BridportOwl Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Wiegman has just tested positive for Covid. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62181796 Can't see it making a jot of difference for tonight's match against NI. Hopefully she gets a negative test real soon though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmJimmers Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Excellent finish from Kirby. First time bobbling ball and curled it past the keeper. Great effort so far from NI tbf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilnhurstowl Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 England are playing solid. Holding formation. Pressing when necessary, they look like a "propper " football team if that makes sense. Just shows what the underfunded womens game can become and the potential it has. This is coming from someone who used to laugh at the women's game. I stand corrected and apologise for my previous views . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only 10 or so years ago a fair few keepers looked suspect. They look so much more solid now, even keepers from like NI tonight (even though she looks shattered lol).

Admit you made a stupid post and we move on. You’ve taken a tongue in cheek comment as gospel. Embarrassing really. The women’s game still hasn’t got professional status in many established countries throughout Europe. The womens Serie A will go pro for the 22/23 season. So all things said and done, there’s still huge amounts of work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Northern Ireland look tired now, starting to take them apart. Mead is class, another goal and assist tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Anybody saying the women's game lacks quality, look at Russo's goal for the 4th. What a touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Anyone think they can improve the standard (or want to get involved), I’m trying to step away from coaching SWFC ladies under 13s. Great lasses, I only want to leave as my daughter has dropped down to play at her own age group (still SWFC) and I obviously want to watch her.

Saying it’s been professional for 100 minutes was disrespectful, especially given women weren’t able to play professionally through no fault of their own. He also admitted he knew nothing about it. Yes, he clearly was being flippant when he said 100 minutes, but it was still incredibly disrespectful and sneering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) For those with The Athletic, a decent piece on the standard of goalkeeping in the Euros. To me that’s the biggest difference from even a decade ago https://theathletic.com/3420667/2022/07/14/goalkeepers-euro-22-women/?source=user_shared_article Edited July 15, 2022 by Ever the pessimist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major leagues in Europe are still only just turning professional. It wasn’t a flippant point at all. He was right. The women’s game has made incredible steps forward over the last few years. You’re the one doing the game an injustice by trying to pretend it’s somewhere it’s not. Constant comparisons to their male counterparts is counter productive for everyone. What people should be doing is getting behind their country and, enjoying what’s shaping up to be a terrific tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the average fan realises how difficult that touch is to execute. It was perfection. The most telling difference in the level of the game is the technique for me. We have technically gifted players in abundance now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
