[Football] England Women v Canada Women

[ozzygull]

Really well done. Fantastic to see England make it to a semi final. Very proud to be an England fan at 02:30 this morning.

Wouldn't be an England team if they didn't make it a nervous watch! They were under the cosh a lot but gave everything - roll on Japan on Wednesday!

 

[Pavilionaire]

It's nice to see an England football team play like a proper unit with genuine team spirit, arguably we haven't seen this since the Three Lions of '96 with Gazza, Shearer et al.

They were under alot of pressure, but did really well, nice to see us winning, well done girls

As a devout sexist and all-round bigot, I for one am appalled.

How dare this 'team' provide more excitement and commitment than the real, rugged men, football team?

My bible will be receiving a severe bashing about this.

So, who's staying up to watch the semi final at 2am on Thursday morning?

Wednesday is Canada day, as I'll be a token English presence I'll be needing to find a suitable watering hole downtown Ottawa to watch. Bring it on!!

I did well there, went to make a cuppa and missed the first goal, ran it back to see it and missed the second...

 

[AZ Gull]

They totally outplayed Australia and hilarious to see two arms up from players on their goal line when Japan finally scored appealing for off-side

Yes, made me laugh too. Not really much else to do though, clutching at straws.

Perhaps those Australian women could explain the offside rule to you two.....

Sure didn't look it from where I was sitting, but I stand corrected.

Still think their claims were more from desperation rather than an accurate reading of the situation though. They just happen to be right...... typical bloody women

It starts at midnight, doesn't it?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Well this is rather splendid news.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

They had to work hard but they bloody deserved that. Mark Sampson might be a bit gimpy but he's doing a cracking job.

Does he wash their backs for them in the shower

Great result, did themselves and the country proud. I watched the first half but fell asleep for the second. Will need to practice more for semis

 

[Seagull on the wing]

1-2 As it looked,not a bad match,some thinking in defence is required instead of the usual hump it...quite often they hoofed it ,it hit one of our players and fell to the Canadians who took snap shots. But all in all,well done girls...tough match next...Japan,good luck.

Lauren Goshan is worth a search on Google

Gosh. Did they swap shirts at the end?

 

[Triggaaar]

It'll be a big old F U if these ladies do progress, the pittance they earn compared to those wankers that stroll about for the men's teams, shaking my head.

How many women's games have you watched in the last few WCs, and how many men's? I'm guessing you watch the men a lot more, so men get paid a lot more, regardless of how annoying they are.

Oh dear. A lot of negativity after the game

Refreshing to see no diving and no play acting. I recorded and just watched it. Good stuff.
