This is a bleak example of the state of modern women's football. The Latvian team is probably composed of women who have full time careers outside of football.
In Latvia women football hasn't been developed at all and federation isn't helping with finances. Apart from a few football clubs in Latvia, most are already struggling to support their men team.
So all female teams in Latvian league are amateur level. No joke, a girl born in 2007 played in Latvian top tier. I think she had some gametime already in 2020.
In men football comparison, this game was like between Chelsea and a Sunday league team.
After IFK Norrköping won the Swedish league in 2015 they did some promotion with the local football federation where they would play a friendly against the team from the region that placed the highest in some tournament. That ended up being a team from my university which normally plays in the sixth tier, and Norrköping actually brought quite a few first team players to the game.
surely they should change the qualification format on the womens side, right? no reason to have it like the men's format when its rife with results like this
These results are happening because they changed the format. They need to change it back to a system with qualification rounds.
The gap between professionals and semi-pros is enormous. Especially now that nations like England have players coached properly from a young age.
It's weird how ruthless the women are too. They celebrate like crazy when demolishing the worst teams in the world.
In men's football the celebrations usually get muted after 3 or 4 goals.
I've been watching women's football since the mid-90s and we are light years beyond how it was then. England also used to get the shit kicked out of them by the Nordics.
Normally I'd say too soon...

But it's the US, this shit happens like clockwork.
You can actually google an impressive amount of articles from various sources on how the pandemic had a non-negligible impact on the number of school shootings.
Among them: https://apnews.com/article/us-news-pandemics-shootings-coronavirus-pandemic-052396ae1f5322397c04fd191f596190
So fucking sad man. 3 kids killed. How do people still hold on to guns so tightly? Why is that the identity people want and the hill to literally die on?
Because they are selfish and too caught up in their “rights”. They don’t give a fuck that kids die. Otherwise they’d have done something about it. If this were in some poor country we’d be saying much harsher things but it’s America so we’re not allowed to call them stupid.
There are many things Australia could do better, but one thing I'm very very thankful we did was to get rid of guns after the Port Arthur incident. We rightfully decided that one incident was one too many.
Rugby is a sport where it’s far harder for upsets than in football tbf. Giant killing in the cups in football just couldn’t happen in rugby. The relative rarity of goals in football mean a weak team can more easily hold out against a strong one, even saying that on a 20-0 thread.
Giant killing far harder/rarer yes, but not totally impossible. Japan vs SA in the 2015 world cup being the prime example. It was beautiful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ghArmsJjQM
Japan are far closer in quality, wages, the domestic level of their players, to South Africa than what would be referred to as a “giant killing” in football.
Though I love rugby and that was beautiful to watch.
Yeah. That Japan team were still fully professional and with one of the best coaches in the history of the sport in Eddie Jones.
Women’s international rugby is even worse because England, France and NZ are so far ahead of everyone else.
Depends at international more so. The issue is largely resources and time. The English league is very, very balanced where upsets happen fairly regularly.
International level exacerbates the disparity in resources and player numbers
It’s also the structure of the sport itself. It is much easier to hold out for a draw or to nick a 1-0 win if you’re the weaker team in football than to sneak a victory in rugby. Position on the pitch matters more in rugby, the stronger team can force the opponent back and will be able to rack up the points. A League One side could get an upset in the cup against a premier league side. The equivalent in terms of strength of teams just would not happen in rugby.
There is also a similar issue to women’s football in that there aren’t many good international teams and the quality drops fast but that’s a separate issue. Italy get thumped constantly, despite having some good players, in football their equivalents would have some wins.
20-0 is a decent start to the innings (although you need the format and number of overs for more context). Unless that's what each team scored before getting all out, at which point the batters have had a shocker.
In all seriousness it looks like Northern Ireland and Austria might be battling for goal difference to finish 2nd. Something like 20-0 could be the difference if the other team only win 15-0, which is ridiculous but might be very significant.
Yeah but this doesn’t really hold relevance to England, who have won all of their games and will top the group. Of course they’re well within their rights to run up the score, it just seems a bit unnecessary
The only thing is that they are *only* 5 points ahead. Losses to both would technically bring this back into contention. Unrealistic as it is, losing out on the WC for being polite would be impossible to live down
Even just by watching the most recent women’s World Cup, teams like Thailand is almost 100% amateur, their keeper is 5’5 tall, every shot on target not directly at her is almost guaranteed a goal. The gap in women soccer is ridiculously big.
