denshaw 2,871 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Good luck to the England ladies team tonight, if they beat Japan they will be in the World Cup final. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 There's a few posts regarding England's Women footballers on the 'Advice On Girls' thread. Here's my post from there. I've watched all the England games and will be watching the Women's Word Cup semi-final against the holders, Japan. It's on BBC1 tonight at 2310. If England win tonight, and they'll have to be at their best to do so, they'll play the USA in the final. I'm looking forward to watching England v USA in the final. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJBrenton 738 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Kick off is at midnight. There are 3 Notts County ladies representing England, 6 Laura Bassett who is a likely starter in defence having played in every game bar one.14 alex greenwood also started in defence against Colombia and came on as a sub against Mexico23 ellen white played for 61 minutes up front against France and then came on late against Canada Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 48 847 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 When my youngest lad was 10 we went to Amsterdam for a football tournament and there were lots of girls teams there . The quality of football then was brilliant so it as moved on tremendously since then. I am talking about 1986. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 oops. Laura Bassett scored an own goal to put England out of the final. A better run than the guys have had since 1990 though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 A very sad end to their campaign but they deserve royal welcome coming back home. We've not had much to cheer about for the men's team over the past years and I wonder about the difference in money earned and spent on the two squads. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sampson - out! Seriously though, a great effort to reach the semi-final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 04 188 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 The ladies have put the men to shame. There was more commitment and passion over their last few games than there was over a full bleady season with the blokes... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 What a sad ending to the game. An own goal from Laura Bassett, the Notts County player, ended Englands chance of playing in the Women's World Cup final. England hit the woodwork a couple of times and went close a few times but Lady Luck wasn't with them. We should all be proud of our ladies for all their efforts and they certainly had the country behind them. I think you'll see a lot of interest in women's football in the UK and this can only be a good thing.

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 I've just been watching England Women beat Germany 1-0 to claim third place in the World Cup after extra time. It was the first time that they'd beaten Germany and they did it with ...A PENALTY. How sweet is that, beating Germany with a penalty. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Well done, ladies. I noticed that when they scored a goal they did not take their shirts off and run down the pitch twirling the shirts around their head. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tompa 285 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Well done the ladies football team. To be honest I would rather watch the women play football, there is no faking injury and rolling around the pitch as much as there is in the mens game, and no spitting and foul language. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 The irony is, we're obviously delighted to have gotten 3rd place, but if we'd have gotten 2nd place, we'd be heartbroken. Well done The Lionesses. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

parmitage 127 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yes it was a great effort by England Ladies and I was proud of them. When we first started Ladies Football thought it was a real struggle just getting to use pitches - Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,271 Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 I have, when I was 14 on a European tour in 1964. I remember we stayed at a hotel in the Canton of Diekirch and the only station you could get on the lower end of the medium wave band was of course Radio Luxembourg on 308 meters as it overwhelmed any other stations.
