O/T:- England Women vs. Latvia Women, not a bad result to be fair

I've never seen a result as ridiculous as that on the BBC website. It makes a mockery of the womens game. Latvia obviously put anyone who would fit in a shirt out. Seriously what's the point. I guess the only way is up for Latvia!

Damn, meant to watch this and forgot!

Ellen White's best ever moment in a Notts shirt?

Quite possibly, no justice for Eli though.

More surprising was the reaction from them as the goals were well into double figures. Arms flung aloft like they’d scored the winning goal in the WC final.

Let’s be honest.. the women’s game is still in its infancy. You only need to look through men’s football history to see that games were a mis-match.
Our biggest win in the league is 11-1 v Newport… look where the 2 clubs are now.
Our biggest defeats are 9-1, 3 times.
In the Premier League there have been numerous 8-0 and 9-0 wins. The most recent in Feb this year.

Mismatches are part and parcel of football IMO. Although results like the women’s one last night are not good, the teams won’t improve if they continue to play teams of the same standard.

I think there is a difference between freak results and thoroughly predictable demolitions!
Most teams can get seriously thrashed on their really off day.
When it happens almost every game something is going seriously wrong.
