[Football] Women's World Cup

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Why are 90% of the England womens team blonde?

Racism?

 

[Silverhatch]

Sorry but our commentary! Nigeria played well but England were f***ing excellent too. After, completely ineffective, Lauren James throws the toys OOTP, we played extra time with 10, defended brilliantly and thumped the shoot out.

 

[Mackenzie]

Brill.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That final penalty was effing brutal.

 

[zeetha]

Well we're through to the quarterfinals but I have to say that we don't really deserve it until the penalties when we just handled the pressure a bit better. Nigeria, you have done Africa proud today!

PHEW!

 

[hart's shirt]

They're through. And barring the Bronze push in the box for a clear penalty, they defended well when down to 10.

But that's about it. 3 mediocre performances in 4 games now. China excepted, it's been unconvincing at best.

No team on England's side of the draw let alone the stronger other one is going to feel the need for any extra training based on that.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Nigeria will be dominant in years to come if they continue to play like that.

We did play extra time really well. Excellent subs.

That final penalty was effing brutal.

Reminded me of playing International Superstar Soccer Deluxe on the SNES. If you scored a screamer the little video screen in the game would show a ball ripping through the net.

 

[The Wizard]

Why does it matter?

Straight on the defensive I see

Just a general wondering, thought there might be something behind it but evidently not.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Now for the main event: Australia v Denmark

Still no Sam Kerr

 

[Silverhatch]

Nigeria deserved a win, but England battled brilliantly and met a fabulous keeper who kept three excellent Lioness chances out. Think we’ll play better without LJ.

Many women have mousey brown hair, and blond streaks/highlights make it look more attractive.

 

[medwayseagull reborn]

Is the second Nigerian penalty taker a friend of Solly by any chance ?

 

[BrickTamland]

Think we’ve done well this tournament considering the players missing through injury. Drastically different from the Euro winning team

Just a general wondering, thought there might be something behind it but evidently not.

Out of interest, would you have asked that question if watching a mens game?

 

[BBassic]

Brilliant counter that! Blimey.

 

[Wozza]

Romania did it first.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

1-0. Very decent Aussie goal. Carna Matildas!
