I'm not worried personally but it just seems a bit disrespectful (in this woke day an d age) It'seems like calling the Lionesses the Dorises or the Karens . Just my thoughts . Can’t agree, as Waltzing Matilda is a sort of informal national anthem. Mind you, why aren’t they the Sheilas? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I heard in the commentary that this was trialled at the men's U20 World Cup first before FIFA approved it for all their tournaments going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 How can you get booked for a foul that isn’t given as a foul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 I think giving that as a free kick and so not a Pen is harsh. Would never have been given as a foul if it was the other way round, also means the studding from the knee down is just a Yellow. Interesting decision.

pillred Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) I shudder to think what the England-Haiti score could be It could be some record score for a women's world cup game. Though having watched 25 minutes Haiti don't look like a bad side at all. Edited July 22, 2023 by pillred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 There is going to be about 4 years worth of added time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically the ball is dead I suppose for the previous foul, but still dangerous play. I mean you can not head butt somebody after the whistle has gone either.

Easy, the same way a player can be booked for a push/punch/dangerous play/etc when the game isn’t in play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as they are ranked 55th in the world and England are European champions most people would have expected us to win handsomely so it's not rubbish.

Bedred31 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Rather enjoying this- good start to a weekend. But, having watched footy for about 50 years, and having just had about the 50th reference to ‘transition ‘ can anyone explain what ‘transition’ actually is/means?

redkev Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Not impressed with England at all so far , don’t look half the side they were at the euros still early yet I suppose but need to get some more control in the game please commentators stop going on about TRANSITION ffs , you either give the ball away or you win it back ( old school sorry ) Edited July 22, 2023 by redkev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Quite ill-disciplined from England first half, but like they all wanted to get forward and score. That’s not how they usually play. Became too easy to transition on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like that game against Australia , plus like the Mens team they look suspect when they lose possession . Could do with a spell of simple ball to feet and not over commit . Just as well Earps is concentrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
