Too busy blowing grouse out of the sky. Sunak and all other politicians unavailable ans they are all in the middle of their 11 month holidays. Dosser Doris might be interested though to relieve the boredom of her tax payer funded 18 month break. All expenses paid with her own 150 seater flag emblazoned plane for her offspring/relatives. Offer her a place in the House of Lords and she’ll jump at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth a mention, Portugal's Tatiana Pinto was also on CIty's books in 2015-16, making seven appearances and scoring a goal. Now at Levante. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure if it was The Mens World cup either the President of the FA and or the PM would attend.

Had taken my daughter's team to a tournament at SGS in the afternoon and we watched City v Watford afterwards. She came on with half an hour left and within about 3 minutes the crowd were buzzing. She just got it and skinned 2 or 3 defenders every time she had it. Was blindingly obvious she was destined for great things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 A few of us here in Shanghai are contemplating it…. It’s not as far as traveling from the UK but would still be the craziest, most spontaneous thing I’ve ever done. A once in a lifetime opportunity to watch a World Cup final. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Got asked last night why have the Men's team not even made a World Cup final since 1966. Yet the Women have. I don't think neutrals understand how hard it is to win a World Cup in the Men's game. I think these kind of comments are doing the Women's game a disservice by comparing it to Men. Their achievement is their own achievement and in no way a fair and direct comparison can be made to what the Men have done/do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the allegations against him, and the fact that 15 players collectively said last year they refused to play for him again unless changes were made (some did begrudgingly return), he probably won't go unless he quits. There's plenty of online articles which explain that issue further, but for now I'll post a link to this one written by someone I know https://since-71.com/unwanted-redemption-why-spain-winning-the-world-cup-would-be-dissappointing-for-womens-football/ Edited August 17, 2023 by shahanshahan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
