I am sure the women themselves watch the games, not sure about Taylor though, certainly can't imagine he ever did prior to getting the job he has now. The top continental teams appear much more comfortable on the ball than most of the players in the WSL. They don't take hours on end to get across the halfway line only for it to be passed back again either!I think that is the case, but even if a continental team can attract the top players and pay 'em a few bob extra it's a measure of how much better the women's game is 'sur le continent'! I wonder if City Women and GT ever look at one of Barca's games. It might be that they would stroll against poor sides but when they play English teams the top continental teams are at least a couple of levels higher. I thought, when we got Vicky Losada we were filching one of the top continental players - might have been the end of her contract and they have a 21yr old replacement at Barca! And the likelihood of seeing these teams at The Academy next season looks highly remote!
