Women's World Cup 2019

[Badgers]

Erik the Red, Jens Stoltenberg, Roald Amundsen, Thor Heyerdahl, Max Manus, Henrik Ibsen, Jo Nesbø, vi har slått dem alle sammen, vi har slått dem alle sammen!

Morten Harket, can you hear me? Morten Harket? Your girls took a hell of a beating! Your girls took a hell of a beating!

 

[Argonia]

Never in doubt

 

[Steel Icarus]

How long you had that ready? Badgers

 

[mx wcfc]

That was easier than I thought it would be in the end. Really well played England.

 

[hash tag]

Great game, great result.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Best performance of our WC so far

 

[Argonia]

The camera went on Beckham nine fucking times

 

[Badgers]

How long you had that ready? Badgers

Since the day I first met TruXta

 

[Badgers]

Best performance of our WC so far

By a cunty mile

 

[Steel Icarus]

That's the first time England have made three successive semis. (Previous best WC 66/Euro 68).

 

[hash tag]

England ladies have a semi

Is it me, or is Phil Neville actually an alright geezer?

I have a (perfectly rational) hatred of all things Man U, but he communicates well on telly, and is clearly managing this team to success. Top bloke, from what I've seen in this tournament - his comments after the Cameroon game were spot on as well.

Obviously more like his twin sister than his older brother

Tenth Beckham, Jesus

 

[BCBlues]

Great stuff. Enough players in there who had a good game which shows in the final score.
France or USA next will be equally worried about playing the Lionesses as we are as playing tournament hosts or current champions.

I think he's ok, despite the Edwardian Urchin haircut.

 

[mx wcfc]

As well as having an irrational hatred of "all things Man U" I am occasionally guilty of prejudice against the USA. Having seen reports like this though, if we don't win, I want Megan Rapinoe to lift the trophy and stick it right up trump's jacksie.

It is a bit of a mistake, but we've all been there.

I think that's totally right. However, how exactly has this team gone over 6 hours without conceding? You've got to fancy scoring against them, and you've also got to fear them scoring.

It's cos we have Steph Houghton, and if you get past her we also have Karen Bardsley

 

[Lord Camomile]

Or the other way round, should the occasion call for it.

 

[Lord Camomile]

But yeah, particularly if we get the USA I think it's going to be a case of just hoping we score more than them.

I mean, I know that's what football is anyway, but you know what I mean

My only criticism of tonight's performance is of the careless passes in their own half. Could, and probably should, have cost them, would have without the aforementioned Houghton. But a more clinical side will surely do better.

Cut that out, and you've got tons of creativity going forward.

Norway had enough breaks to get at least one. I just hope England can recognise this bit of luck they're getting at the moment and work on it. Having said that I agree with above statements that Steph Houghton more than makes up for a few weak spots.

.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Aye, we almost don't feel like quite a completed product. For every nice piece of build up or keeping the ball, there's a stray pass that should see us punished more than we have been.

 

[hash tag]

Just saying

Steph Houghton has done a pretty good job up to know, plenty of experience, at 31 I'm sure she has a year or two left in her yet, so why change now?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Just saying

Yes, very well played.

 

[mx wcfc]

I've just realised. I have a work trip to Leeds on Tuesday. I'm going to be on a train when we play the semi final The wifi (is there wifi?) better work.

Aye, we do have wifi, even in Yorkshire.
