Absolutely love Vivianne Miedema! She's a fantastic player and a phenomenal representative for the sport. Gutted that Arsenal had so many injuries this season. They were really making a run at the Champions League trophy this year. Kudos to Wolfsburg for their performance, and congratulations to Barcelona on their victory. On to next season!
I love seeing the growth of the women's game! I was a kid when the first Women's World Cup was played in the US, and I was obessed with the game then, and I am still as obessed now.
Here in the US, women's football has had the benefit of our title 9 that supports girls' school sport at the youth level. There is still a lot to do in terms of improving the conditions of the game as well as changing some of the animosity towards women's sport. Definitely looking forward to the WWC this year!!
Don't be so humble, Nieve. All those thousands of fans were really there to see you! What a final it was, the atmosphere must've been incredible in Eindhoven. Keep up your great work, especially your coverage of the Women's game. 👏
@@SirHargreevesThat’s why there’s no atmosphere in the premier league. If I go watch bath city with money i can find in my sofa i get a much better viewing than those toffs spending a small fortune to go watch teams from places i’ve never been
Hello StuntPegg, I've been following your channel for quite some time now, and I must say it's fantastic, as I am a passionate person when it comes to football, English, and football in general. When it comes to women's football, it has been a constant struggle, but in recent years, sufficient value has been given to women practicing this sport. In Colombia, women's football has been professional since 2017 with the establishment of the Women's Professional Football League, where we have achieved more accomplishments than in men's football. The same goes for the national team. Last year, in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, the Colombian team made it to the final against Spain, a football powerhouse. I hope you can explore the world of football from this corner of the planet. Greetings from Colombia. I hope you can continue making these types of videos that contribute not only to women's football but also to society.
As an Hispanic, my first experience was watching the 1999 WWC. The lack of Spanish-language countries was not lost on me... Hispanic cultures are not kind to women.
If you want to compare the men's and women's teams you should first get them to play each other. You will then see just how 'accomplished' the women are...
@@xenomorph6961 not sure you're getting it. The women's game was banned for 50 years! Why? Because it was more popular than the men's game at that time drawing crowds of 50,000 and more in the 1920s. During this season the Arsenal Womens average attendance is higher than that of the Premier League. Is that not accomplishment? If you're intent on reducing the comparison of the sport to simply "who's a better baller" it is risky to presume the men's team would win so emphatically, even with 50 years of growth as a head start.
What a great game to broadcast the quality and immense growth in the women's game and what a great comeback win for Barca! Gotta say it's been a real privilege to see how much the game has grown over the years (I'll admit I was a little late to the party, my first tournament was the World Cup in 2015). The incredible potential for it to grow even more is super exciting and I hope there is a continued press for investment especially from the major footballing organisations. I can't wait to see our Lionesses (The Proud European Champions I have to add), back in action at this years World Cup next month.
We got an MLS team here in Austin a couple years ago and it's popularity has encouraged a couple semi-pro women's teams. One started last week, Austin Rise, first home game is Sunday! We were also fortunate to see the USWNT play Ireland a couple months ago. It was awesome.
I hope so Peter, on top of the football and brilliant country, I’ve actually got family in Adelaide and Sydney who I’ve never met, and would love to see.
In Italy womens football, had an increase in visibility, after the world cup in 2019, and at the start of the 22-23 season Serie A became a pro league!
You should check out the parade the ladies got in Chicago for winning the league. Stunning! Just shows how popluar and invested people are women's football.
Portsmouth Women FC have just become semi-pro this week. It's great to see the women's game grow in popularity. I'm looking forward to the World Cup this summer and I'll be watching with my sons just like we did the Euros.
It is also not as interesting to watch as the under 16s or 18s, that used to get lots of limelight at clubs, in the FA youth cup for example, yet somehow, a slower, less dynamic women's game, seems to get all the fanfare and centre stage. I wonder how that makes the youth men's feel ? How it might affect their future ?
I just found your channel a week ago and I have never seen an editing style that comes close to what you‘re showing on here! Loved the Bundesliga Promotion video and this one too! It‘s way too much fun :D
Barca women are my favourite foreign side. Always loved putellas for years. Last year was amazing. However in England I follow the arsenal women after watching them face Everton a decade and half ago
The women's game is so much fun to watch! Everyone really gets into it, and even for a second year team we've got a thriving supporters section. If you ever make it out to San Diego during the NWSL season my friend and I have a spare season ticket you're welcome to use.
