I have been trying to keep track of this tournament, since it featured the first ever appearance of the Dutch ladies on this stage, but it was as i feared a major dissapointment. It's just that women aren't physically build for the game, much like the WNBA. Football is based on speed and technical skills and women lack both. Their enthousiasm is heartwarming but that just doesnt't cut it. I couldn't bare watching it for much longer than 20 minutes, and that wasn't just because of the timedifference, since i happily stayed up night after night to watch the Warrior-Rockets series, followed by the Warriors-Cavs. It's the lack of pace and skills that made me turn off the tv and go to sleep.

Nonetheless congrats to team USA.