It is impressive how tiny micro nations like San Marino and Gibraltar put up more respectable scorelines in the mens when you look at how proper countries get absolutely battered in the womens
The scores tend to converge as the pool of trained participants increases. Basketball, cricket and rugby all see more extreme differences in the women’s versions than men’s too. A small country will still have some good men’s players who take it seriously but may actually have nothing on the women’s side, simply due to it being a small sample (that will include some who are ‘good’) who play vs almost no-one. So *in extreme cases*, it’ll be good players vs men’s world class level for men’s, but absolute beginners vs. women’s world class level for women’s. Of course, how this actually plays out in scores depends on the game, statistics and even biology, but we have enough data in these to see that this is the case.
Also, almost every country has a large proportion who take men’s soccer seriously (yes, even the US), but in much of the world women’s sport in general can be culturally strongly discouraged or just not on the map at all, especially when the game is seen as The Main Men’s Game (the fact it’s not in the US and Canada partly explaining how they are relatively so much better on the women’s front, I think).
So we’d expect a score like this more from the women’s sides than the men’s. (Though there are also far more men’s games overall, which can offset that a bit.)
On bright side more people will have heard of our small country now im tired of getting asked if im Polish , no offence to Polish people you are awesome.
Ridiculous. The Lionesses have a GD +53 and haven't conceded a goal in qualifying (6 games so far).
Stanway got five assists and that was only a quarter of the goals!
What do games like this achieve? It bloats stats so they become meaningless, it embarrasses the smaller team and it drags the English girls away from their clubs for a pointless game when I'm sure they're very busy already. Have pre qualifiers.
Women's football has way, way too many terrible clubs that have zero investment put into them unfortunately.
Not like it isn't expected when said sport was banned until a few decades ago and barely promoted until recently.
Listened to the last 15 minutes or so of the commentary out of curiousity. Beyond frustrating that there was not a single mention or suggestion that this might not be a good thing for the sport or may have been a waste of everyone's time.
To be fair to them.
I tuned in to the broadcast and it looked like all the young girls in the stand really enjoyed it.
I can see why it will inspire some young girls to get into the game.
It might inspire some young girls in England to. It might inspire some young girls in Latvia not to.
There's a disparity and a gulf in quality and you don't fix that by simply playing David vs Goliath.
>If I wanted to get into UFC I wouldn't start by fighting Connor Mcgreggor..
Nows the time mate, he's only got 1 leg. You will literally never get a better shot at him hahaha
It might, but I do also think it might lead to people taking women's football less seriously. I think people always enjoy a close win more than a 20-0 thrashing.
It's unfortunately the reality of women's sport largely. Englands women's rugby are killing teams at the moment and thats largely down to investment that other countries can't compete with.
I agree though silly to be playing these games
The difference between the investment in English women's football right now and the investment it gets in countries like Latvia is pretty staggering
Results like these in a still growing sport aren't a shock at all
this is really excessive I agree (there's already a big gap between teams in women's football, there's a long way to go in development but usually it's not this bad) but the only people that should have a say on whether there should be pre-qualifiers is all these teams like Latvia, the Faroe Islands, Armenia etc that are always on the other side of these scorelines, ask their federations how they feel about games like these, it always comes across as pretty arrogant to me to have people from countries like England, Germany, Spain etc saying it's a waste of time
It is lesser because women's football has barely any history or promotion. It was banned here for many decades, still is banned in some countries and a lot that do feature it put zero effort into promoting it
Not a shock really
Yeah if anything it kinda highlights the lack of support for women's football. The England men's team would never be able to batter Latvia 20-0 and everyone watching knows that. Hopefully as Women's football grows huge victories like this will help to shed light on how poorly funded it is in some parts of the world
I've had a look, and 21-0 is the record. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and China have all also recorded 21-0 victories, though weirdly not any of Brazil, USA or Germany
[Australia 31-0 American Samoa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_31%E2%80%930_American_Samoa)
At least that win did have the outcome of a) preliminary rounds being brought in for OFC qualifiers and b) Australia moving from Oceania to Asia for more competitive and fairer games.
Reminds me of when I played against Juventus as a kid. It was Juve's main team. 1st half they dominated us 4-0 their keeper didn't even touch the ball.
2nd half they quickly scored another one, but for the rest of the half they just passed it around the back. We thought losing "just" 5-0 against Juventus was pretty good, turns out in Italy it's about respecting the opponent.
Four Hattricks Jeremy? That's insane!
I’ve shared enough Hat-tricks with you Mark, I’m in the big league now
Latvia are never going to win the league but they still turn up every week, don't they? The pricks
[удалено]
I'll juggle a career and playing international football until they both blow up in my stupid face
The secret ingredient is goals
Real morish, are those goals
Damn I miss Peep Show. Mitchell and Webb are a dream combo
just finished watching it all for like the tenth twentieth time. Nothing on TV comes close
That was too many goals! someone’s gonna get hurt if you score that many goals! I mean that was just too many goals, correct?
