Fair points. Re: penalties, I found this quite interesting - https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c86gxqy5pyzo

I think the disparity in team quality is probably down to the tournament being expanded, and most countries having underdeveloped women’s sides. The expansion is necessary to encourage that development but also shows it up.

"Of course there are exceptions, and in the WSL a lot of people watch some games. But Premier League players perform for 50,000 every week and to millions at home. That is new to these players.

Didn’t think of that. Interesting read, thanks
