53rd.

Emma Hayes trying her best at the end to bring some optimism after England hang on 1-0. "Well, that's what we want from a football match. We don't want them to be too predictable."

Just being played now. 🙄

And now there's a Mexican wave... 🙄

70 minutes played and England continuing to look very uncertain at the back when Haiti break. A 2nd goal would no doubt settle the side as Haiti tire, but it's been unimpressive fare from the Lionesses so far against the 53rd ranked side.

A friend from Nevill Avenue is at the game. But it's not his scarf. So there's definitely a minimum of 2 Brighton there. :)

The women's varld cup. Still, I'm enjoying the accents of the various referees as the decisions are explained. Today's referee is Emikar Calderas Barrera from Venezuela.

Time to give this a bounce before England's game this morning. Disappointing to see more penalties not converted (4) so far than scored (2). Smaller goalkeeper than in the men's game so more space to aim at. The quality of players that failed from 12 yards is very surprising too - Canada's...

The car will be back for the first home league game. Yesterday was just a rehearsal.

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which."

Unbelievable scenes in the Glentoran v Gzira United UCL qualifier. Glentoran get an equaliser in the 13th minute of stoppage time. The game goes to extra time, then penalties. Both teams score all 11 of their penalties including both keepers who took the 11th and scored. Gzira score their...

Feel free to turn up the volume. :)

I'd take 9-12th and earlyish exits in both domestic cups, but with a minimum SF in either the Europa or Conference League should we finish 3rd. With the likes of West Ham and Rangers getting to Finals and Leicester reaching a SF in the last 2 years, it's not beyond us.

A penny for the thoughts of ITV Sport. They've got a whole 45 minutes to fill before kickoff and the inevitable pre-match Sam Kerr feature will have to go back in storage.

Huge loss for Australia. But they should still have enough to get through the group stages though despite a decent Nigeria side. Getting her back for the Canada group game will be more important. Finish 2nd and it'll likely be Eng v Aus in the R16.

They've been very poor. One wonders if that 8-0 thrashing by England at the Amex still weighs heavily on their minds. And NZ now have a penalty...which they missed.

Australia beat England 2-0 back in April. They beat a combined GB side (mainly England) in the 2020 Olympic QF. They're FIFA ranked 10. And in Sam Kerr they've got arguably the best women's forward in the world playing for them. With the home support, they could make the Final at least.

To be fair, most of them are busy employed by BBC Sport. Contract terms include using 'record-breaking' at least once per article or show. Joking aside, it's been comparatively quiet media-wise with the TV rights only secured in June due to broadcaster perceived value and FIFA greed. Like...

Bit of a hard watch this. No shots on target from either side in the 1st half. Stott's playing well though. Hoping for better 2nd half as the game opens up. And fully expecting Sam Kerr to find the net for Australia in the later game against Ireland. Edit...except she's out for the first 2...
