zero games . nice to have a break
I watched England last night, it's very different from the men's game that's for sure, but entertaining in it's own way. I don't think it's sexist to say and I'm not going to lie, I enjoy a shapely thigh, the argies thighs have impressed me most so far, the ref in the england game yesterday was quite hot as well.
Zero games, but seen a few seconds of highlights in the news.
Can't believe the amount of sour grapes from the jock lass and fans.
Threw away a 3-0 lead with 20 mins to go, stonewall pelanty, keeper way off her line, so retaken.
"Awful reffing" "Done by VAR" etc.
Bet they'd be praising the ref and VAR if they were "the other team".
Don’t mind the women’s WC getting the coverage that it does, why would anyone?
But I do find it hard to watch as a spectacle, especially the BBC making out certain things are world class etc.
Maybe that’s because I’m obviously used to the men’s game but bloody hell...get a grip.
It's nowhere the quality of mens football - but what is refreshing watching it is the lack of gamesmanship and rolling around looking for fouls - they do seem to just get on with it more than the men IMO.Quote:

As for the games I find some entertaining and others not so much. Bit like men’s football.
As said before the BBC have an agenda to push the women's game to cover for all the men's football they've lost. Get used to them gushing about women's football.
It does all seem rather forced and feels like the BBC are making a disproportionately big thing out of it.Quote:

Anybody watching? Reckon it could all kick-off this half.

Belter wasn't it. That looked very close even on VAR.Quote:

I thought VAR was for clear and obvious mistakes ?, things are compounded by football laws in recent years being bad, offside should be offside, handball should be handball, the grey areas around offside and handball are to the advantage of the big countries and big teams more often than not.
Echo's of England v Cameroon in 1990 when England had most of the 50-50 decisions, Cameroon were the better team that night on the balance of play, Lineker 'won' and scored two penalties if I remember right.
I enjoyed that, chances at both ends
Entertaining game but pretty farcical and not a good advert for the women's game.
I've been keeping an eye on it. It's OK. A couple of things I've noticed are that teams keep on attacking instead of trying to kill a game off, the tackling is pretty weak, and players seem to fade badly towards the end of the game. But it's entertaining enough. Yesterday's Australia/Norway game was pretty exciting. It's getting network coverage over here. Every game live. Not sure it would be the same if the games kicked off at night.
But womens 'soccer' is much bigger in the US than here isn't it?Quote:

Such a harsh penalty given against Japan
Yep, Japan have bossed this as well, if they had a striker they’d be out of sight.Quote:
