France v England.

Was just channel hopping and it is LIVE now on BBC 3.

Well worth a watch, for Hetton lass Steph Houghton.
She is good at footy too.

And Houghton scores a screamer.

France the better team mind.

 

Well if we have someone who can strike a free kick like that tom ill be one happy chappy.
What a great goal

 

She is only on £16,000 a year with Arsenal.
Maybe we should bring her back for our team.

Bloody hell 2-0 up now the French will be fuming. hahahaha

 

wouldn't mind playing in the box with her.

 

Thought she had done her knee again there.

 

Come on England woman better than the men

 

2-2 actually a fair result on play.

Two sloppy goals given away defensively.

No idea why they took Bardsley off in goal, the replacement didn't look very good.

It was actually a canny watch.
Some good footy from both sets of lasses.

 

2-2 Full time

 

Fair comment.
But!
They are struggling just like the men, to control the game by holding onto the ball.

 

Christ if that's right that is just criminal. How disheartening to be one of the best in the world at your chosen sport, and see men of similar (and worse) ability getting paid literally over 100 times your wage to do the same thing just because of their gender. Must make her sick. She'd be better off workiing in Tesco...

 

The picture above I pinched from this article Norfolk mate.

Like you say those lasses are outclassing players earning four times that amount WEEKLY never mind yearly.