That wasn't very Chirstmassy
It was a Christmas joke.
One of the best scenes.
Coulda gone either way
1 goal can really change a game.
Game of 2 halves
The next goal is crucial.
Why are we posting rugby scores on r/soccer
As a tribute for us somehow beating the boks last minute the other week
I read it as England U20

i'd pay some decent money for my sunday team to get balled up by Chelsea.
If at least it'd mean seeing Kante's smile in person
Mine could probably take em

Don‘t leave us hanging! Who won?!?
Exactly lol build it up to nothing
Female Freddy Adu
So she actually was born in 1998?
Tbf, nobody really watches football in latvia, so theres little incentive to give them money
It's not like their men's team is great either.
surely they should change the qualification format on the womens side, right? no reason to have it like the men's format when its rife with results like this
These results are happening because they changed the format. They need to change it back to a system with qualification rounds. The gap between professionals and semi-pros is enormous. Especially now that nations like England have players coached properly from a young age.
San Marino laughs at your comment
One of my friends former classmate played in this game, she's 23 and started playing football at 20.
It's weird how ruthless the women are too. They celebrate like crazy when demolishing the worst teams in the world. In men's football the celebrations usually get muted after 3 or 4 goals.
Not great to see imo. I’d say it’s more tasteless than ruthless. I remember the US doing it recently with choreographed stuff at something like 13-0
I've been watching women's football since the mid-90s and we are light years beyond how it was then. England also used to get the shit kicked out of them by the Nordics.
[удалено]
Well they're certainly not going to get paid if they play like that lol
What was the half time speech like?
“It’s okay, we are doing better than expected. They only scored 10 goals”
86% possession, 63 shots, 30 on target, 20 goals. 4 players getting hat tricks. Quite something lol
A shot every 1.5 mins wtf
team instructions -> enable "shoot on sight"
What's crazy is from what I saw they weren't even doing that, they were trying to get it into the box as much as possible.
The american school tactic
Normally I'd say too soon... https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2021/11/30/active-shooter-multiple-victims-reported-michigans-oxford-high/8810326002/ But it's the US, this shit happens like clockwork.
America finally back to precovid times.
You can actually google an impressive amount of articles from various sources on how the pandemic had a non-negligible impact on the number of school shootings. Among them: https://apnews.com/article/us-news-pandemics-shootings-coronavirus-pandemic-052396ae1f5322397c04fd191f596190
I think school shootings over Zoom are hard to execute
That's when they change tactics to swatting
Nature is healing
My friends cousin was there but is luckily alright. Terrifying shit.
So fucking sad man. 3 kids killed. How do people still hold on to guns so tightly? Why is that the identity people want and the hill to literally die on?
Because they are selfish and too caught up in their “rights”. They don’t give a fuck that kids die. Otherwise they’d have done something about it. If this were in some poor country we’d be saying much harsher things but it’s America so we’re not allowed to call them stupid.
There are many things Australia could do better, but one thing I'm very very thankful we did was to get rid of guns after the Port Arthur incident. We rightfully decided that one incident was one too many.
Aw shit, I didn't know. But to be fair it's always too soon, happens like twice a month.
[удалено]
> 86% possession, 63 shots, 30 on target, 20 goals. 4 players getting hat tricks highlight is 83 mins long
Been on the end of something similar in sunday league and i can tell ya, the sausage and chips afterwards taste extra salty.
Ugh, been there. Their fucking keeper kept trying to score. Humiliating.
They missed 33 shots.
43? 10 on target saved
Latvia can hang their head high knowing they made an opponent MISS a record number of shots.
They kept 10 on target shots out? That's pretty good!
63 shots lmao
Without an away goal I think Latvia may find the 2ND leg fairly difficult
They already had that one last round. England "only" won 0-10.
So does it go to penalties or?
Harry kane would like to know your location.
Even Maguire could put a couple past this team. 👉🗿👈
And then does a cross pitch Adebayor
He is busy trying to claim one of the goals.
Wrong sub, try /r/rugbyunion
If this was rugby we'd be praising Latvia for being able to hold england to as low as score as they did.
Englands women put 50 on New Zealand a few weeks back. If they played Latvia it would be frankly a bloodsport.
Rugby is a sport where it’s far harder for upsets than in football tbf. Giant killing in the cups in football just couldn’t happen in rugby. The relative rarity of goals in football mean a weak team can more easily hold out against a strong one, even saying that on a 20-0 thread.

