Never watched women's UCL, don't know if have a channel that is broadcasting that live. Where can we see today's game? I mean I have pretty much all sports channels so I must have it but I don't know where it is on
Dazn has it. World Cup was even fully free on Youtube (and I watched last season games free on youtube too, all in English, live, better quality than what I actually watch for men's haha). Not sure if this season is the same on YT.

I have been watching their Euro and World cup and I must say that there are some really good players. What bothers me most is when you see perfect trough ball and then nobody manages to get on top of it. By perfect I mean measured by men's standard. In other words my eyes are betraying me since they are used to another level athleticism and that is what they miss most.
That's what I meant by off-the-ball. It's nowhere near men's football but I think it's getting there. They can cross, pass, shoot really really well, and naturally, that's what you get first improved.
Strikers and midfield would fit in perfect on mixed 5v5 too, but their keepers are still the lowest ability, in my view of watching a handful of games. Athleticism, as you point out, is probably the thing. No super bendy Buffon full stretch like pouncing cats, no Zlatan karate swings, etc. That will all improve with time, women's football has only really had a couple of decades of proper development (Arsenal in England leads the way, Liverpool is very stupidly ignoring it mostly).
IIRC Sportsbet even had deals with Estonia and Arsenal to train up their women over there.
Edit: You know what women's football
doesn't have? Play-acting! Not as I've seen anyway. It's the one thing about men's football that pisses me off.
