as Sepp Blatter argued, would womens soccer be better if they wore skimpier outfits?

NO!  If you're watching the sport just because you're looking at girls then you are naught but an IDIOT!  Soccer itself is a beautiful game, if you can't see that then don't bother with it.  Furthermore, women have the right to not worry about themselves being watched for that sort of thing.  The best way to avoid that is to NOT wear skimpy clothes.  If they wanted themselves watched for that they would have become models, not soccer players.  (note, not an attack on the asker:P might be a frontal on Sepp Blatter, but he has his opinion...Don't know who he is...but he has his opinion:P)

They are no longer as tight as they were. If you see 70's footage of the game those shorts just looked painful.In my experience the women I know watch the game for the love of it and find it offensive that it's always said the tightness of their shorts was the only reason for watching.I alwys assumed they were more fitted cause it stops them being pulled at when they take a high mark.

why do soccer substitutes wear those yellow adidas or puma overshirts when they are on the bench?\n\nAnswer:\nTo distinguish themselves from the other players and to obey the rules of the soccer game.

American football players would be stronger and faster, but soccer players would have more endurance.  Depends on how you want to define being in shape...

Ofcourse Yes!!  Because FIFA, their home countries and the like will give them a huge amount of money with out considering the moral richness.\nIn addition, the players would be bought by rich European clubs.

It's a good idea, but I'm afraid it wouldn't work in practice.\n\nLook at the talk about Beckham going to America.  They have a maximum wage, but the president of the team he is likely to go to will arrange sponsorship from one of his other companies to make up the difference.\n\nIt would be like Chelski paying Shevchenko £50,000 a week, but Abramovich plc sponsoring him £80,000 a week.\n\nAll we can hope for is that Abramovich loses interest, and Man Utd relocate to New York.

bob t youre an idiot.\nif soccer was a gay sport thats when american men would play it... \namerican women are better than other countries at soccer because there is more influence in america for girls to play than for guys... the guys think that theyre tough becuase they play football, basketball and other sports that prevail in america.

I don't think so. They encourage fair play and that's what is being acomplished. We don't want soccer to become a version of American football.

If it kicks the same way, responds the same way on the field - why would the design on it matter?\n\nThe game is about which team plays best - not about the ball itself.

I agree,how the Yanks are ranked 4th is beyond me!!!.Above the Dutch,England,Italy.Sometimes i think it helps to suck up to Sepp Blatter to get a decent FIFA ranking.The English hate Blatter and everything he stands for,reason why we get looked down on and always end up with difficult qualifying groups for World Cups and Euro Championships.Or am i being harsh?

Better Player: Ballack. A terrific team captain!! Germany hasn't let in any goals since he played. Great assistance, and great ball control. I hope he scores one for Germany in the next match.\n\nBetter Looks: Ballack. IMHO Taller, Sexier... Tall, dark and handsome is just what he is... Love his eyes, too... I admit that Becks has the prettier face, though. But that's just about it. Ballack is more attractive... I've never been much attracted to Beckham... He's too pretty... He's even prettier than his wife.

My source AKA my wife who's a FIFA coach, says yes!\n"Quote" work with smaller and smaller balls down to  Tennis ball sized learn to control that and there's nothing you cant do

It has nothing to do w/the weather, or the openness of Europeans. It has to do w/the fact that too many women are completely superficial and believe that looks count for everything in this day and age. I coached girl's soccer for 11 years and I've played the sport for more than 26yrs, and I know what real female soccer players and fans look and act like. The "hootchie mamas" that we see on TV aren't real fans at all. They know next to nothing about "The Beautiful Game", couldn't name more than 3-4 players on any given team, don't know the history of the game, countries, or the tournament, and don't really understand the tactics and mentality behind the game. They're only concerned w/showing off their bodies, competing w/the other women, and getting a little TV coverage so that they can impress their friends. Sports should be left to the REAL sports fans and players, who really deserve to be at the matches.....hootchies and whores should be left at home....in bed where they belong.

Nah, the Swiss are a better team, they'd probably win 2-0.
