I don't understand why anyone is interested in any soccer at all. Don't care if it's men or women playing. Adult human beings chasing a fucking ball on a grassy field and treating it like it's some epic, life or death battle is a very, very conspicuous behaviour in my book.
Don't get me wrong, just playing a game for fun is not the end of the world. But people take sports way too fucking seriously.
It's also pretty apparent that team sports are really just a "civilized" placeholder for warfare. Back in ancient times and medieval times, people didn't have giant, international soccer tournaments. They gathered their weapons and beat the crap out of the inhabitants of their neighbouring villages, towns and kingdoms and everyone was excited about doing it.
I would much rather be a spectator of these actual battles, where life and death truly hangs in the balance, than these pale, zero risk, placeholders we call "sports".
It's the only way to get me interested.
