I watched a bit of the ladies games yesterday, and found it more enjoyable than the men's game. Less physicality (play-acting) and more emphasis and skill and stamina.
I just wonder how long it will be before more money sees higher-stakes and 'professional' play-acting comes in.

The usual suspects already play act the whole time. England's first opponents were rolling around clutching their ankles for large parts of the game.

all the play-acting ? blame the FA & how they coach their referees.

people like Jose Mourinho have made a successful career out of cynical gamesmanship. Didier Drogba was his will on the pitch. Other players, with higher morals ? sacked.

 


Eze Peasy at Anfield....

I would think coaches encourage it if it gives their team an advantage.

There is a cracking game going on between England and Nigeria at the moment. A high intensity high quality clash with little between the two sides.

Foolish red card and into extra time 0-0.

Hold out and go for penalties?

Not a great performance by England, but countered by an excellent execution of the shoot-out.

We were lucky. Some real gutty performances, how Walsh lasted almost 120 minutes I don't know. She looked knackered when she came off.

Next game we should have a big advantage. Then probably France in the semis.

Glad we're in this side of the bracket. The other side is brutal!

I presume James is suspended now - which will not be helpful. She's looked like England's best player.

A very good win against a Columbia team who have won a lot of friends for the way they play.

The Lionesses are certainly resilient.

Semi-final against Australia this Wednesday 11 am.

Quietly confident........

I confess that I watched a bit of the Australia v France match. I thought a few of the French ladies looked quite 'comely'. They may well be lezzers, though, but let's hope not.
