I hope you sceptics will watch the game and then you will see why I only
watch England women's team these days and don't bother with the
overhyped men's team!

I have not watched any of the recent England games(mens) because like you I got fed up with the hype a long time ago.
I wish the England ladies(? )well in their next game .but I ll stick to my......
Womens football.

You're missing out on some good football!

But typical girlies - a few spots of rain and a bit of a breeze
and games get postponed:

And here's a picture from that great sporting newspaper showing some
of England's fit lasses getting even fitter!

The Aussie Girls are up against Brazil in about an hour (I think)

If they win that they could play England in the semis

No they can't - apart from Aussie girls losing (but only just 2-3),
England lost 0-3 to USA yesterday, though did do well to keep them
out in first half (and the US team are professionals after all - they've
only lost one game in last 50 played, and that only on penalties!).

Semi-finals are: Germany v Norway - Wednesday,
USA v Brazil - Thursday (that one should be a cracker!).
Final next Sunday - 1pm UK time.

Sunday 1pm UK time on BBC2 - promises to be a real cracker!

A refreshing change from past WWC games!
Won't tell you results - just: up yours USA!
About to watch Brazil v USA highlights!

[Aussie Bee]

So it comes down to the best two women teams in the world

An excellent competition - no diving, crap or bullshit

Brazil V Germany

go Germany!

All in all a refreshing change from all the shit that normally us fans have to put up with and some of the play has been outstanding

If only! Unfortunately Brazilian women are descending to men's level - making
a meal of it if they get fouled.

Also didn't quite understand how US player Boxx got pushed over by
Brazilian on Thursday and got second yellow card and thereby sent off herself! Brazilian (think it was Christiana) raised arm in celebration!

Unfortunately some of the female refs are just as bad as male ones!

However - all in all great football, glad Germany won yesterday. A cracker of a game! Good refereeing from Aussie Tammy as well!
