benjamin1945 16,118 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Largely lost interest in football,,too much money spent and wasted,,especially on foriegn managers and players, However been watching the womens international matches,,and have got to admire the skill they have,,years ago when you played on all surfaces no matter what the weather,with those heavy balls (no remarks please) and nogs in ya boots,,with a certain amount of hacking your opponents down allowed,we never considered women in playing,,but now with light balls and carpet slippers for boots the ladies are showing the men how its done,,game might get interesting again,, 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,378 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I quite agree Ben. I have never had much interest in football but out of curiosity watched the US v France game. I enjoyed it. No girly stuff, just good football. Accurate passes, no rolling around on the floor for ten minutes and NO spitting which made a nice change. I think the lack of male ego possibly makes for a better team game. I strongly suspect they would crucify any of our local teams. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I've not watched the ladies play. I didn't want to be accused of voyeurism! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Watched some brilliant games. This is from a bloke who can't stand football and know bugger all about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Well no complaints. We were totally out played, and out thought. Our passing was woeful, tackling was slack. However, I still think we did well, and with a bit of luck, could have won it. Never mind, if we'd have won, the in laws were due to visit for the final on Saturday evening. That, I can do without ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
