Women's World Cup 2023

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck me, when did we get to 90(+5) mins?? Hadn't realised we were so close to the (possibly) final whistle

 

[two sheds]

The games do seem to go really quickly despite the +10 minute add-ons

 

[savoloysam]

Phew. Totally rode our luck in the last 15 minutes.

What time is the semi-final on Tuesday?

 

[two sheds]

Wehey

Well played both tbh

Just struck me, another rugby rule I'd like to see in football - ball's not out until it hits the ground out of play, you get some good gymnastics with that

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Phew. Totally rode our luck in the last 15 minutes.

Rode luck but Colombia lacked composure in the end. One superb strike saved by a superbly positioned Earps.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Just about deserved. We find a way to win, which is encouraging. What a match in prospect for the semi!

 

[hash tag]

Great result.

 

[Joe Chi Min]

... and Bogata.

They’re always well represented at tournies, the Colombians. I wonder why that is ?

 

[belboid]

Ah ok thanks.

 

[magneze]

Some epic semi finals to come!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, cool, playing the only team to beat England under Wiegman, in their national stadium.

No worries, as they say...

[Lord Camomile]

Just updating the calendar entry



edit:

Oh. Fuck. I've just realised that less than an hour ago I arranged to meet my friend for our birthdays on Wednesday

Fuuuuuuuuuuck!

 

[belboid]

I am in a field in South wales next week. No evidence games will be shown.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I'm back at work Thursday. Worked out nice that

 

[Wilf]

I'd probably have Spain favourites, but, sheesh, any one of four.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Russo, bless her: "Happy to get the three points and get through to the semi"

She was terrific today I thought, as were Hemp and Stanway

 

[Lord Camomile]

Russo, bless her: "Happy to get the three points and get through to the semi"

The three moral points

 

[skyscraper101]

I'll be at work and watch it there. Who's showing it? BBC? or ITV?

I'm assuming BBC, as I think ITV have had the last two England games, but could be wrong.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ah, indeed, both semis, in fact:

 

[Wilf]

Love Wrighty, nearly in tears.

 

[Petcha]

Love Wrighty, nearly in tears.

He's never quite figured out the concept of being an 'impartial' pundit has he. It's always 'we, we, we'. I mean you might as well interview someone in a comedy english wig outside the stadium.

I think being 'impartial' is about how you judge the games/situations, not necessarily whether you show any particular allegiance.

Plus, he's not a dick about it, and he's only one of a number in the broadcast. Plus, I'm pretty sure that most broadcasters at the very least refer to the national team as "we", whether that's England or broadcasters in other countries.

Fair play though strung out , the crowd is going to be doing some serious whistling in the final and that will feel light hearted verging on the funny.

Hoping for much better commentary on Wednesday.
