World cup in Canada

[Brockley_Jack]

Anyone else stay up to watch the ladies show us how it's done? Personally I really enjoyed that. They got stuck in, really wanted it and rode their luck at crucial points. I didn't think we would get out of the group but lo and behold we are now in a semi final against a supposedly good but unconvincing Japanese side. Bring it on!

Nice to have an England team being competitive in a World Cup. Maybe they are showing how it should be done by appointing a man as coach. Perhaps the men's team should appoint a women Manager?

As honest as it probably is, I can't really get into bint fitba, because it's well, erm, bint fitba.

It ain't for everyone I guess.




PS - the playing standard's pretty good too.

The beautiful game !
What's not to like !?

The semi final v Japan is a midnight ko so won't be watching due to an early turn to for work and all that boring stuff, unfortunately.

Good luck to the Lionesses. Make us smile .

You're right Jack, it ain't for everybody. I mean look at those hair extensions...classy!!

Thank god it's over (effectively). The Beeb making such a big thing of it because it's one of the few things they have left to show.

I guess it would've been interesting to see the viewing figures had it been on at a watchable time. Probably similar to most Olympic sports (Curling being a good example), you watch at the time because they're there (and there's a fit female in the team), but 2 weeks later you couldn't give a monkeys.

Very disappointing to wake up & find out that the girls had lost in the way they did. Due to being up at 6:30 I didn't stay up to watch it either, despite the temptation.

They should have won

Very unfortunate...have to admit I enjoyed the game, good standard as well.

Well its nice t know that you were proper committed to looking for the girls result even though you didn't watch it. Proper women's football fan you are. Tempted but didn't bother. Oh, you support Southampton. Now I get it.

It reminded me of low-level schoolboy football. I really couldn't get interested in it. Bring on the new Premier League season and Europe!
