Women's World Cup 2023

Hoping for much better commentary on Wednesday.

ITV's IT skills/budget leave a bit to be desired. But I thought the commentary was good today. Emma Hayes is THE BEST.

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.

You have an uncanny talent for being wrong all of the time. It's kind of impressive.

That is completely and utterly incorrect

I don't care what they (and I) say about you you take these things well and with a smile. Kudos for that.

Nah, he's great. He did used to be a daft fan when his lad was playing for England, but he's got the right balance now.

Shaun is actually his adopted son too, he got together with his Mum and then they had Bradley together.

I think it really shows the measure of a person when they quite clearly treat a child like they are their own.

Roll up roll up.

 

[inva]

Exciting stuff huh!

 

[savoloysam]

Yup. Lots of fluster not alot of quality.

I think of JP and Sue Smith as being the BBCs A team for women's games. But he was commenting on a QF last week and then on one of the games on MoTD the other day so I presume they're just watching the TV feeds and not at the match.

 

[savoloysam]

Fuck me this is shit. Bring on the penalties already just for some excitement

 

[skyscraper101]

GOAAAAAAAL!

They had it coming tbf.

 

[two sheds]

She did look the only really exciting player on the pitch.

 

[savoloysam]

I jinxed it.

 

[skyscraper101]

VAR checking is really taking the buzz out of at least half of the goals scored these days.

For me it's because you don't get to hear the discussion or see what's happening. Rugby you're still interested to see exactly what went on.

 

[savoloysam]

Huzzah

 

[two sheds]

Haha back to stalemate.

 

[skyscraper101]

OMG! 2-1

What a goal

 

[Lord Camomile]

What in the absolute fuck??!?

 

[savoloysam]

Jebus!

 

[Lord Camomile]

GOAAAAAAAL!

Haha back to stalemate.

OMG! 2-1

What a goal

A wild 8 minutes...

 

[skyscraper101]

Throw everything at it Sweden

 

[Steel Icarus]

I jinxed it.

Didn't you ever!

How come you've got a feed 15 seconds in advance of mine?Signal taking longer to get to Cornwall

It's a bit weird they've flown their studio team out to Sydney but the matchday commentators are watching the same shit as us from the UK. Surely Jonas and Alex could be sitting in London if they're worried about spending.

Watching old-school, on the TV, not a feed

I can totally see why you'd say this, but JP has been increasingly getting on my nerves for years now, so I always find it quite frustrating he continues to be so prominent.

He's put the time in over the years, can't argue with that. It's just for a lot of that time he's also been pretty irritating

 

[savoloysam]

I would say based on that performance they won't win the final but tbh no team has really consistently stood out in this cup.