This last season was the first I've had a season ticket for Forest's women's team as well as the mens. I was rewarded with a league and cup double to go with Prem survival. I look forward to the day I go to see both at the City Ground, both matter to me just as much, and it's thought weird you only support one
my club (corinthians) is probably one of the biggest forces in South American women football. we regularly sell out big games at our stadium (48k), we are 3x libertadores winners and hopefully going for the 4th
And yet my team Palmeiras was ranked higher than Corinthians. Even in women's football you guys can't match us any longer! Sorry mate, couldn't miss the opportunity to poke some fun. My mom's a Corinthians supporter as well. Corinthians rival, SPFC inimigo!
An excellent video as always. I'd also like to mention that the referee was from Wales - the nearest we get to having someone in a Euro final these days!
If you ever get the opportunity to take your show to the US, I’d very highly recommend traveling to Portland, OR (BA has a direct flight 😉) to check out the Timbers and Thorns FC. That’d be the men’s and women’s teams respectively. They share Providence Park which has some unique architecture, being crammed into city blocks and all. Light rail is out front and connects directly to the airport. Massive MASSIVE turnout and support for both teams.
Just last weekend the final of the mexican professional women's league was held at Azteca Stadium with 55K people in the audience, more than the people who attended the male's final (two weeks ago). Granted, the stadium of the male's final has less capacity and if it were bigger it would have had much more people there, but still, 55 thousand fans is quite impressive, even for a male team. And by the way, my team, Club América, won.
Womens football are awesome. I remember when first time i saw womens game in 1994 and that was something new. But i really like it. Congeats for Barcelona. This is a really strong team. I feel sorry about Wolfsburg because i am big fan of Ewa Pajor. She is absolutely amazing. I hope she can won Champions League in the next time.
I did not know that women were banned from playing on the grounds of FA clubs by the FA in 1921. I was born after the ban was lifted, but still it is a historical fact that I don't think I have ever heard told anywhere else! Thank you!
Womens Football is so fun to watch. It really is a shame that FIFA and UEFA don't support them more. Here in Germany it isn't even safe to say if the World Cup this year will be broadcasted on TV cause FIFA demands insanely much money (as usually), which the Public Broadcasting Service isn't willing to pay
it can be fun but it will never be equal to men because it's too slow and it lacks pace, power and phisicality that's why almost nobody watches it and as result it generates no money and to be honest nothing they can do it's natural thing men are stronger that's why they will never reach these levels
You sorta have it the wrong way round, due to criticism FIFA are trying to equalise the prize money between the men's and women's world cup by 2027 (in fact they have promised to do so iirc) which means they need to generate more money.. This world cup they are trying to push it to $152m or so, men's last year was $440m, so they will need a big increase for 2027. The only way they can really do that is to increase sponsorships and of course... ask for loads more money from broadcasters. As a result broadcasters are saying 'no thanks' as it does not reflect value for money and so they will struggle to even meet the $152m this year, let alone get anywhere near $440m in 2027 (probably more as the next men's world cup will likely exceed $440m) Basically, this big push for 'equal pay' is what is causing the problems, and entirely foreseeable of course.
@@abdelrahmanlfc8280 "almost nobody watches it and as a result it generates no money"? What an ignorant thing to say. Were all those people that filled Wembley and Camp Nou nobodies in your eyes? Media companies keep paying more and more for broadcasting rights not because they have to millions spare, but because people want to watch it and they make money from showing it. So far, a million nobodies have bought tickets for the next women's World Cup in Australia/New Zealand. Men being stronger doesn't necessarily make for a better spectacle, there are plenty of boring men's games, games where they drop like they're shot from the breeze created by an opposition player and writhe on the ground for a minute, while the replay shows no contact at all. Then there's the agro towards officials and from spectators plus the ridiculous amount required for a ticket to watch that rubbish.
imagine the barcelona fans if the mens tesm were in the UCL final, they would go mad 8 years without the trophy, but congrats to the ladies keeping the europe trophies alive for the club
Tú no te preocupes si el equipo masculino no gana champions. Nosotros sabemos esperar, algún día nuevamente tendremos los jugadores de casa, los que verdaderamente hicieron grande al Barza.
I'm such a proud supporter of women's football and to see it take off in the amount of time I've lived here has been so great, ah my heart feels full ❤ Viv is just so cool, I love her so much ❤ Being in the stadium whiles seeing both my countries play against each other during the Euro's was quite surreal and the atmosphere was so brilliant! The atmosphere at the Champions League match looked so brilliant as well, so happy you could be there! Was watching the match on UA-cam whiles I had the men's FA Cup match on telly but also got updates from the group that I'm a member of, we are so very excited for the World Cup that we're already swapping digital Panini stickers 😅
You keep repeating that women's football used to be 'banned' 🙄. In what way ? Was there a law against it, which would compel a police officer to run across the pitch, snatch the ball and slap handcuffs on the players ? The FA could refuse to supply a registered referee of course, but what else could they do to stop it ?