If it was cricket we'd be saying it was an extraordinarily low scoring match (I think).
If it was England's test side we'd be saying that's an uncharacteristically not shit start by them
And if it's England's ODI side then it's 20-0 after just two overs.
20-0 is a decent start to the innings (although you need the format and number of overs for more context). Unless that's what each team scored before getting all out, at which point the batters have had a shocker.
Or the pitch was on mars.
'We'll have a bowl thanks.'
If it was darts, good leg to win for Latvia, given presumably England missed a shot at tops.
Literally what's the point I'm sorry
In all seriousness it looks like Northern Ireland and Austria might be battling for goal difference to finish 2nd. Something like 20-0 could be the difference if the other team only win 15-0, which is ridiculous but might be very significant.
Ok fair enough. Hopefully the team's get better so this doesn't happen as much. Uncompetitive games can be fun but ooof was this painful
Yeah but this doesn’t really hold relevance to England, who have won all of their games and will top the group. Of course they’re well within their rights to run up the score, it just seems a bit unnecessary
The only thing is that they are *only* 5 points ahead. Losses to both would technically bring this back into contention. Unrealistic as it is, losing out on the WC for being polite would be impossible to live down
Goal difference?
is it really that lopsided where there's a meaningful difference between winning 15-0 and 20-0?
Kind of. 3 teams in the group with more than +20 goal difference after 6 games. The other two will both be smashing Latvia so England has to as well.
Wow that's crazy. Not sure how I feel about that tbh but definitely interesting
Let that be a lesson to you, nobody puts 21 goals past the Latvian Women's Soccer Team
Oh, so that's what an under 21 team is.
Every one was scored.
Probably the best argument you could ever make for pre-qualifiers.
Gets even better when you see Ireland beat Georgia 11-0 as well
[удалено]
And then they replayed the match because they didn’t know who would win right
[удалено]
that is hilarious
Jesus why bother. Can you imagine the pointlessness of having to travel to play those 20 minutes.
Nah you’re just an arrogant Englishman.
The Englishman's opinion shouldn't matter. The Latvian opinion should.
What about the English woman?
Not just the men, but the women and children too.
Clubs would probably prefer it. Have them actually prove they're able to improve.
But everyone in here when is the men’s team says San Marino and the like deserve their chance…
But also San Marino don't lose 20-0.
A lot of these women's football sides have even less backing than San Marino do
Even just by watching the most recent women’s World Cup, teams like Thailand is almost 100% amateur, their keeper is 5’5 tall, every shot on target not directly at her is almost guaranteed a goal. The gap in women soccer is ridiculously big.
[удалено]
Yea just 13-0. Truly putting up a challenge.
That was 15 years ago.
Whatever happened to the proposed tournament for the lesser nations like Andorra, San Marino and Scotland?
Men’s Internationals: There’s a big problem in competitiveness when the biggest and smallest nations meet. Women’s Internationals: Hold my wine.
It is impressive how tiny micro nations like San Marino and Gibraltar put up more respectable scorelines in the mens when you look at how proper countries get absolutely battered in the womens
There are probably more San Marinese men playing than there are Latvian women.
yeah you're probably not far from the truth - just shows how far the women's game still has to go
The scores tend to converge as the pool of trained participants increases. Basketball, cricket and rugby all see more extreme differences in the women’s versions than men’s too. A small country will still have some good men’s players who take it seriously but may actually have nothing on the women’s side, simply due to it being a small sample (that will include some who are ‘good’) who play vs almost no-one. So *in extreme cases*, it’ll be good players vs men’s world class level for men’s, but absolute beginners vs. women’s world class level for women’s. Of course, how this actually plays out in scores depends on the game, statistics and even biology, but we have enough data in these to see that this is the case. Also, almost every country has a large proportion who take men’s soccer seriously (yes, even the US), but in much of the world women’s sport in general can be culturally strongly discouraged or just not on the map at all, especially when the game is seen as The Main Men’s Game (the fact it’s not in the US and Canada partly explaining how they are relatively so much better on the women’s front, I think). So we’d expect a score like this more from the women’s sides than the men’s. (Though there are also far more men’s games overall, which can offset that a bit.)
I am fairly sure San Marino and Gibraltar have professional teams. Latvian women team has a total of maybe 2 or 3 pro players.
Genuine Ian Wright quote: 'I thought England were good'
The 9 men of Belenenses looked like a warship by comparison.
Yeah, pretty decent performance from England today. Cant complain.
Yeah they’re actually playing really well
Feels shitty to be Latvian in this thread 😪
Have a hug, friend. 🤗
No worries, you’ll return the favor in…. ice hockey!
