matches? I personally didn't see them but I heard the football was of a high quality? Anyone know where I can see more of women's football in Australia? (Top level football, not weekend stuff )

We don't get the Aussie games over here , in fact we very rarely get the English games here. I have heard there's been some good games over there though.

Have you tried the Aussie FA site , they may have a women's section.

Is this any help ALF?

not really, seems to be AFL Which is a dodgy game with an oval shaped ball! The FFA have quite a bit on the website and they say it is in its early stages I just want to see more football of the quality the Matilda's play, they're quite a good team

Sorry ALF - I'll keep looking

thanks for the help

I was watching a game on the Aussie National team last night when they played USA , it was a very good game and they were unlucky not to get something out of it.

they played last night, or was it a replay from earlier ? In Australia women's football is only heard of around World Cup time and then occassionally you might hear the A-League are thinking of starting a Women's competition...

Mind you - your country is one of those backward () countries where footie isn't the most popular sport, so the women's game must struggle more than it does here, I suppose

yeah I call it football and people go nuts "Its soccer, we're not from England we don't call it football"...the game really needs a shake up here, maybe an injection of British tourists?

yer its annoying when u talk about football and a team .. and then there like what .. i thought they played soccer .. "yeh mate wtf do u think im talking about!!!!!!!"

There are are parts of the UK where football has a different meaning to some people - eg if you say "football" in St Helens or other places where rugby league is played but they have no footie team of note.

To me, there's only only one "f" in "football"

yer thats even more confusing .. wen i went to a Bradford Bulls vs St. Helens game at Knowsely road or wateva their stadium is .. some saints fans were asking directions to the "footy" match .. and my dads like were going to the Rugby match mate ... what are u wearing a saints jersey for wen ur going to a footy match ?? plonkers im telling u

Hey Knowsley Road, St Helens - I did a course that was not far off that many years ago
Well, residential part and town centre part meant I passed it every day.

St Helens brings back "funny" memories for me

lol.. funny as in haha funny or weird funny?

I've deleted the other two to save his embarrassment

who me? it probly was my computer chucked a spaz and wudnt come up with th return to forum or view ur msg screen

Mine has done that loads of times it's so annoying.

Gunna call FFA later today, hopefully they will be over there New Years hangovers and give me some decent information about womens football. Happy New Years from Australia

Happy New Year to you

You'll find it all explained in this topic
You can always revive the thread if you've anything to add

The FFA must of been drinking hard into the early hours because on a Tuesday morning at 11am they had no one on the phones, so I left the a message...
