  • Who's the best female player ever?

    From Mark@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 14 14:53:39 2024
    As far as I know we've never had a discussion about this.

    I haven't got a clue myself. Mia Hamm?

    So the rss-sanctioned Top 1 woman player ever is Mia Hamm? :-)

    Is RSS really dead?

    Or maybe just hardly anyone on rss follows women's football? There
    wasn't much response to the best women's teams conversations either.

    Mia Hamm, Megan Rapinoe, Abby Wambach, Michelle Akers, Marta, Birgit
    Prinz, Christine Sinclair, Wendie Renard, Ada Hegerberg, Alexia
    Putellas... all are good shouts. There were also some Italians who
    dominated the game in the pre-WC era (Vignotto, Morace), but hard to say
    how they compare.

    Almost all of the above are strikers/forwards, because that's the way it
    is.

    I hadn't heard of Vignotto or Morace before. Would you like to tell us
    more about them?

    Elisabetta "Betty" Vignotto played in the 70s and 80s, scoring 467 goals
    in 461 Serie A appearances, and 107 goals in 110 international caps. She
    was pretty well-known in Italy in her heyday (I wouldn't be able to name
    any other Italian NT players from that period, but I did know Vignotto)

    Carolina Morace's career went from the 1970s to the 1990s: 415 Serie A
    goals in 315 appearances in Serie A (!), and 105 goals in 153 caps for
    the NT. She gained some fame in the late 1990s when Luciano Gaucci
    (president of Perugia, who among other things bought gave Muammar
    Gadafi's son a spot on Perugia's Serie A roster) appointed her to manage Viterbese (a Serie C team). It was a gimmick that lasted just a couple
    of matches. I wonder if it's still the only case of a woman being the
    manager of professional football club.

    It's not, but there aren't many:
