There's time afforded to attackers on the ball that would be unacceptable in any Football League games, so many mistakes in positioning and tactics. It's not a dismissal of the sport, just an observation that despite the incredible strides women's football has come through in recent years there's still a huge difference in technical ability. Makes me want to go out and play nowwwwwwwwww why is it so late and why do I not have enough friends to set up a game booo

Why are they talking about quinoa lmao also this commentator sounds too similar to Craig Charles, it's putting me off

The reason he sounds similar to Craig Charles is that the commentator was the commentator for robot wars

Also, this is the first time that England have got through to a world cup semi final in our life times! (Except all you 25+)

AWFUL keeping from England just there for the return goal as I was writing this

literally patted it back into the striker's path. It's good that there's so much coverage of this as it's obviously a big event and all but realistically the skill level is akin to men's Conference teams

FlyingJesus is wrong actually - it's thought that if you want to compare Women's football against Men's, then the top women's team could just about play on a level of the top U15 boys. So much lower than conference level I think.

I read somewhere that the USA Women's team actually train against U15 boys.
