I tell you what. I've watched a few of the woman's matches & there's been a glaring difference to the blokes game: No diving & rolling around like they're shot. I'm going to have to change my usual insult of "playing like a girl" this season.
I haven't seen a lot of it in between but it's unrecognisable to the matches I saw a decade ago. Just out of interest did the Woman's team GB have the same problems taking players from all 4 countries? Is this team made up mostly of England players?
So that's what it feels like to be proud of a british football team. I was just saying to the Mrs...they never roll around on the floor for half an hour. Men need to take note.
Yep most of them English, a couple of scottish in the squad i think. Well done ladys great result! Bring on Canada
Yep I agree with that. Some good challenges going in also, bet Gareth Bale was watching that from behind his sofa!!!
Great Britain v Uruguay 19.45 Looking forward to this one tonight, can team GB top the group or will Suarez and co throw a spanner in the works! Also another chance to look at potential signings in Allen AND Ramirez
LINE-UPS - Great Britain v Uruguay (19:45 BST) Great Britain: Butland, Richards, Taylor, Caulker, Bertrand, Cleverley, Allen, Ramsey, Sinclair, Bellamy, Sturridge. Subs: Steele, Rose, Dawson, Giggs, Tomkins, Cork, Sordell. Uruguay: Campana, Arias, Coates, Rolin, Ramirez, Aguirregaray, Rodriguez, Viudez, Arevalo Rios, Suarez, Cavani. Subs: Gelpi, Polenta, Albin, Calzada, Hernandez, Urreta, Lodeiro. Referee: Yuichi Nishimura (Japan) Giggs on the bench, and Richards moved into the centre to look after Suarez
Hope Suarez gets a couple tonight but GB end up winning/drawing and going through. Should be a good game though, anyone know who GB get if they go through into knockouts?
