[Football] England women v New Zealand at the Amex, June 1

[Simgull]

Chaos at Brighton station due to train fare not being included in match ticket - suspect there will be a few late arrivals.

They have to take you back to the 1950's first

Or Burnley

Important question here. Does anyone know if women's football is more grown up so you can have a beer in your seat as it's such a nice day or have they followed the archaic men's rules?

Men’s rules apparently - I’ve just this minute failed in my attempt at the more civilised approach. Whether that’s the law as in men’s football or simply Amex rules I don’t know (they’re also applying the stupid bottle top rule)

There is a drum at the Amex

The pitch is quite a bit smaller. Lots of grass behind the goals.

Think we should sign the NZ goalie.

For those not going - the match is live on BBC ONE - prog starts at 12.45pm, KO 1pm.

Great to see The Amex on bbc mainstream.

Looks the same size as always to me.

The Amex is a really good size and build for hosting women's internationals. Great advert for the stadium.

Crap game and a crap standard. So many mistakes.

Wait, are you watching the review of our season?

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Quite enjoying it from my sofa to be fair. Quite surprised how good the standard is as the last time I watched it was dreadful

Doesn't the Amex look weird with so little blue around - lots of red and white mainly.

I think the standard is awful , missed placed passes everywhere , and that is England, New Zealand are draedful

The pitch does look smaller to me but not that it matters. I think where the grass is a lot brighter/faded on touchlines and behind the goal is where the markings would normally reach.

Boring game though, is it because NZL are bad? Like when the mens play San Marino for example its normally a crap game.

No different from a men's game before a World Cup - no-one wants to get injured.

England's final ball is lacking, but I've heard that said in numerous Albion games too. It's obviously slower than mens football, but I'm enjoying it
