    That French centre half must have been at least a foot taller than the entire Korean team.

    Scandalous it's being shown live on the BBC when they don't have the cricket world cup, not even the highlights.

    As somebody with a young daughter who I hope will be into football one day , I no longer take the piss like I once did . But I still believe the goalkeepers let women's football down and always have . The outfield players are getting better and better and are decent , but most of the goalies cannot dive properly or catch anything above head height . Until they sort this out it will never be that enjoyable to watch for me

    The big battle just starting. England lasses vs Scottish lasses.
    Come on Sweden :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Some smashing pubs/bars in Nice. Ma Nolan's on the harbour. Maybe the odd barney there later on :emoticon-0100-smile

    Pen England. VAR decision. Marginal imo - but I'm blind.

    How the **** can you keep your balance without using your arms ?
    1-0

    Just love this use of VAR for "mistaken identity".
    As if some **** in the crowd would come on and score a goal or make a goal saving tackle.
    The games gone soft.
    England goal disallowed. Still 1-0

    Not sure why the BBC is plugging the women's game so relentlessly- the public interest is not there.

    Just watched a couple of mins of ENGSCO and it was dire.

    Players looked clumsy and many had a very heavy touch. Expected a slower less dynamic game than the men's team, but there is no excuse for poor technique and lack of ability.

    Expected TV viewing audience worldwide projected to be well over 1 billion for the tournament.

    There's 52 televised games so that's less than 2 million viewers worldwide per game. It's doable, but it won't be fun.
