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 football but stuff like a tainted thing because it's here to say. t.v. viewership has never been higher stadiums are starting to get packed up. and brands are starting to invest in an untapped market which represents. 50 percent of the population. tell you florence you know her as a judge on the bandwagon and thanks to some countries like england have gone all in with a massive movement. other countries like germany who started to stagnate are now starting to follow suit. so even i don't know the names of those who go in the future and i'm going to tell you why but before you figure out why that is going to go ahead england and germany i think 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's 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 kept out england's football town for wembley 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 could be in the running code and attendance and of any woman's home game every democracy of precedent and so i think now we've had this out one place and i have seen other brands and i believe that goes down to the league and we see women in the women's game continues to grow both domestically and internationally yet it's a boy. games they played out wembley 7. i 77 post found some funds out there to

support yeah when i 1st saw a place a love like high level. and you do this for no money in the game people are trained in twice a week in the evenings professional and then you look at now more fully professional to understand 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 band since their start in 1902 the german national team has won literally everything there is to win multiple times. the buena sligo was once considered the best league in the world responsible for producing some of the best talent in women's football go inside because i was. born to some ties as a. guns feel. on don't need us to know.

more snow not do that but i'm self-taught and. some thailand say i was in for to go to live there is does is. it on the. last 2nd 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. 3rd 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 passion results are one thing but off the pitch and moving forward the president paints a very different picture so do you think we could see a game to this big with this many people organizing germany to. search for art to mention at the moment because we don't look at the. staying in school but i

really wish it was around. the performance. in the studio. one. for one side to. the statements. 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. into the only 19 barclays the biggest investment and u.k. women's sport history when they became the title sponsor of the f.a. u.s.l. in a multi-million pound deal without

a doubt the fact that box. has prompted all the big brands to get involved we've seen big brands like razor roll out huge compare and i think even the t.v. right deals here which will start to be in the next year or so will be even more competitive than ever before the d.s.l. is already you know 11 territories and there's bound to be everybody kind of wants a piece of that find out would definitely a point where brands want to be involved for a p.r. perspective but i think yes they are seeing the value of it commercially. chelsea and manchester city are 2 recognizable clubs who sit atop the w s l table a clash between the 2 filled 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 believe in

england the b.b.c. even has its own show dedicated to women's football but nobody watches a 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 equivalents of women really impressive turnout i mean over 3000 mean all season it wasn't reaching the figure so the shows on the women's world cup did for football in this country but the quality isn't that good well actually all the investment has led to improvement and the quality is greatly improved that's a fact in terms of the game is really good quality in tents or c. it's true the best teams in england a good metric to measure improvement is the number of passes per game i never that increases for better teams in 82001000 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 this league can actually shows where women's football should go catron 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 was one of the really in in the world i would say and know if you can see 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 bride she's now back in germany. with the creditors that. it could.

you know that we had a lot of men's team woman with. like showing off on to me about maybe you screaming . side and then as a young player. we are very fortunate. that what you know about big brothers like baucus who are really driving the women scared that the media also ball pops playing on my label we are kind of open to all that. but continues todd is now a player coach at rb likes it where they have big ambitions for building their women's team to compete in the bundesliga and internationally just like their men squad i wouldn't say it's the same but i think we have a see you alike who's like really supporting women's football and. you want us to clone you want us to play in this little one day so i think this is a really good commitment it was planned to come in and. get it as. good as

possible and also play for myself to. have to go after the recession so obviously the best players are going to choose the best leagues and given the current investments in a huge buzz around football in england that means more people want to play in the ws self unless people want to play in the bundesliga. this can be seen in a number of players that each league sent to 2019 women's world cup. like in london and if. a player have or can choose between. playing in a suit or western united i mean of course western united sounds much more interesting than maybe us in some 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 to evolve forward maybe have to get more men.

get into that because like you said the force may be more interesting to watch. because they have a much more. long tradition. commitments even one. group guns are. so nice and support you've got the prospects of winning the 1st ever domestic trouble in this country they're much does that perspective of making history. the 1st time and you mention. manchester city actually with the teams that drives the changes in this country because although all the women super league being created in 2010 or so years later as much as to 60 giant joins with if you all really kind to construct the box for women's football saw that they

were on the side in the debate of a purpose built ground so it's very much their home. i think also they see this idea of manchester city being the 1st group to award all of the list professional contract so they were treated to full time professional so they know that sharing 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 don't have a big deal for example in the men's game that would be totally unheard of 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 is having on the women's game is starting to cause others to take notice and follow suit and that is definitely a good thing. and if you're still not convinced it's not when they drew it anyway the footy on sunday with the significant other or. better yet to kick the ball

around with or stop fighting it. every saturday at 12 pm a church in the heart of balance is with people. to come for the moon song. to cap this special service some of the city's top singers performed poorly music for the past present. the spiritual celebration. was. the force is with human. life you are not i just. ask you was the lamb now. the official lightsaber tournaments in france or the world's genocides show what they're made up. may the

force be with them you. could be 60 minutes. i'm not laughing at the germans well i guess sometimes i am but they say laughing with the temple and i think deep into the german culture he knew to take his grandmother down to you because it's all that who care enough time rachel join me to meet again on the gulf coast. lutheran church and then. once a week music lovers from all over the german capital gather here. the
