The Lionesses...

Need to replace Daly with Greenwood, White with Russo and get Kirby to drop deeper, other than that all good stuff.

To answer sinkov's rather silly question: are you suggesting a team that "takes the knee" is actually racist?

I wondered exactly the same mon ami!

It all seems very odd to me, as do many things these days to be honest, there is a problem with racism in football, that's why there is such a dearth of black coaches and managers, that's why there is an organisation called 'Kick It Out', that's why players take the knee. Yet the England women's team takes the field with a white manager and not a black player in sight, and everyone whistles Dixie and passes by on the other side. They even play in all white ffs, how many clues do you want ?

France had only one white player in their side in their last game. England have 3 "ladies of colour" though you only usually se Nikita Parris play.
Spain were better than I expected though we gave them acres of space on their left wing whereas they subdued our wingers. Great winning goal though.

It's the hypocrisy that gets me mon ami. You need sunglasses to watch our lasses play.

A quick question: the Three Fishes at Mitton - is this one of the Nigel Haworth collection and how expensive is expensive?

Not that unreasonable price wise Supersub6, might have to treat the missus to a look through the window.

It was a serious question actually BT, the England men's team is thronged with black players, they're almost as rare as Rocking Horse sh1te in the Women's team. If the men's team was almost exclusively white there would be a media sh1t-storm, questions would be asked in Parliament, a working party would be set up to investigate. So...........where are all the black girls ???

Worry not sinkov, the FA is looking into the whole issue of diversity in the Women's team because they need more role models. Only three of the current 26 players squad meet the criteria and there is also a dearth of black players in the Women's Super League.
The Guardian and ESPN are on the job today furthering the cause.
Once the media, including the Norwegian media evidently, get hold of something like this the powers that be have to be seen to do something about the whole thing.
Perhaps they should also look into the gender issues which may or may not exist in both the mens and womens games. I'm sure that there are lots of other irrelevant things which could occupy the FA and the media in their quest to ruin our wonderful game.

Don't ever visit my home sinkov and ask the wife to knock you up egg and chips, that will seriously smash your hypothesis.

Are their any in the England ladies cricket team?
