Enjoy it has it is..The ladies game will go up & down. A few years ago with Germany ,USA & Brazil,the game reached unexpected hights...& Great shirt-swapping... The men's game has also had its poor-dragging -boring seasons...and eras!!
Izzy Posted 7 June 2019 Author Posted 7 June 2019 Lovely goal by Henry (and she's quite fit - am I allowed to say that?)

I've heard it asked a few a times regarding the womens game (so I thought I'd answer it properly), like it shameful to make them objects of desire. Women and gay men (and some straight ) lust over Beckam or Ronaldo, so obviously theres nothing wrong with us saying we find one of female stars attractive. A lot of them are lesbians though, so you're barking up the wrong tree Izzy
KingsX Posted 7 June 2019 Posted 7 June 2019 Izzy’s still bitchin’, but he’s watching the whole match And why not … France are bloody good. It’s easy to handicap the WWC in the first round of group games … just ignore the ponytails and count how long it takes to figure out they aren’t excellent male players. Most teams, a few seconds. But France, a while longer. Add in the home advantage, and they have to be the favorites. In the bits and pieces of US womens friendlies I’ve seen lately, ours just don’t show the same degree of athleticism and skill. I’m genuinely impressed. NTM Corinne Diacre is not shabby (if you’re my age).
Corky Posted 7 June 2019 Posted 7 June 2019 Let's remember who the England manager is- 'Result makes it even harder for Leicester' Sevilla 2-1 Leicester Phil Neville Former Manchester United defender on Radio 5live You saw the difference in class and ability between the two sides. Leicester have made it even harder for themselves with this result. Fans were expecting to lose 4-0 and now they're almost dreaming of getting to the quarter-finals and that's how much this result means to them. Sevilla played the second half in second gear and Leicester still have to face one of the best teams in La Liga.

NTM Corinne Diacre is not shabby (if you’re my age). Quite proud of myself actually for watching a whole 90 mins of women's football for the first time in my life. That's another one off the bucket list My expert analysis is this (and I'm trying desperately hard not to be patronizing!) +'s France have three of four pretty decent players. I was impressed with their technical ability and surprised at their skill level France scored a couple of good goals. Well worked, good passing, good finishing. Again, pleasantly surprised Good crowd, looked like they had fun Game played in good spirits. No play acting or trying to con the ref (mens game could learn a thing or two here) -'s South Korea were awful. A total mis match but I guess that also happens in the mens game I found the whole pace of play a bit slow and laborious which was tough to watch at times Too many mis placed passes and moves breaking down. Got into lots of good areas then a mistake happened Jonathan Pearce is a bell end Will probably watch the England games if I'm not doing anything else tbh
ealingfox Posted 7 June 2019 Posted 7 June 2019 Can't believe a woman's team dared to turn up to a tournament, be shit and get hammered. You'd never see a men's team doing that.

filbertway Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 This is hilarious, it's like watching a kids school match. Quite entertaining if you're not looking for any kind of quality
Nalis Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Dont want to be too harsh as its a growing sport but the quality is quite poor so far from these two. Arent Germany and China supposed to be two of the better teams and all?

I quite enjoy it to be fair, I'm past expecting any kind of quality. It's best aspect is the pure unpredictability. Even the safest of situations can instantly turn into danger. A bit like watching Stones and Maguire defend I suppose haha Even Wilf would like like Iniesta in this game.

Nalis Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Hope China win this world cup, bringing shithousery and off the ball fouling to a whole new level here.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Pleased to see Huth finally get a decent runout with the German national team.
Nalis Posted 8 June 2019 Posted 8 June 2019 Just now, spacemunky said: How did China not score there? Ha yeah, it was a well worked move and a decent effort but very slow reactions from the players when it went off the post. Also, never a yellow. Whats 'the referee's a willy puller' in Mandarin?
