Women's World Cup 2023

[Steel Icarus]

The Ten Minute Semi.

Wait, no

 

[Steel Icarus]

Sweden next for England then

 

[Lord Camomile]

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.

Aye, I haven't watched an awful lot of the matches, but certainly doesn't really seem to have been a consistently on-form/dominant team throughout the tournament.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ah, interesting, I had actually thought to myself that Paralluelo looks like Nafi Thiam!

 

[ska invita]

OMG! 2-1

What a goal

yes looked a brilliant goal to me, drilled up from the edge of the box, came in off the cross bar...Pearce "keeper shouldve saved it" fuck off no chance. Biased commentating

 

[two sheds]

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

I want a discount.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Surely the first goal was offside?

 

[Petcha]

So what's the story with the Spanish manager then..? 15 players boycotted this because of him. What's he actually done?

Seems ok in interviews and I can't quite figure out why they all hate him, all very vague in the media.

 

[Petcha]

On another note, I fucking love how open the players in the women's game are about their sexuality. There's loads of openly gay players. Why can't the men's game follow suit, and soon. You can't tell me there's only 1 or 2 gay players in the EPL.

Redondo celebrating with her girlfriend ^^ Can you imagine seeing that from a top mens' player and his partner..? It would be seismic.

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

I don't think you're alone in that but I quite like the way he takes the piss out of/flirts with co-commentators and then carries on with the blizzard of factoids. Robyn Cowen and the oh-so-dull Rachael seem to get the England games these days anyway.

 

[newbie]

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.

Seems I was naive in thinking that the ball by ball commentator needs to be in the stadium. But it strikes me as very odd that what is essentially journalism should be done remotely without any perspective independent of the FIFA camera feeds.

BBC saving funds aye it. I noticed we were treated to the Australian commentary only for the netball final.

Somehow I thought the semi final was tomorrow, luckily something inside of me thought to check if any games were on today.

Looking forward to the women showing us blokes how to do it again (I hope.)

 

[Steel Icarus]

I hope everyone pits in an 8 or 9. Walsh and Toone imo need to do more. But still. I think we have a great chance here. 50/50 game but our biggest test so far, which you'd expect in a semi! Go on lasses!

 

[savoloysam]

Carter, Bright and Greenwood have been solid at the back all tournament. We are going to depend on them today. I think this will be our toughest test yet. I'm hoping but an early goal from us would be nice. I can't see a lot in this game between the two teams. Australia looked solid in their last game but that could and hopefully won't count for anything.

Annoyed the TV just cut off the didgeridoo player

 

[Lord Camomile]

sigh Another England semi-final?

For a second I thought there was a really short match official.

Then I realised it was kid

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fowler and Kerr is def a formidable front line (thought Qs obv remain about Kerr's match fitness).

 

[Lord Camomile]

Honestly think that was clumsy, rather than calculated.

 

[albionism]

anyone know of a working live stream please?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bloody hell, what a save from Mary Earps!

Kerr's touch took her a little wide, but with so much time from Kerr getting the ball to when she could take a shot, that's a lot of time for Earps to second-guess herself or time coming out wrong.

<edit: brilliant saves at both ends! >

 

[Lord Camomile]

anyone know of a working live stream please?

I'm assuming the BBC site doesn't suffice?

Not where I am. I'm actually in Australia, but it keeps dropping out every minute or two

Is it not on telly there?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Bah, they're so petty

 

[albionism]

I don't have telly telly.