Fantastic Vlog Nieve. Colleague of mine plays, damaged her metatarsal. Made her Google "Sasquatch" as per her Foot Protection at work. Still pissed off Doncaster Belles got ripped off, knew some of those Ladies too...
Like women’s football but tbh it has only really grown because of heavy investment from the Clubs, Premier League, FIFA and the Media Being realistic there is never going to be a day when it’s on equal footing with the Men’s game I’d like to see a day soon when it’s able to exist on its own merit
One thing that excites me about women's football is seeing it develop its own culture, slowly separating itself further from the men's. Seeing the passion increase in the stands but without the male aggression is lovely to see.
I appreciate the retro music cuts! Even a little pre-Eurythmics Tourists, huh? Been watching women footie for quite a while now. Among my favorites are Vero Boquete and Rachel Daly.
Nieve, we are hosting the Women's WC here in Oz this July. I have never watched the women's game before (it hasn't really appealed to me) but I'll give it a red-hot go during this WC.
The first Woman's International game in UK was played in my home town scotland v England ravinscraig stadium greenock a day before I was born 18th Nov 72
Nieve, one question, do you find women's matches more violent with more fouls than the men's divisions? I saw a few online and they sure fight a lot more. There were so many fouls and the yellow and red cards did show once or twice. I forget what town but they were between very small towns in the US and England.
Womens football was not banned in the U.K. until 1971, the FA did not allow female football on it’s members grounds, that’s 92 stadiums, it could be played anywhere else and indeed ladies games were played on Luton town’s ground during the Second World War.
I’ve been following the women’s game for many years now, I would say from 2015 or just before. It’s great to see the growth in the sport and talent finally been seen by the masses, it’s still on the rise and many things still have to change to improve and help the players. I’ve even hooked my dad now that on Saturday he chose to watch the women’s champions league instead of the fa cup final.
Why does Viv Miedema sound Scottish to me!?? Aside from that, I love the coverage of the women's game. I've been a Sheff Utd Womens season ticket holder this year, after watching the Euros semi final at Bramall Lane. The only reason I'm not renewing it is because I've not been able to go to half the games, but I'll still go to as many as I can, and maybe even a few of the men's PL fixtures!
'S'ard bein' an international women's footballer from Rochdale Studs don't fit reet on me clogs 'S'ard bein' an international women's footballer from Rochdale People laugh As I ride by On my open top buz.
another great video. the storyline, interactions, music were all perfect - as usual. Hope just eat (grub hub in the US) will support a trip to the world cup.
@@stuntpeggnieve you're always welcome to attend our A-League games as well if you're here during the season, The Cove of Sydney FC would always welcome some exposure !
Always been supporters of mens and womens football, been supporting barcelona femeni ever since 2010 when the womens team arent that great. Imagine now.. so glad womens football is growing.
Seeing this final depressed me more how close we were this year to actually beating Barcelona, next year the women are going to come back stronger and might be our year. I do think women's football is getting bigger and bigger and I hope the new owners putt them in high priority since we are in pole position. They should put this game later as they do all the European finals, it would be Europa league then next Saturday women's UCL, then Conference and the last Saturday the men's final. This being played at 4 clashed with the FA cup final and F1
Your comic timing is always naturally impeccable every video Nieve
That’s so lovely, Thomas. What a compliment!
@@stuntpeggnieve You always make some throwaway comment that tickles me, I would say!

1:09 imagine pulling up to this thinking you’ll see Barcelona FC players but then the woman’s team walks out 😂
this was an epic match!
p.s. Viv is the GOAT no matter if she playing or not..
very hyped. Barcelone vs Green W. i was rooting for Green W team, very exiting.go women so much very
I wish it was broadcast more commonly here. If it was televised as much as AFL is I’d watch as much football as I could 😂
When people stop comparing the mens game with the womens game we'll all be the better for it.
The large number of ACL injuries is curious. Are their any theories about why?
Fantastic Vlog Nieve.
Colleague of mine plays, damaged her metatarsal. Made her Google "Sasquatch" as per her Foot Protection at work.
Still pissed off Doncaster Belles got ripped off, knew some of those Ladies too...
Like women’s football but tbh it has only really grown because of heavy investment from the Clubs, Premier League, FIFA and the Media
Being realistic there is never going to be a day when it’s on equal footing with the Men’s game
I’d like to see a day soon when it’s able to exist on its own merit
One thing that excites me about women's football is seeing it develop its own culture, slowly separating itself further from the men's. Seeing the passion increase in the stands but without the male aggression is lovely to see.
