Toepoke Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Trying to enjoy this tournament without thinking about our abject failure in qualification but it's extremely difficult. Anyway just watched Spain dismantle Finland after an early fright. They really are a gifted team but Putellas being out is a huge loss. The Germans up next tonight, historically Europe's strongest side... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger intae them Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 couldn’t care less about the tourney, for a variety of reasons…….. and I’m at the game !!!!!!!! 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 Magull puts Germany in front, sounds like she should be playing for us 😆 We could do with a striker with a shot like that mind you 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRobRoy Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Nah, can't watch this for two reasons: 1) Our absence, 2) The BBC's barely-restrained Englandlove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted July 9, 2022 Author Share Posted July 9, 2022 Netherlands v Sweden best game so far, two very good teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're thinking of switching it on, don't. England are currently 7-0 up against Norway and there's still about 25 minutes left. Norway have been outclassed. I thought they were a good side in the women's game too (they're not a bad side in the men's game either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) 8-0 to England. First goal was an incorrectly awarded penalty, Ellen White's dive was embarrassing and she should have been booked. Shocking defending from Norway at times and they just fell to pieces, mentally shot. On the other hand some of the England passing and movement was very good, particularly by Beth Mead.

EddardStark Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Game of the tournament so far on tonight. Germany v Spain. France look impressive as well but England look like they are well up for it. The Norway result is kinda freakish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know it wasn’t particularly PC but maybe Kenny Shiels had a point that women need to react better to conceding as they can be susceptible to conceding in quick succession. The fact it was a blatant dive and VAR did f**k all about it really seemed to knock them off their stride then chuck in 30,000 folk baying for goals and they just crumpled. Enjoyed the tournament up to now but they need to stamp shite out like that dive yesterday, and the commentator calling it ‘clever’, because if I wanted to watch cynical win at all costs football would just stick to watching the blokes.

During the matches do they compare the women's records to the men's records like they do in the print media? For example this week there were articles about Ellen White breaking Wayne Rooneys scoring record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commentator 20 minutes into Germany v Spain women managed to squeeze a reference to 66 in too somehow 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich NATA Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Northern Ireland have been based in Southampton from the start and are staying in the hotel 2 minutes from my door. Ever since the tournament started, I've seen Northern Irish fans (mostly men) stoating about the city in their shirts and flags. They're playing England on Friday and St. Mary's is apparently sold out (32'000). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Spain through to face England with a late goal v Denmark. I know they're missing a couple of key players but they haven't looked that great (says it all about our standing that they've just beaten us 10-0 on aggregate 😕).

scotlad Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Spain fucked it. Ran rings around England for about an hour then an inexplicable tactical switch from their coach allowed the English more space and the inevitable followed. They must be kicking themselves!

Very much like their male counterparts. Ran England off the pitch for a very large part of the game. Really enjoyed the game. Hoping the Germans or the French can deliver the killer blow.
