Just watched the highlights of the SA v Arg match
Looked like the game of the tournament to date
Great weather for a daylight match
Great crowd and atmosphere
Cracking goals
Great dramaSA will be kicking themselves for not securing their first WC win
-
Great start from England
Cracking strike from James
Eng 1 -0 Den
6 mins -
Denmark right back in to this
Could easily be 1-1
-
I realise this comes across poorly in this day and age, but some of these players are fit as fuck.
-
That's the half
England go in 1 up
Could easily be 1-1 or 3-0
-
Denmark deserved that to go in
England hanging on
-
England ground that one out
Good tournament performance
Need to find some spark if they want to contest for the prize
England 1 - 0 Denmark
-
What a bullshit call against Haiti
Thought I was watching AFL
-
VAR
Very arbitrary reffingHaiti shafted 3 times for penalties
The fix is in

My mate's manager's son plays for the Under 14 Oz team.
Brazilian women's team played them in a warm-up.
The 12/13 year-olds beat them three nil.
Thought it was funny.I was watching the swimming world championships the other day and a guy who came dead last in one of heats had a time that smashed the women's world record. But that didn't stop me enjoying the female races or make their achievements any less impressive because there is a clear distinction between the sexes in these comps. The morons advocating for "equality" or whatever tf are undermining female sports by insinuating there is no distinction. There bloody is, but thats perfectly fine. Just like with weight divisions in combat sports.
Ultimately the buzz around this comp appears to be genuine and that's a good thing.

I disagree that people advocating for equality insinuate there is no distinction. Equal treatment doesn't mean identical treatment, but that's all I'm saying here, because this isn't a politics thread.

Good fun driving down Lambton Quay and seeing an absolute truckload of fans in US gear. Stars and Stripes pants, big flags etc. Great for the hospo industry I’m sure.
Of course the best female athlete will be inferior to her male equivalent. But that certainly doesn’t take away from what they achieve in this and any other given sport. One of my mates who has gotten right on the bandwagon sent me a list of the highest paid players, two of the US players are on 7 mill a year each, good on them, that’s incredible money.
…..and any bloke who decides he wants to wear a dress and compete in said sport can absolutely fuck off. PC be damned.
