Match Day Thread Women's World Cup !

I see. A self appointed hanging judge & jury. Unblemished record to boot.

 

Think it was Hope Solo who said that a big problem is that women are simply smaller than men, so being able to cover a goal the same as someone who is half a foot to a foot taller just simply isn't going to happen. It's a good point, and maybe women's football could benefit from a reduction in size of the goals

 

Tight but 3 points. Canucks win 1-0.

 

Campos was brilliant, but very much an outlier on the height side of thing. I'd imagine most pro keepers in the mens' game are at least 6'1, when you factor in reach as well - google gives a figure of arm span in men being give or take +5cm more than height compared to only +1.2cm for women that must make a difference.

 

Doubling the diameter of the balls they play with may be cheaper

 

The BBC are showing every game because they have to fill their 24 hours with that or repeats of the same old thing, Eggheads or Pointless. Seriously looking at not buying one more licence (and I'm under 75).

 

I am happy the womens game is getting so much coverage and I don't expect it to be anything like the men's game but I just don't enjoy watching it. Probably because I have been brought up watching just the men's game and the send game isn't up to that standard. Which is a shame as I really want to enjoy watching it but I don't!

 

Probably wouldn't do well in a diplomatic job !
Togetherness probably not a strong point I'd have thought .

 

Not much fanny at football back in the day apart from Jackie Eagle, Angie Rowe and Michelle Dewberry in Kempton, I'm quite happy to see more fanny at football these days and playing the game. GYTOFTL.

 

Sweet and sour for Thailand tonight.

Their second world cup debut and they're getting embarrassed.

Giving Talking Pictures a go now.

 

I don't think Thailand can come back in this one, you know.

 

****ish crowd celebrating so excitedly as the smaller poorer country gets crushed.

Shame on Jonathan Pierce too for roaring like a **** as all the goals went in.

The state of football these days.

 

I read these comments without knowing the score, I googled Thailand women to find out , 45 interesting minutes on the internet later I still don't know the score ..

 

Aye not one word on how utterly hapless Thailand were. No ****ing perspective from commentator or pundits.

 

I went for 12-0 when I saw Diddy Dora in goal at the start, was glad I didn't bet on it when the 13th goal went in

 

Bardsley will cost us in the end, she always does. Telford would be a better choice even though she is a midget by mens standards. There are a few good goalies about in the womens game but not many, and they seem to make the most basic errors all the time
