Watched the last 20 minutes of yesterdays game and I thought to myself......different gender but same old England :wink: :lol:

Seriously though, I was amazed at the difference in class when it came to technical ability - maybe because of the Arsenal Ladies team, but I had heard so much in recent years about how the ladies game in England was up with the best countries, but france gave them an exhibition in football yesterday :o They way they retained possession was in stark contrast to how the England team hoofed most of their passes :roll:

Watching the Women's World Cup reminded me of when I was first learning the controls to FIFA.



Seriously though Women's football has improved since the last time they had a World Cup.

There were about five I would have shagged in that last match.

Artifical surfaces are easier to clean, rodders. You more than anyone should appreciate that.

Due to a "misunderstanding" there's a court order in place that prevents me from being within a 5 mile radius of any women's sporting event so they won't have to worry about cleaning up any of my "spillages" :cry:

Danny Mills is a cretin. To highlight an example of how negative and uninspiring England were, he managed to scour the entire game and come up with one moment where they pressed France's defenders hard in possession and counter-attacked well in a move getting the ball to a winger in space and four fannies in the box.

I didn't watch it - I just accidentally turned on at that point

On Sunday night I caught the end of Germany beating Ivory Coast 10-0 !!! The scoreline itself was a joke but what really made me laugh actually happened in the German penalty area:-

The Ivory Coast winger put in a weak cross ... somehow the German keeper dropped it ... then the Ivory Coast striker the ball fell to headed it over the bar despite having an open goal ... and to top it off the whole thing was wrongly ruled offside :D

I appreciate this tournament gives certain people in the media and the public a chance they crave to prove how right thinking and tolerant they are by taking an interest ... but in the meantime women's football remains abysmal.

Tennis is pretty much the pinnacle of women's sport, it's actually watchable. I'd struggle to find anything even remotely competitive after that.