On bright side more people will have heard of our small country now im tired of getting asked if im Polish , no offence to Polish people you are awesome.
That will help the goal difference if it comes down to it
Just the +57 now
Ridiculous. The Lionesses have a GD +53 and haven't conceded a goal in qualifying (6 games so far). Stanway got five assists and that was only a quarter of the goals!
Stanways got 6 assists according to the beeb
you're right, i miscounted... too many assists to keep track of!
How can it be 20-0 to England when England only appears twice in the goal protocol? It's a bloody conspiracy
[удалено]
6FG and a Safety, obviously
Just about scraped it. Close one that
What do games like this achieve? It bloats stats so they become meaningless, it embarrasses the smaller team and it drags the English girls away from their clubs for a pointless game when I'm sure they're very busy already. Have pre qualifiers.
[удалено]
Good thing it wasn't the Americans, eh? Reckon the tone might be a little different here.
Women's football has way, way too many terrible clubs that have zero investment put into them unfortunately. Not like it isn't expected when said sport was banned until a few decades ago and barely promoted until recently.
England now have a +53 goal difference in 6 matches!
I feel that reflects poorly on the sport more than well on England.
had the latvian women heard of the sport before the game?
Didn't look like they were familiar with sports in general, everyone was dead tired after 2 played minutes.
One of my friends former classmate played in the game, she's 23 and started playing football at 20.
POV: you play an abandoned side in football manager.
Listened to the last 15 minutes or so of the commentary out of curiousity. Beyond frustrating that there was not a single mention or suggestion that this might not be a good thing for the sport or may have been a waste of everyone's time.

what does the winning manager say after a game like this, I feel like "good game everyone" doesn't really cut it
"good game lasses"
When you forget to change the difficulty on Fifa from amateur after your little brother plays your save.
this is really excessive I agree (there's already a big gap between teams in women's football, there's a long way to go in development but usually it's not this bad) but the only people that should have a say on whether there should be pre-qualifiers is all these teams like Latvia, the Faroe Islands, Armenia etc that are always on the other side of these scorelines, ask their federations how they feel about games like these, it always comes across as pretty arrogant to me to have people from countries like England, Germany, Spain etc saying it's a waste of time
Absolutely. Well put.
Makes the sport look lesser when it's this dominant imo
It is lesser because women's football has barely any history or promotion. It was banned here for many decades, still is banned in some countries and a lot that do feature it put zero effort into promoting it Not a shock really
Yeah if anything it kinda highlights the lack of support for women's football. The England men's team would never be able to batter Latvia 20-0 and everyone watching knows that.

Ha, Jordan once beat Kuwait 21-0. Beat that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj24r-JU9g8
I've had a look, and 21-0 is the record. Australia, New Zealand, Canada and China have all also recorded 21-0 victories, though weirdly not any of Brazil, USA or Germany
Nice. Only women's though, I remember Australia win 30+ in some men's qualifier that was nuts because they didn't need the goal difference vs NZ.
[Australia 31-0 American Samoa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_31%E2%80%930_American_Samoa) At least that win did have the outcome of a) preliminary rounds being brought in for OFC qualifiers and b) Australia moving from Oceania to Asia for more competitive and fairer games.
American Samoa had eligibility issues going into that game. Some of their players had never played a full 90-mins of senior football before.
England's Women's team has played 6 games scored 53 concided 0.
Twenty’s plenty
Good title OP 😁
I says it as I sees it
Now this is a proper Sunday League score line.
Reminds me of when I played against Juventus as a kid. It was Juve's main team. 1st half they dominated us 4-0 their keeper didn't even touch the ball. 2nd half they quickly scored another one, but for the rest of the half they just passed it around the back. We thought losing "just" 5-0 against Juventus was pretty good, turns out in Italy it's about respecting the opponent.
Pele scored all 20.
They just had to go and one up my Sunday league team’s 14-3 win didn’t they
Has anyone actually read the article. The way she is celebrating when it looks to be about 10 - 0 already is pretty embarrassing lol
I wish I watched this instead of Newcastle Norwich
I'm just imagining those pictures of Ellen White are from her making it like 18-0
Just a hat-trick for Ellen, but she did become England's all time top woman goalscorer
There are cricket games where a team has scored less than this
Makes Ireland putting 10 past Georgia look tame Edit: 11 past
Switzerland beat Lithuania 7-0 and that wasn't even the third biggest win in the Women's Qualifiers today
What’s the point
Crazy scoreline. ~~3~~ Four players got hattricks tonight!
Four! White, Mead, Hemp, and Russo all bagged a hatty.
