I don’t think women players should be used as pundits for men’s matches.
if Ryan Lowe was used as a pundit for a Liverpool match , you could argue that he’s never played at that level so he can’t really comment. The same goes for women pundits whether they’ve played for England or not. It’s not at the same level.
That is absolutely bang on. It’s a different game at that level.
I sometimes have a debate with myself in which I think, yeah but who would question Martina Navratilova's right to comment on mens grand slam tennis. I tell myself that she is a proper sporting icon as is Serena, whereas Alex Scott for instance, played in a niche women's sport and really has no business being in the pundits seat for top level men's football.
Give it another twenty years or so and things might be different. In the meantime, it annoys the hell out of me, that in this morning's Daily Telegraph, quite possibly also the Times and (almost certainly) the Grundian, there were match reports on all the WSL games, but none on Argyle's or Wednesday's matches.
