For another...& Renewal of a passport..

and strange Visa charges...Tin..Tin gets his suitcase out of a dusty  cupboard..

You can see what even just a single goal can mean to a ‘little’ team.

Its taken from the 70s with two blokes watching a crap game of women’s football. One bloke asks the other why they’re watching it, until the end when they swap shirts it becomes apparent as to the reason why ?

 

It tickled me anyway

USA winning 3 to nil against Chile as we go into the final quarter ...   good off fence particularly from the main forward ball carrier whilst good blocks from the dee fence ...    :thumbup:

Based on repeated requests from absolutely no one, here is the first cut of the KingsX Womens World Cup rankings.

 

I use the Jaundiced Eyeball Rating Coefficient - Out of Focus Formula (JERC-OFF).  This requires the analyst to squint until their eyes start to lose focus, ignore the ponytails, and note: in a good passage of play, how long is it taking you to be sure you are not watching good male players?  With this, the sides can be placed into quality tiers.


Tier IV:  Less than 5 seconds

Argentina

South Africa

South Korea

 

Tier III:  5 to 10 seconds

Cameroon

Chile *

China

England **

Japan

New Zealand

 

Tier II:  10 to 20 seconds

Oz

Canada

Germany

Netherlands

Spain

 

Tier I:  These can ****ing play

France

USA

 

and with some regret …

Tier V:  Ladies, this is called a "ball"

Thailand

 

* promoted a tier for their GK, Endler.  What an individual performance v the USA :wub:.  She’s on another level to the other keepers, who mostly struggle to cover their line, much less the box.

** sorry, all I’ve seen is the Argentina match.  Probably between tiers II and III TBF, but … is that all ya got?

 

I do enjoy the top-level womens game on its own terms, and usually find the tier I and II sides a good watch.  That said, I’m not going to hold my life to catch Italy v Jamaica -- so if “anybody’s arsed”, fill in the gaps.  For something more serious, fivethirtyeight have now rated the womens sides.  https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2019-womens-world-cup-predictions
