Daly adds something more upfront, Russo is probably a better footballer by Daly is a better CF.

What a fucking farcical end to the game. Looks like the final whistle went too early, called it back for a drop ball to restart at which point it was past the added time and the ref blew the whistle instantly.

The quality is atrocious, come on.
Everything looks accidental.

It's still football, but let's not pretend it's the pinnacle of international football that the media make it out to be.

I don’t think anyone really claims that but feel free to get upset about it anyway

Not upset, just saying if you listen to the radio they big it up more. Just take it for what it is, don't need to push it more.

So much for the 5'4" Haiti keeper - that tip over was quite brilliant! Probably POTM, but they played really good stuff at times. Not the cake-walk England were expecting.

I mean….it’s kind of their job to push it more, isn’t it?

Great 2 weeks of weirdos moaning it's not as good as men's football just don't watch or comment then, dull as fuck.

I'll get fully invested, I find enjoyment in all forms of football. A skill that came in handy with Cov over the years.

Watched China get robbed by Denmark earlier

As has been said, if you don't like it, don't watch it. I really enjoy women's football and at times the quality is excellent. It's not across the board though, so you can get quite the disparity at times.

The Euro win for England women's team was really thrilling and will live long in the memory.

For me it's not necessarily the quality but how well matched teams are.

Some of the women's games can be dull because it's almost an attack v defence training session but two well-matched teams playing can be more exciting than watching Man C stroll past someone like Bournemouth at a canter.

Though i have to admit some of the goalkeeping does exasperate me - it's just so poor at times.

It's the Netball World Cup in Cape Town starting on Friday, "across the BBC", in case you are interested!
Another tournament being vaunted to the skies by the Beeb because they have "won" the broadcasting rights (presumably by a walkover because no-one else gives a shit). I wonder how much they will be spending on it, how many BBC staff will be flown there on a jolly and what the viewing figures will be.

Damn, how annoying. I can't record it, because besides the world cup, I also have a series link for the European hopscotch championships. Grrr.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the BBC coverage is being done remotely. They only have select coverage, Sky have the main rights and are showing every game live with a team out there to cover it

Also the across the the bbc part makes me think most of the games will be on the website so will just involve a commentator and someone updating the website. Both of which can and will likely be in the UK unless the leach the Sky comms

Sky has a whole channel for Netball during the season, it's actually quite popular as far as sky ratings go.

The NZ keeper made a right mess of that for Philippines to score. Practically threw it across her own line! And the Colombia second goal was a proper howler by the Korean keeper!

I saw highlights in the gym from the new Zealand and Singapore game I think it was. It was shocking.

They struggled to pass it. Random throw ins to nobody

Watching the Argentina vs South Africa game. I can't believe that I am actually watching it to be honest. I genuinely reckon we could put together an SBT XI that wouldn't disgrace ourselves.

Stadium is about 25% full as well.

I'm not surprised, the kick-off was at 1am. Who's going to be up at that stupid o'clock time of night?
