I edited my post to include an apology for the tone of my reply, but it must have landed whilst you were responding. I’ll keep watching and reading your stuff even if Daniel Craig isn’t returning you calls or Paramount won’t give you $20m and Margot Robbie. :thumbsup:
Well it just seems to be such a one-dimensional view. I reckon you must pour blood, sweat and tears into your movies to get the budget to get them made, find an audience and make some money. So it would serve no purpose to say, ‘yeah - but the special effects weren’t as good as Skyfall, Daniel...
**** me, why do you wonder that? Is it to try and prove some point that doesn’t need proving? I’m guessing your idea didn’t get anywhere and thank god for that. As the dad of a sports mad daughter, attitudes like that make life far more difficult than it needs to be. Let’s try an inspire people...
The quality will improve - of course it will. But for me, that is secondary. As the posts above have said, it is the spirit and the ethos that women bring to football that, for me, makes it a great watch, compared to the snarling, cheating, ref-swarming, diving and time wasting that is part and...
This reluctance to call a shit game of football a shit game of football isn’t restricted to poor games in this tournament. I made the mistake of watching the FA Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea this season, that ended 0-0 AET and went to pens. Now I fully accept there have been some great...
I definitely sense a change is happening and this England squad are catalysts for that change and trailblazers for future generations. (Whether or not they want to be trailblazers I don't know; I'm sure they just want to go out there and play their football - but 30'000 sell out crowds, bouncing...
All of this! And I for one am LOVING sharing this journey that this England squad are taking us on. I love the endeavour, courage, togetherness and never-say-die spirit in this team and how clearly they are loving their time in the spotlight and seizing the moment.
I love how they go out and...
The height of the keepers in womens football is broadly similar to the height of the average man when pitch and goal dimensions were first established 150 odd years ago. There weren’t many 6 foot 5 inch blokes playing in goal back then. So if anything, the goals for mens football should be made...
I know Alex Scott gets a lot of stick for being all over the telly so much (hardly her fault if she is offered the work, tbf), but that piece by Lucy Bronze revealed a real bit of class from Alex Scott who tipped her off in pre-match training that she'd be taking her (Scott's) place in the WC...
Brilliant. Love what this squad are doing and how much courage, spirit and togetherness they have. And just when you think they haven't got anything left to give, they find a bit more.
What was even better than the save was Millie Bright reading the likely outcome to perfection and being in the ideal position to smash the loose ball into the East Stand with a Spain forward breathing down her neck. Great bit of centre half covering play under pressure. Stopped a certain tap in...
I bet your daughter loved that! Fantastic that she has got such positive role models in her chosen sport that can inspire her by doing it on the biggest stages, in a cracking atmosphere and live on BBC. This team really is creating a pathway for a whole new generation of women footballers and...
Brilliant England!
They really dug in there. Loads of character and they deserve this and love seeing a packed stadium full of kids with their parents getting them over the line.