Such a cool experience. Love from the US
I appreciate the retro music cuts! Even a little pre-Eurythmics Tourists, huh?
Been watching women footie for quite a while now. Among my favorites are Vero Boquete and Rachel Daly.
Miedma's so cool. I appreciate this video. Thanks for real
Just watched Hammarby W win the swedish cup today!
Nice! I still need to complete my trip of Stockholm derbies with Hammarby vs AIK !
Brilliant video as per usual💪 Ben fatto!
Grazie mille! 🙏
Nieve, we are hosting the Women's WC here in Oz this July.
I have never watched the women's game before (it hasn't really appealed to me) but I'll give it a red-hot go during this WC.
I have already bought my tickets for the women’s World Cup . Should be great.
There was a potential spin off tease at the end of Ted Lasso for a Women's AFC Richmond team. If that happens do you think you'd want any part in it?
Oh that’d be an absolute dream. I got goosebumps all throughout that final scene, especially that teaser.
If you ever come to the US, the Portland Thorns have a great atmosphere for the women's game.
The first Woman's International game in UK was played in my home town scotland v England ravinscraig stadium greenock a day before I was born 18th Nov 72
Nieve, one question, do you find women's matches more violent with more fouls than the men's divisions? I saw a few online and they sure fight a lot more. There were so many fouls and the yellow and red cards did show once or twice. I forget what town but they were between very small towns in the US and England.
To be honest, I didn't see many fans in that stadium, instead there were liberal
have you excepted defeat..no no no..final whistle..yeah now i have lol
Great video. Thanks for this.
Thank you! Appreciate you giving it a watch
“The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.” (L.P. Hartley)
It's still jaw dropping how different some things were 50 years ago
love Miedema's accent, a bit Scottish, a bit Lahndan, a bit Dutch. great video!
Your reports never fail to enlighten and amuse
The mascot is amazing
Such a great video
your musical taste is golden
First women's European Cup final was at Luton Town also home of an illegal women's football match between Marks & Spencer vs Woolworths after WW1
Womens football was not banned in the U.K. until 1971, the FA did not allow female football on it’s members grounds, that’s 92 stadiums, it could be played anywhere else and indeed ladies games were played on Luton town’s ground during the Second World War.
Great video!
I’ve been following the women’s game for many years now, I would say from 2015 or just before. It’s great to see the growth in the sport and talent finally been seen by the masses, it’s still on the rise and many things still have to change to improve and help the players.
I’ve even hooked my dad now that on Saturday he chose to watch the women’s champions league instead of the fa cup final.
Your a true inspiration for women and I'm a Manchester United fan
Why does Viv Miedema sound Scottish to me!??
Aside from that, I love the coverage of the women's game. I've been a Sheff Utd Womens season ticket holder this year, after watching the Euros semi final at Bramall Lane. The only reason I'm not renewing it is because I've not been able to go to half the games, but I'll still go to as many as I can, and maybe even a few of the men's PL fixtures!
Love that! And you’re not the only one who hears the Scottish. Viv’s accent is wonderfully bonkers
It really struck me too how odd her accent is. She was in a long term relationship with a Scottish player so she might have picked it up from her.
She used to be in a relationship with scotland international lisa evans so I think she's picked it up from living with her
GReat video! the game is certainly evolving
100%. With every year. Thank you!
@@stuntpeggnieve no need to thank! Your editing is very soothing and enjoyable to watch! Take care
Nice use of The Tourists’ cover of “I Only Want To Be With You” at 3:22.

On my open top buz.
another great video. the storyline, interactions, music were all perfect - as usual. Hope just eat (grub hub in the US) will support a trip to the world cup.
I watch women's football just as much as I do men's. Go girls!
Me too!
i only watch womens (but keep an eye on the genius uni emry😅
@@stuntpeggnieve you're always welcome to attend our A-League games as well if you're here during the season, The Cove of Sydney FC would always welcome some exposure !
Genuine question, why?
@@cash4ash349 because I enjoy it
Always been supporters of mens and womens football, been supporting barcelona femeni ever since 2010 when the womens team arent that great. Imagine now.. so glad womens football is growing.
Great vid
Seeing this final depressed me more how close we were this year to actually beating Barcelona, next year the women are going to come back stronger and might be our year. I do think women's football is getting bigger and bigger and I hope the new owners putt them in high priority since we are in pole position. They should put this game later as they do all the European finals, it would be Europa league then next Saturday women's UCL, then Conference and the last Saturday the men's final. This being played at 4 clashed with the FA cup final and F1
Big up Rochdale lass, we need it😂
😂 wouldn’t want to be from anywhere else
Up the Dale!
Me neither and I was brought up on Sandy lane👍
