FA to consider Wiegman as Southgate successor

The FA will consider Lionesses coach Sarina Wiegman as a candidate to take charge of the senior men's team if, or when, Gareth Southgate moves on from his role as manager, FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said.

I recall, a long while ago, early 70's possibly even late '60's, women's football seemed to suddenly raise its profile. I remember that Rye had a women's team that were quite successful and they had a star player (name unknown) who scored a lot of goals. I actually watched them play a match on the Salts but remember little more.

It would be nice to think that there are players from that era and maybe that game who are around still to see how far they have come.

My two stoner Aussie mates just realised they've been cheering on the wrong side for the past 20 minutes

The way the game is played today, deffo a pen.

Shouldn't be, as it doesn't change the way the ball was going to go, but not surprised it's a pen.

 

[Grizz]

Both teams are playing some really good passing football. Enjoyable watch.

Great 2nd goal by Sweden

 

[Grizz]

I think they're deservedly two up. For all the Aussies effort they really have nothing upfront if you snuff out the opportunities for Kerr. Sweden have played this tactically very well and Australia have been a bit naive.

The only thing about the goal was that Arnold was a wee bit static. Thought the strike was right in the side of the post, but actually it looked quite saveable from behind.

I read that and thought about when Woodward went from the England rugby set up to Southampton, not exactly a successful crossover…… then I remember she’s not Southgate so I’m in. Anyone but the rail toothed Palace wanker.[/url]

Aussies keep wasting free kicks

*edit* tho I guess it must be difficult against a Flat Pack four

Bouncing this to keep the thread going and avoid the need for a new one.

Good luck to the Lionesses!
You've already made history, reaching the World Cup final, and hopefully you can win it all.
England is behind you!

If I could have been bothered I'd have started a poll: win this & Brighton lose their next match, or vice versa. I'd have chosen win this.

This co commentator doesn't seem to know what is and isn't a foul!!

 

[Triggaaar]

Bronze ****ed it

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Looked a bit cheap that chasing after the bucks. Disappointing.

 

[drew]

Bronze ****ed it

She had to hold the ball longer because the player to her left didn't make the run into space!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Decent finish, thought the 'keeper could have done better though.

 

[HangletonGull]

Bronze had a nightmare there
