Women's football

Watched the highlights last night, some hilarious parallels with the mens team.

 

First World Cup game ends in a draw; a 1-1 draw.

Against a team that they are widely expected to beat.

England take the lead.

The other team equalises through a speculative punt and a goalkeeping error (was it Green's lass in nets?)

The rest of the performance is insipid and a big black striker misses some good chances.

 

Oh, and the only female footballer I could name was Kelly Smith and she was still class last night, she actually looked like she'd compete in the mens game. Better than her namesake Alan, for sure.

 

:nods:

 

It's not just that, there are similarities in style of play. NZ are exposing a lack of mobility and wit, with a reliance on giving the ball to one person and standing there watching, expecting them to do something.

 

This ref is employing the underdog bias rule though.

Frenchies and Hermans look good.

 

England are frustrating as hell, Kelly Smith is decent the rest are depressing. Better than the Canadian side at least.

 

It's been like that for the last few years, Kelly Smith has always been in a class of her own compared to her peers.

Good words:

football

pavement

colour

England

chips

 

Shit words:

Mike

buddy

color

sidewalk

anything preceded by 'holy'

everything else

:lol: Here we go with this bullshit again.

 

United States 3 1 2 0 4 3 +1 5

England          3 1 2 0 2 1 +1 5

 

 

Tbf, the US Women's Football team has always been of a higher standard than England's.

Hey Mike has England ever actually beat the US (men or women's team) in a World Cup?
