   Women have failed the womens game.

   There are more women than men, but no women watch….why would men watch when u15s boys football is a higher standard?

   Women's football has come a long way, and it should be allowed to continue growing. However, the growth needs to be organic and sustainable at its own pace, it cannot and should not be forced – in an effort to play catch up with the men's game as it is simply not possible due to the 80-90 year head start the men's game had. Indeed, there is a salary and investment disparity when compared to the mens game. Anyone who looks at the facts objectively will agree that the main reason for this is due to the difference in demand and viewership numbers. The main aim for the women's game should be to get these numbers up, and once it does, they will see the investment and salary numbers follow the same direction. At the moment, most of the women's teams and leagues around the world do not generate enough money to fund themselves, they have to rely on heavy subsidisation from the men's game to continue operating – which I believe the men's game should continue doing. Once the women's game passes the break even mark, and starts generating profits, trust me, you will start to see the investment and sponsorships grow exponentially. Right now, they need to focus on investing in the grassroots level of the women's game in order to increase talent development, as well as invest in promoting and marketing the game to increase the viewership and demand. I believe they will get there, but it needs to be organic and sustainable, which will take time and patience.

    The women's game needs more big name sponsorship. Big pharma's desperate for more exposure. You know Tampax? Well, I work in PR and I'd only be too happy to fly over to Johnson and Johnson and pull a few strings.

    She really shouldn't speak on financial investment, she sounds like Gary Neville when he talks about the Glazers taking dividends and leveraging. The pundits should stick to the game and not embarrass themselves in talking about financial investment.

    The problem with women’s football is they get free reign to say what they want with all the delusions, when you hear the stuff that’s said it makes you not want to watch it, other than the below par performances that’s on show, a non league team would beat that Spain team and the football isn’t fun to watch or entertaining in the right way, I watch women’s football for a laugh because of the mistakes that are made

    Listen. Either make women come and support you, or you could play in lingerie so us men would have an interest. It's either way tbh. Like 5% of men are okay watching it, for the rest it's torture. Either appeal to women or you'll have to do something to appeal to men and let me tell you right now, no men would be interested in watching womens football. I would rather go see my local u15 team than watching a "pro" female game. And that's the issue women will have to solve if they want this to change. Get of your ass and work hard for it. Stop crying for handouts.

    Some of the expectations here are unrealistic and show a lack of understanding of reality.

    If this was about women not having the opportunity to play I'd absolutely support their right to do so but it's certainly not that anymore.

    Most of those grounds where WSL fixtures take place are in fairly close proximity to the men's stadiums but even that isn't the point. If you look at the circumstances within which lower tier football exists in the mens game then ground sharing and travel issues are part of everyday life, that's before you factor in that half of your games are away fixtures anyway! For regular supporters of any club the majority will face travel of some form. It's extremely disengaged from the reality to suggest otherwise. Some of those facilities are absolutely fantastic, too. Far better than many grounds in Div 1 and 2, where they are self financed and every season is a battle for survival.

    Women want football. They have it. In fact, they've had it for a long time. They've got everything apart from one vital ingredient – millions of paying fans who travel absolutely everywhere for the love of the game. It's not elitism. Most of the mens game is a hard graft for fans and supporters alike. That will either happen in the women's game or it wont. You cant buy it, you cant fast track it and its damaging to the development of the game to just demand it.

    Karen can lobby for shared stadiums snd 50 percent of whatever she feels they are owed. Maybe, in decades, who knows? If they get there it will have to come from attracting the same level of support and generating the same level of income.

    Neville and Carra should have been hrave enough to tackle this.

    Just shut up mate.. your World Cup only attracted 15 million people in viewership.. when you pull in as many viewers as men’s football you’ll get as much money. Until then , zip your gap..

    Try asking Bronze what she thought she was doing before losing the ball and setting up Spain's winner. 3-5-2 in the first half was a mistake.

    England women didn't press, they allowed Spain to just pass the ball around and they basically just watched until nearer the end.

    You're never going to get equal pay or sponsorship split 50/50 in the women's game until it brings in equal revenue.

    Just because a treacherous government hire somebody to review women's football for political reasons does not make her qualified to speak on the subject as Dave Jones said.

    I am an advocate of women's sports and feel like football in particular is on an upwards trajectory, but some of the comments from Karen Carney are just detached from reality unfortunately. Take the idea about clubs building new stadiums on the existing site for women's teams. Building a new stadium is going to run into the tens if not hundreds of millions and is going to need a massive area of land on the site. How many clubs realistically have the money and the land to do that?

    This is the first women's match I watch from start to finish. I was watching it with my girlfriend and even though im not from England I was rooting for you before the match started.

    But I remember that during the match I was getting so frustrated. I recall saying "do they know they are in a World Cup final?" Multiple times during the match. They looked even more clueless than France in the first 70 minutes of the men's World Cup. They looked like they were playing a friendly. No ambition whatsoever.

    I know the skill gap between men and women is huge. Im taking that into consideration… but Spain surprised me with how good they were. At least in contrast to England.

    My country won the men's world cup. And the players know what winning that trophy would have meant to the people. They won it for themselves, for their families but also for us. I dont think this women's English national team realised what being in a WC final means. It was a pitiful display.
