UEFA chief wants to see sweaty women

I hate to say it but he has a point there..
Sex Sells and thats a fact..

Just look at how the likes of Ljunberg, Beckham and Henry have sexed up the game and thus attracting more supporters.. It might be for the wrong reasons but it does bring in the crowds and increase the profile of the sport..

Women's soccer is getting increasingly popular over in recent times but it needs something to attract more attention..
I don't mean they should play in hot pants and skimpy tops, just get sponsorship from certain brands, the clubs need to market their better looking players (like man U did with Becks)..
They have to get rid of 'butch soccer player' idea from peoples heads :rolleyes:

Its amazing what impression conversations about music and a well timed drunken wobble about the middle east will leave with people. ;)

Can't really agree with you here, these players are the exception rather than the rule, no one is trying to sell the entire sport on the basis of these players (I mean for every Ljunberg there is five Bowyer's or Dowie's) as Blatter and Johansson seem to be attempting to with womens football. They should sell the game on its merits - of which I have seen many and if there are players who are good looking then its up to their marketing to promote them rather then use the entire sport as a excuse for cheap, devaluing sterotyping.

I thought women don't sweat...they pespire... ;)

Pat O.. what I was meaning to suggest is that use sex appeal attract people to the sport and keep them there by the quality of the players and the great Soccer being played

Ah stop it KT.

No, it reminds me of a girl I dated, on and off, about twenty five years ago.. She was a head turner I'll tell ya BUT when she reached to the top of a bookcase for a book..GRUNT... when she got out of a car...GRUNT... when she stretched out in a pub to reach her drink glass........GRUNT. The noise reminded me of a hippopotamus with a severe dose of constipation. Yuk.

I couldn't relate her slim size with the noise. Just couldn't. Put me right off. :(

Ok Hamish.... :D
