I hate the way the commentators try to make like we are witnessing something brilliant. Even a basic pass gets drooled over.

To be honest - I would rather watch these girls than some of the absolute tripe we have served up at times! That goal James scored yesterday was pure class - have I ever seen our 18 million striker Karlan Grant score such a goal? Never!

Credit where it’s due. I would support the girls even if it was Hockey or Netball because any achievement is good for girls sport.
