Tis ridiculous to see a match in which players look to lob from distance a goalkeeper who is on the goal line. I don't see how adapting a sport would make it any lesser.

6-0. A proper gubbing.

England are ruthless in both boxes apparently. Crikey.

At 4-0 up in their opening game of a tournament, England were able to bring a striker on who has just signed for Barcelona...what the men's team would do for suxh a luxury.

As the men continuously disappoint, lets get behind the women !

Surely, the Germans aren't as good in this form of the game.

Just looked at their record

Nicola Sturgeon there to see it. That's going to improve harmonious relations.

I like this picture, taken by a pal in Utrecht. Cruyff quote means: "You can't do it alone, you have to do it together". One for the dressing room.

England were very good, some excellent finishing tonight. And most refreshing to watch a match with no cheating, diving, time wasting or bitching.

And you couldn't say that any of the goals were down to the standard of goalkeeping. All decent finishes with the keeper not having any chance. The Scotland defence on the other hand...

In fact, both goalkeepers were good at punching at corners.

Salaries aside, not sure why commentators /summarisers / presenters have to actually be at the stadium? Why not watch feed, from home / UK studio?

Great work by the England football team, though. Putting the blokes to shame!

Because you can see the whole game rather than view your monitor if you want and comment accurately on things like atmosphere & weather. It's why I stopped writing blog posts on TV games, it's just not the same.

There have been some studio based commentaries that I've heard in the past and they always sound crap.
