The semis and finals were all sold out. Remember ticket sales were great said FIFA with only 13k at Lionesses v Jockesses.

VAR.

Easy pen. If the Yanks score, click off.

I guess that’s what VAR is for. Clear pen and she tucks it away with ease.
We missed 3 in a row

If it weren't high-pitched people would be accusing them of being butch lesbians.

They can't really win can they?

Anyway, I'm all for women's football.

Agree with you Del. It was something to watch in the close season.

BBC are creaming themselves on full feminazi praise for Rapinoe . Equal Pay ...Equal Pay....Infantini .
When the girls put the same amount of bums on seats in the stadiums, then they will have a case. That includes the clubs.

I wouldn't mind bumming her seat

They should get Radio 4’s Jane Garvey to fight their corner. She has enough of a track record in whining about getting equal pay for doing a job with significantly less interest, profile, revenue generation or entertainment than the men’s format.
