To coincide with the Euros kicking off, cheeky Irish bookie Paddy Power has released a video poking fun at people who insist women can’t play football. The viral
, posted to Paddy Power’s social channels, shows freestyle footballer Harriet Pavlou humiliating one male player in particular, after he suggested women playing football “doesn’t work.”
The video, which already has half million views across social channels, sees freestyler and Soccer Aid star Pavlou show off her stepovers, flicks, Rabonas, finishing and skills to leave the naysayer gasping for air. Paddy Power research found questions were raised as to why the country’s leading clubs have been hosting NFL matches and live music events, instead of Women’s Euros fixtures – 34% said women’s football should be prioritised over ‘other’ events, while a further two in five say clubs should have no issue covering both.
