Decent summation. As a spectator sport football relies on a level of physical intensity to generate atmosphere. Women just can't deliver that intensity. Bit like tennis, where they try to distract spectators from their physical shortcomings through the use of exaggerated exertion-type noises.

If there was real equality there wouldn't be men's and women's football, there would just be football; or any other sport really.

I thought womens football was big in the US - shows how much of an interest I used to take in the subject...

As for men and women playing contact sports in the same team?! It would be like pitching an U11's team against an under 18's, complete physical mismatch that would never work.
