Seems like I've been watching the womens game for ages now.....and it's been interesting to see how the standard has improved over the years [and I mean globally]...they play a really decent game, and the coverage gets bigger by the competition.

Looking forward to it.

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAL!

Play up, In-ger-lund!

Doesn’t look so good for Norn Iron against the Nogweegies though.

Hmm, Greene King are offering a free pint during the game if your surname matches a squad member. 5 Greene King pubs within walking distance of my mum's house...

Flippin' 'eck! In-ger-lund 6-0 up against the Nogweegies & it’s not even half-time yet

I wonder, is Gabby Logan preparing to go full Bjørge Lillelien?

Roald Amundsen, Liv Ullmann, Edvard Grieg, King Harald V etc and so on.

Embarrassing admission - had to look it up!!!

Flukey penalty....but you've got to capitalize on good fortune and take your chances [see my great soccer insight there!]
Beth Mead and Hemp were fab!

And I'm glad I did! Most funtacious.

Goodness me....what a game, that was tense!!

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #12 on:** 20 July, 2022, 10:44:09 pm »

Oh, I say! Jolly well done!

Saw most of the first half before being distracted by Other Things. Also I learned that “Batlle” is apparently pronounced “Badger”. I kept looking for one moving the goalposts.

At half time I said that Spain would score in the first ten minutes of the second half, and England would win.

Didn't bet on it, though

Well, I thought Belgium were really poor and yet Sweden struggled to take the game.
I believe that Engerland have nothing to fear.

I wonder if I'm still being blocked by an individual otp when I suggested (a couple of years ago
prior to the women's world cup) that an academy team of 14/15/16 year old boys would handsomely beat top women's national teams (despite providing links to such heavy defeats of USA, AUS and Sweden).

My point was that women's national teams would benefit from playing these lads in warm-up
games (and I still firmly believe that, despite being hounded by ~~armchair coaches~~ members otp).

I misread the thread title as 'footsie', so read it.
I was sadly disappointed.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #22 on:** 26 July, 2022, 09:51:46 pm »

Crivvens!

Of course it’s probably Germany next $:-\$

Play up, France!

Basil · « **Reply #23 on:** 26 July, 2022, 10:03:00 pm »

I want it to be Germany.
I want it to go to penalties.
I want them to show the men how to do it.

I see that Cammy Gnome appears to have resurfaced.
