AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Guardian's been doing their own top 100 players the last few years, asking journalists, coaches and ex players to come up with the list.

Dickenmann in there, she was good for Switzerland against Scotland but far from dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 To be fair it does come naturally to you but it is possible to discuss football at any level without trying to disparage it by comparing it to football of other levels.

Tbh I don't see enough of almost all of those players to know, there's not a lot of women's football on TV and very little written about the European and US game, and it's hard to judge until we see who's ranked higher. The only name that stood out was Dickenmann, who played against Scotland for Switzerland. Obviously a quality player but she was overrun at times by our scurrying wee midfielders. She also lacked a bit of intensity in their draw with Poland, which put us in the finals. But her technique was a class above. I've seen Millie Bright play for Chelsea, can't recall her standing out, and I vaguely remember Spitse scoring in the Euro 2017 final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could make a case for a couple of others but when you look at the achievements of those on the list it's hard to argue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shes not even been close to our best player this year (for the National Team at least) but she has the biggest profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 A top 100 for women's football's gonna be a lot harder than the men's. For a start there's more a bit more egalitarianism in the women's game with leagues in four continents of fairly equal standard and the spread of quality in the national teams is also less "Euro centric". If ye wanna know who the best players in the world are for the men's game just focus on the Champions League and a handful of domestic leagues. Also there's a lot less coverage in the media which wont help matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by her performance against Arsenal there alone she should be comfortably in the top 100. The best Scottish player by a distance IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
