move up to the 10th spot. and it's a reminder of the top story we're following for you have been fresh clashes between greek border guards and migrants trying to cross from turkey the e.u. has told migrants the border not be hard. you're watching news from bernie and coming up next at sports life international women's day thanks very much for watching. but i usually do keep the grave of the books old for over russian home the 4th time flew for the most recently that we can in the words of at least the bottom of the ballet that the last dragon was worth has called the whole history. books.

i'm not nothing to look at well i guess sometimes i am but i said nothing which is a reason to have them think the printer jemma culture of looking at the stereotype to question it is think the future of the country that i not. needed to be taken as grandma down to me it's all about ok know i'm right joe join me for me for germans on the w. post. sometimes guys i'm sometimes called.

i'm sorry friends women's football is not up for debate anymore. you can love it you can hate it you can even say it's not the ball but that's not going to change anything because it's here to say. t.v. viewership has never been higher standards than to get packed up. and brands are starting to invest in the untapped market which represents. 50 percent of the population. tell you florence you know president just on the bandwagon and thanks to some countries like england have gone all it with a massive movement in. other countries like germany has started to stagnate are now starting to follow suit. so even i don't know the names of those who call the future and i'm going to tell you why but before you figure out why that is we're going to go to england and germany as they clash at

wembley in front of a sellout crowd. europe's historic power germany versus the continent's new gold standard england in $25.00 total clashes england only managed to beat germany wants this game however isn't even about the result it's about the record crowd of over 77000 people who packed up england's football town. to watch a women's friendly the biggest ever crowd to see the linus's on home soil a true testament to how far women's football has come and a look at where it's going. yes i think it's been the record on attendance and of any women's well game every is a much safer precedent and so i think now we've had this one really who's seen other brands and. for the league and we see women in the women's game continues to grow both domestically and internationally yet it's a. game to play that when police are. i 77 posts found some funds out there to

support yet when i fessed up played to a love public high level. and over here to this for no money in the game people were trained and twice a week in the evenings she was professional and then you could now more fully professional to understand where we're going we 1st need to go back to see how we got here. germany and england have a lot of history between them women's football has actually been banned in both countries yes banned since their start in 1902 the german national team has won literally everything there is to win multiple times. the boon to sligo was once considered the best league in the world responsible for producing some of the best talent in women's football. i was good size no dust near 00. point 000.

guns feel good. on and on. about been more snow knocked is a but i'm self-taught in. some thailand samples and for those who live there is. that on the. ross tech a very is a former national team player herself a pioneer oh and after helping germany win their 1st title she of squad received 50 said england on the other hand not so much. their place in the 2015 world cup a champions league title for arsenal no 7 and a league that left a lot to be desired that's about that but times change and past results are one thing but off the pitch and moving forward the president paints a very different picture do you think we could see a game to this big with this many people organizing in germany soon. it's hard to imagine at the moment because we don't look at. the stadium school but i really

wish it was around. the performance. in the. one. side. that f.a. w s l is the women's top flight in england it's 12 fully professional teams are required to offer their players pro contracts and have you think unlike in germany each team is affiliated with and backed by a professional man's club. and to the only 19 barclays made the biggest investment and u.k. will in sports history when they became the title sponsor of the f.a. w s l in a multi-million pound deal without

a doubt the fact that bach. prompted all the big brands to get involved we've seen big brands like reserve roll out huge comp a and i think even the t.v. right deals here which will be negotiated over the next year or so will be even more competitive than ever before. 11 territories and that there's bound to be everybody kind of wants a piece of the find out would definitely a point where brands want to be involved prospective but i think yes they are seeing the value with it commercially. chelsea and manchester city are 2 recognizable clubs who sit atop the ws table a clash between the 2 filled to capacity and attracted national and international media as well as various football social media outlets. to us our games are streamed on the f a player with no geo blocking providing convenient. worldwide access to the league

in england the b.b.c. even has its own show dedicated to women's football but nobody watches woman's football. oh they don't know women's football weekly highlights show on b.b.c. peaks around 1000000 every week and that's very similar to the popular british show much of the dead subs the equivalent for women really impressive turnout i mean over 3000 we know season it was in reaching the figure so the show's all the women's world cup did for when it's football in this country but the quality isn't that good well actually all the investment has led to improvement and the qualities greatly improved that's a fact in terms of the game is really good quality intense or see it's true the best teams in england a good metric to measure improvement is the number of passes per game and number that increases for better teams in the 200-1000 women's world cup the average number of passes was $83750.00 in 2015 that's a 10 percent increase

a bigger jump than any other competition in the same period. i think. you can actually shows where women's football should go catcher and berger is one of many internationals who've made their way to england's top flight to play as pros she hails from germany and knows the women's football scene well in both countries. for a very long time german elite was one of the only in in the world i would say and know if you can see the england just came from nuffin now a big german legend and i don't mean legend lightly because she actually has won everything you can win in football after years of bright she's now back in germany. with the credit is that. if it could. like in the

you know in that we had a lot of men's team won and was. like showing off on to me but maybe you screaming . at a young player to lift on me think we are very fortunate to have both what you know about big brands like baucus who are really driving the women's game but the media also pops play by play when we are studs it kind of stuck open to all that. continues. is now player coach rb likes it where they have big ambitions for building their women's team to compete in the boonies bigger and internationally just like their men's squad i wouldn't say it's the same but i think we have a see you alike who's likely supporting women's football and. you want us to clone you want us to play and to be listening. so i think this is a really good commitment it was plan to come in and the team and get it as. good as

possible and also play for myself to. have to to grow up with a reason so obviously the best players are going to choose the best leagues and given the current investments in a huge buzz around. i mean the more people want to play in the ws self unless people want to play in the boonies. this can be seen in a number of players that each league century 2019 women's world cup. like. if you know maybe. a half or can choose between. playing in a suit or western united i mean of course western united sounds much more interesting than maybe a sense of because you can also be a professional player ok so i'm not trying to compare women's football to men's football nobody's saying that we want to play in leagues with men or against them but man so-called does have a big role to play in pushing women's football for would maybe have to get more men . get into that because like you said before it's maybe more interesting to watch.

because you have a much more. long tradition. in clubs commitments you don't want to. keep guns are ya. know from so on and it's. a support you've got the prospects of winning the 1st ever domestic travel in this country there are much does that prospect of making history so you. are the 1st payment you mentioned. they want to manchester city actually with the team to drive the changes in this country because all of the old the women super league being created in 2010 years later with manchester city giant they joined with you all really kind to construct the box for women's football saw that are on the side and in the best of

a purpose built ground so it's very much their home. i think also they see this idea of manchester city being a fish club toward all of the list professional contracts so they were treated full time professional so they're going to share in the environment with the likes of pep guardiola and the rest of his side which i think is a huge step of the top 12 richest club in the world every single one has a women's team we can look at a number of players in the league who still might not have a big deal for example in the men's game that would be totally on head up so there is still a long way to bowl but what i am saying is that especially in england the positives the fact that the visibility the investment and the support it's having on the women's game is starting to cause others to take notice and follow suit and that definitely a good thing. and if you're still not convinced it's not when they are very good anyway footy on sunday with your significant other or. better yet to kick the ball
