Women's World Cup 2023

[Steel Icarus]

Shit interpretation of the rules

 

[skyscraper101]

Booooo

 

[littlebabyjesus]

It came off the defender therefore not off-side. She was walking back not trying to get involved. Shit decision.

Yeah, the ref was left having to mumble something as her 'explanation '.

 

[two sheds]

Bloody good half of football

How casual was James hitting the goal and the non-goal. Temptation would have been to try to blast it but placed it perfectly.

 

[chainsawjob]

Phew, got all my camping gear out of the roof space during half time

 

[chainsawjob]

A yellow for that

 

[belboid]

Fucking obvious penalty, stop complaining, tho Earps should have got the yellow as it was her fault for pushing Bronze.

 

[chainsawjob]

Argghh

 

[Petcha]

That was as clear cut a penalty as you'll see. This commentator 'what's she supposed to with her arms?' Um, dont stick em out on the goal line?

 

[belboid]

Well, shouldn’t be much argument about that one.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Chalk that off. Brilliant controlled finish

 

[Steel Icarus]

Lol

 

[Steel Icarus]

Referee has had a mare today, poor performance

 

[chainsawjob]

 

[Steel Icarus]

Have it! What a finish from Daly

 

[Steel Icarus]

Oh ffs, get off with this VAR shit constantly

 

[inva]

I've been flicking over to the Haiti Denmark match a bit, I think Denmark have had 3 goals ruled out and Haiti have still not conceded from open play!

 

[chainsawjob]

My sis-in-law and nieces are in the crowd for this. They're following England round Australia.

The quality of the commentary today has been fucking dire.

'I dont understand VAR. What part of the arm has to be offside?', er.... any part?

'You might think China's close to Australia, but its not. These fans have travelled a long way'... er, theres a fucking HUGE Chinese population in Australia

 

[chainsawjob]

A colleague has gone for six weeks!

Yeah, they have too!

 

[belboid]

mrsb knows (used to work with) the woman hired to head up their security detail!

You can’t be offside with a part of the body not allowed to play the ball.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

My word England were good today. Lauren James was all over the pitch. Got to be a team to fear now.

 

[JimW]

Probably best not leave the house for a day or two.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

First time China have ever failed at the group stage. This was no ordinary thrashing.

 

[sojourner]

Aye, mojo well and truly back!

 

[belboid]

Unlike ITVX, which is still a pile of absolute shite.

 

[planetgeli]

Football bit - well done England, really pleased for them.

Non-football bit

'You might think China's close to Australia, but its not.

Coming home yesterday, holiday stories gone wrong on R4. This woman rings up and starts by saying "I went to Australia. I thought it was near the antarctic so took all my big warm clothes"

How can you be that thick? Anyway, she redeemed herself a bit by then saying she slept naked because it was so hot, got up in the middle of the night for a piss but sleepwalked her way to a fire escape corridor where she woke up pissing in a stairwell. Then found herself trapped, the only door she could exit led on to the street. So that's what she did.

Back to the football...
