Apparently not seeing as it took you over a day and a half to do just that

So you’re assuming he was logged onto the forum and in this thread for a day and a half? Really?

I think the standard of outfield play in the women’s World Cup games I’ve seen (admittedly not many working 9-5) has been decent. However, the standard of shooting has been woeful. It’s like Neil Maupay is playing in every CF position for every team.

[Anubis]

I didn’t think that Standard Chattered video was particularly inspiring to be honest. I did laugh at the murderous look that crossed Thiago’s face when the girl was telling him the lads had told her to go and make a sandwich. He looked ready to go all Hand That Rocks The Cradle.

They really went over the top down here. Often by people you know haven’t got a clue. Felt sorry for the Matildas squad as all the hype was around Sam Kerr even when she was out injured.

 

The game I went to was like families at a fairground.

 

It was really enjoyable but it was being treated more like an event/outing than a game.

And nothing wrong with that, of course, I'm just not sure what it was achieving for women's football in a pure, footballing sense.

Instead of trying to declare public holidays down here, for instance, the government could do with seriously investing in the girls (and boys) game and its coaching.

 

But of course, that's hard work and not very PR-able, so it won't happen.

Yeah , being new here I am still evaluating things in terms of politics. I’m afraid the gov might overlook this gift horse , the potential to grow both male and female football is there. BTW couldn’t believe the size of Bosnich.

Really.

Seen a few tweets saying the palace have asked the BBC not to show footage of Queen Letizia of Spain and her daughter at the Cup Final, because the Prince of Pegging won’t be there.

There's no way I'd be bringing that Chelsea dickhead back for the final, star player or not. Let Toone keep her place, she did well against the Aussies and deserves it. 

 

And thus it came to pass...

[Creator Supreme]

It's international football, so men or women I just don't give a monkeys.

 

I'm sure they're dead nice girls, and I'm not doubting anybodies ability as footballers, I just don't do international football.

 

I must admit though, for some reason Rachel Daly does something for me.

Great posts. Although you've missed the vital detail that the Aussie government are investing $200m in women's footie following the success of this tournament. Do keep up.

Pretty much has really but don't let that stop people like you trying to put a dampener on it. 

[Bruce Spanner]

You all seem very confused.

 

Im scouring Edinburgh now for the fitba and it definitely isn’t on today.

People like me? You haven’t got a fuckin clue about me mate. One thing I’ve learned ,where governments are concerned , is many promises made are not honoured. See below courtesy The Sydney Morning Herald.

 

The Albanese government says it will “always look for more ways” to ensure funding for women’s sport is fit for purpose, but has stopped short of promising more money after the Matildas’ extraordinary World Cup run ended.

[Bjornebye]

I hope they win. I prefer them to the men’s team that’s for sure. Hope Harry and Meghan turn up

[magicrat]

I might watch the first 10 minutes to see what the fuss is about but dogs don’t take themselves for a walk 

[Lurtz]

The buildup on the BBC absolutely defines the word "cringe". Fucking skin crawling. 

[John102]

People know the Athletics World Champs are on, yeah?

Like Hemp and that Spanish defender…!!!

ITV commentary immeasurably better than BBC who sound like they're sharing a mic with the Spanish commentator.
