    My old man was in the crowd , can you see him with an Old Holborn role up, a group of mates clubbed together and brought a Bedford dormobile van and went to home and away games for the double season and the following 2 seasons, they only gave it up when it was stolen at an away game to Shef Wed ,lost 3-1 and had to hitch home .

    I was at that match. Think Big Smithy scored a couple IIRC. Happy days! Double on the horizon, could hardly bear the tension!

    I think the Burnley center half missed the ball and Smithy ran on to it and hammered it home, for number 1.
    No kissing,cuddling and sliding on the grass.

    Now another VAR disallows a goal for Cameroon! Neutrals booing England and they're making ridiculous errors.....
    See the tables being turned...

    I really am trying to enjoy the womens wc, but despite the media frenzy around it telling us otherwise, the quality of the football remains patchy at best.

    Todays was quite entertaining but only because Cameroon were over physical and reacted appallingly to a couple of VAR decisions going against them (both correctly).

    The ref today made the worst premier league referee looking like Colina, she was hopelessly out of her depth.

    But generally the football lacks guile, the crowds lack passion and its all a bit of a damp squib.

    As with the mens WC, a few good games with a lot of dirge.
    The bits I have seen, the USA are easily the most technically competent.
