The angle of the blog should have been the fact that there aren't many female equivelents to these games. I know, I know, men are generally larger and faster and whatnot but still, when my 4 year old daughter watched one of the matches on TV with her dad she made a comment about how "men play soccer" because I think she was trying to figure out why there were no women on there playing. She's at an age when they try to figure out gender differences, you know? It doesn't make me feel good to send her to her soccer practice with her knowing that no matter how hard she tries, when she grows up she can't be like the men on the TV. I wish we went all crazy about women playing world soccer matches too.
