I'm gonna be honest with you here.. I'm not a large critic of female football or anything, I have two nieces who are heavily involved in it in fact, so mercy me if this post is found <_<
But, woman football is far from the level of men's football, they don't come close. Prinz would not score against most teams, as most defenders would be able to prevent her from getting close to the goal (at least in the high devisions)
Now, why shouldn't fifa let women play with men? hmm.. well. The gentleman rules kinda prohibits men from tackling women, don't go all crazy on me and say that refelcts a heavy form for discrimination or anything, it's how it is.
You'd see players take down todays superstars heavily, and trying to avoid doing any power-tackles agains the women. Of course this doesn't go for everyone, but in the english game, the gentelman rules are pretty much the same as the rulebook, break them and get the country and refs against you.
If you chose not to believe me that's fine, but if you ever get to play in a match where you have men vs women. You'll quickly see that the guys are far more careful with tackling and rough moves against women (besides they fall way too easy judging from the WC in China)

Would change though if women would be treated equally. Although there is a difference in physical appearance and results, the main point why women are treated th way they are is because people seem to agree that they have be protected on the field or something like that. This will remain so, if women are not given the equal opportunity to participate in the male's game. If they would play in League 2 or even Conference, or who knows even Rhyman league, they would be given the opportunity to develop their own skills in a (physically) heavier environment, thus enabling them to progress to a higher standard.

I'm all for equal rights, but men are just naturally bigger and stronger, an women would get hurt. Plus what about at corners and freekicks when you see men holding on to each other, getting very physical? If men start touching women like that how long will it be before someone gets accused of sexual assault or something like that? Plus you'd have all kind of sex scandals going on in dressing rooms. No, it would never work, leave women out of mens football.

Hmmm, if you are serious about this I agree, they could make a patch or so that would enable you to play thre womens competitions apart from the men's league, but then again I will always opt for more obscurity.

Mixing genders in sports plain doesn't work.

I've played mixed netball and it's almost impossible on the male players. That is a non-contact sport but you can't even get physical in it at all, you basically have to tread on glass the whole time because if you actually go at 100% and a girl gets in the way then its messy(believe me I learned that in my first game). It just can't work because the girls cant compete physically, they just can't, its genetic.
