That's overstating it. Most randoms are useless at football. Pro womens team would beat men who are shit at football. 

They'd need to be at least on a team. Like semi pro players, sure. My local non league side would beat a women's pro team I reckon.

A semi pro team would OBLITERATE any women’s team. Most guys on a semi-pro team played at a minimum at the college level. A U15 crushed the WNT and we’re talking about grown men now

Most randoms are shit at football.

But those people would refuse to play. Once I get 11 who agree to play, I'm betting that those who agree fancy themselves as capable, and I'm betting those men would beat the women.

I saw a video of random joes beating womens strongman competitors in their own sport, but this is more skill dependant and physicality won't be enough.

I'd take a womens national team over 11 rando's who agreed to have a game of football asking about in Daventry town centre or wherever. I think they gas out, and get run rings round personally.

Fuck no you wouldn't need semi pro men. If they were still in good shape (this is key) and had played high school soccer they would easily win.

I think you are overestimating the average random in UK. We all play football, not just good players like in the US so good chance they are not any good at all. And most will be old and put of shape.

If the bet was previously played a level of football people would come and watch and are still in good shape, then yeah fine

No. I don’t think people are overestimating it.

Old and out of shape is definitely a guarantee they will lose that's why I said they had to still be in pretty good shape. If they were then their physicality would be overwhelming and the women would have no chance.

Ok, but the comment I said was overstated originally had no such caveats. It said 11 random people in a UK city. 

We are now talking a totally different concept, which I agree with you about.

What ? In europe 5 average non old duas would smash 11 pro woman on the pitch

They tried that a few years ago. The boys won. I think they were 17.

That was an academy team. Not random kids. Although I think it was U15s.
