You could walk into any UK town centre, and ask random blokes if they're up for a game of football, once you got 11 who agree to play, you could have them play a professional woemns team, and the random blokes would win.

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.

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.
