Are the rules / laws of the games the same for the women as it for the men?

Yes totally same rules - new rules that will be in place for this season coming,

So they will still get booked for taking the're shirt off when celebrating a goal rather than being applauded?

Yes.
And that is a subs bench, not the ones that are 'on'.

Is that a Seagulls flag I see behind the England goal?

Not getting much chance to have a look, but the Scotch are playing better this half, tightened things up, it is their first world cup, they have not done too badly against a strong English side.

As Brucie would say....Good game good game.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Ooh, interesting, 2-1.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Ooh 2-1

That Bronze deserves a medal for that

Dare I mention the awful goalies, including the pathetic attempted pat just then. The achilles heal in most women’s teams.

As this is my first game (and enjoying it) do you get any fisticuffs (handbags) or even whole teams pushing & shoving each other, like in the men's game.
( and no, I was not going to mention, hair pulling and scratching)

Fantastic.
England will be totally gutted if Scotch score another now.

Disappointing audience of 13,000 at the game, but then again it is a Sunday and Sunday dinners don’t cook themselves.

NSC favourite (not mine) Jonathan Pearce ruining yet another commentary by out of all proportion screaming when Scotland just about start an attack. Had to drop the volume to eliminate the bore.

And what’s with the England replica aprons?

Did you notice how their shirts are beautifully ironed?

It is still less common than in the men’s game. But Germany versus China yesterday was fairly ill tempered with some nasty fouls and some pushing etc .
The media like to talk about the sporting nature of women’s football but having been watching this since the last women’s World Cup (my interest started when my daughter started to play competitive girls football) it is obvious that there is more aggression and some dark arts - which is I think a good thing.
