Should The Women's World cup serve as curtain raisers?

At the moment the Women's World Cup is a bit of a mystery, its a great event, but not many people are as aware of it

Even though some country's women's team qualify whereas the men's dont (and vice versa), perhaps they should hold the Women's World Cup on at the same time as the Men's World Cup. If anything- the women's matches can serve to be a curtain raiser to the men's matches?

You dont see a male and female Olympics now do you? :-k

Not at all, the WWC is a very important football tournament in its own right that stands on its own two feet.

If anything, it's actually quite a sexist suggestion IMO. (I'm not offended though :lol: ).

I think it'd be a good idea to play one or two W-League matches as curtain raisers for HAL matches - for cross promotional purposes - but overall the WWC and W-League need to stand on their own two feet.
