The Ladies World Cup starting now!

Forums New posts
They'd been poor and naive since half time (kinda like Southend yesterday), but they've been back on top ever since Australia's equaliser and have now edged in front again. Now to stay there.
 
Thankfully I was wrong. England were the better team and deserved it. Exactly what I wasn't expecting.

There'll be a lot of spare tickets for the final now, and I need to cancel the kayaking I had booked for Sunday morning!
 
We'd just invited my sister over for Sunday lunch and she hates football. Oh well, if she wants to get fed she will have to pretend she likes football.
 
Fantastic achievement and just as importantly what a boost for the English ladies football at all levels
Now go and win the WC for the ladies / Gents/ kids that followed you overseas and the pioneers of the ladies football all them years ago x
 
That'll do nicely, Spain haven't impressed me at all so far so we go in as favourites but obviously in a final form goes out of the window.

The big question is whether Lauren James comes back in, she's a great individual player but I honestly think we've played better as a team since her suspension.

This team. What a performance. Lauren Hemp was absolutely unreal, and that goal by Toone was a banger.

The team are great, the squad is even greater. But the real star (for me at least) is Sarina Wiegman. I think she's one of the best coaches in the world, male or female. Just to underline that, this is England's record under her (from Wikipedia so I don't know if it includes today, although it looks like it does given the comment above the stats):

P 38
W 30
D 7
L 1
F 151
A 15

That is incredible. Forget the goals for because England have had some almighty wins, e.g. 20-0, but to have only lost one match, and to have only let in 15 goals is pretty impressive.

Let's hope they can just win the next match. After that I couldn't care less!

Wiegman has made the final in the last four major tournaments that she has coached, including two (soon to be three) wins. Lots of talk over here that the US will try and poach her away from England.

Why would she want to go to a team that can't even make the World Cup quarter finals. Bunch of losers!

Indeed! Most enjoyable sharing my joy at England's triumph with my board of directors this morning, a few of whom are huge 'soccer' fans.

I often found that Americans sense of irony and humour are entirely different to ours. I managed a large procurement back in the day and one of the bidders was the then CSC. Massive company with huge resources but humour wasn't one of them, least ways English humour. I had endless fun tweaking them without them realising what was going on. That said, they were decent folk, but didn't win the bid. I did get to tour NASA though as one of their evidence sites so all was not lost. Off topic, I shall now go and stand in a corner in disgrace.
