The World Cup Starts Today. We Have Female Officials Referees etc. Should We also Have Female Players? And Which Team Will Win World Cup?

[Sunrising]

We have Female Officials in the World Cup, is the next step Female Players?

Which team will win the World Cup?

A prize for two people choosing the World Cup Winners.

When the winners of the World Cup are known, I will ask the question again, and if the winners or nearest winners reply to my question, they will go into a draw and two will receive a MHO.

What is your opinion?

Teams in the World Cup:-

Canada - Mexico - USA - Algeria - Argentina - Australia - Austria - Belgium

Bosnia - Brazil - Cabo Verde - Columbia - Congo DR - Cote d'Ivoire - Croatia

Curacao - Czechia - Equador - Egypt - England - France - Germany - Ghana

Haiti - Iran - Iraq - Japan - Jordan - Korea Republic - Morocco - Netherland

New Zealand - Norway - Panama - Paraquay - Portugal - Qatar - Saudi Arabia

Scotland - Senegal - South Africa - Spain - Sweden - Switzerland - Tunisia

Turkiye - Uruquay - Uzbekistan.

A. We should also have female players in the World Cup.

B. The females have their own World Cup why should we have female Officials and Players.

C. It's okay to have female officials in the World Cup but not female players.

D. I'm not interested in the World Cup.

E. I'm not interested in the World Cup but I hope USA win the Cup.

F. Something else.

Men should not compete against women, and women should not compete against men. However, officials are not competing and it is fine to have female officials in male competitions, just as it would be fine to have male officials in female competitions.

[Sunrising]

I sure a small female referee would be a match for any soccer players that gets out of line 😄

Spain to win the World Cup?

[MrChinaski]

You're going to stir up trouble with the gender hating folk.

I guess the broader question is whether you should have open and women's competition. I don't know how many women would be competitive with men, not just physically but because men get paid a ton more in local competitions, hence training, etc. The Australian women's football team has only been all-professional for a short time.

Even chess tournaments are gender segregated and, frankly, there has only ever been one woman (Judit Polgar) that has been competitive with top level male players.

I don't see a strong reason for an open competiton.

[Calyptomaniac]

Refereeing is not comparable to putting men and women in a soccer game against each other, so it's not a "next step". They have separate World Cups for a reasons. As for who will win. I don't know. France?

[lilBigPotato]

There's already a women's world cup. The physical differences are too different to mix. For referees it doesn't matter. And Spain will win 😌

[AI Opinion]

Women already have their own World Cup, and mixed‑gender senior World Cups are unlikely soon because of pace, strength and injury‑risk differences. Mixed formats work better in youth or exhibition games 😊

From that list, my pick is Spain to win it all 🇪🇸
Dark horses in my mind: France and Brazil.

[AviatorTom]

Women have their own World Cup. It's been shown, several times, that men and women should have their own sports. Remember the high school boys soccer team that dominated the Australian women's team in a friendly match?

[AviatorTom]

USA will win the World Cup. The final is in Los Angeles, and we know how good California is with making sure the results what they want, regardless of reality. Of course, it maybe weeks after the final match before the winner is officially declared.

And, not to worry, USA doesn't even need to be playing in the final to be declared the winner. 😎

[Sunrising]

And with Donald Trump the President what could go wrong 🤣

But I'll wait a few weeks just in case, before awarding the MHO's.

[lightbulb27]

that's a whole new element of excitement to what is... kinda a boring game... the women should be dressed like cheer leaders, hot looking, with floofy hair. when there's a fault, they do some flips and a cheer with intense aggression like a baseball ump. that make it interesting to watch for a few minutes of hilights!

I won't be watching, I gotta get my nails done. I have a barn to nail together.

[DryGermanGuy]

Newsflash: The so-called females do have their own tournaments, where the US-American team is actually quite successful. And where males work as trainers, referees, officials, etc. Go figure!

[Sunrising]

Perhaps the US females might do better than the men in this tournament, so USA to win?

[DryGermanGuy]

Perhaps you should wait till next year, when the FIFA Women’s World Cup is actually happening?

[Sunrising]

So Germany 🇩🇪 to win the World Cup.

[DryGermanGuy]

Not this time, no. You can feel it in the air, when you have a really, really capable Mannschaft going in a tournament. 2014 was such a year.

[Sunrising]

Spain or France?

[DryGermanGuy]

... or Portugal, maybe? Who knows. Last time I correctly picked Argentina.

[NathanDavis]

I can't say it because it's bad luck...

but if they win... they would be the defending Champions, championing again...

[Sunrising]

👍 👍

[Sunrising]

US to win the World Cup?

[XXblack88]

yeah

[Xawyx-2]

There are female players but on Women's World Cup.

I'm not sure which team will win the World Cup, but my guess is Spain, or maybe Portugal.

[KostasKouvalis]

No. And no refs or commentators either😂
USA. Trump's doing everything in his power to ensure the tournament works out in our favor

[strateguy632]

[Sunrising]

So another US to win the World Cup.

[Abbycado]
