[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

Wolves playing tonight. Anyone planning to watch the game?

...or is it tomorrow night? Sorry. My bad.

 

[TheConcourse]

...or is it tomorrow night? Sorry. My bad.

Yeah, tomorrow. Watching though. Looking forward to seeing what Bruno tries.

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Yeah, tomorrow. Watching though. Looking forward to seeing what Bruno tries.

Me too! Have booked the WolvesTV bundle of four matches today.

Same brother!

Germany v Austria Women's football tonight. On BBC1. KO 2000.

World rankings - Germany 5, Austria 21.

 

[Jack Russell]

Germany lead 1-0.

Magull 25.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

German defence looks all over the shop. Lucky not to concede a few so far.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

These women pundits are so much better than the likes of carragher

You could also make a case for the womens England manager to replace southgate based on the tactics last night

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Austria so unlucky. Hoping they get a deserved goal

 

[Frank Lincoln]

A German player has just missed an open goal that even I could have scored. Well possibly..

Did you see the Dele Ali miss in their 4-0 defeat.... even worse

 

[Rabid Wolf]

That was stupid goal kick.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Austria an object lesson in needing to take your chances when they come....

 

[Jack Russell]

Well, I've seen it all now. What on earth were Austria playing at?

 

[Jack Russell]

I was expecting better from Austria. With time running out, they are still fannying about with no urgency!

 

[Frank Lincoln]

How was that a foul, let alone a yellow card?

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Watching a bit of Man United v Villa. A friendly being played in Perth, Australia. Pitch is absolutely terrible. Reminds me of some of the crappy winter pitches we used to have in the 1970s/80s. Being played in the pouring rain too. I know these clubs who go on long distance tours will earn a bit of money, but they're making their players travel huge distances, playing other Premier League teams, and playing on pretty rubbish pitches. All downsides in my opinion.

I think our cancelled American tour is a blessing in disguise. Our players are bonding and training in a relatively small camp, not travelling too much, enjoying good weather, and focusing on training hard and not foreign media duties and meet and greets and the like. Will be interesting to see how well the teams who have travelled long distances will start the season.

Btw, half time, 2-0 to Man United, and Villa look awful.

 

[1972 i began]

Just sin this result.......TOP Oss 2 TEC 1.....

 

[Rhyl Wolf]

Just to say. The French winger Cascarino is more skilful and mightily sexier than her male counterpart, Tony.

She’s excellent. i wonder If she has an Irish grandparent…

 

[Wonder Boyo]

The French always look like they are going to blow teams away but they've struggled to score in this tournament. Easily the best technical team in the Euros though.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Still absolutely insane how long VAR takes to get to the right decision

 

[WickedWolfie]

VAR working as it should. France getting a wholly deserved penalty which they convert.

Yh but it doesn’t need to take that long ffs. The process is wrong

 

[WickedWolfie]

I get a feeling that as Netherlands have to open up to seek an equaliser France could punish them further.

I would have said, WRT your last sentence, it was a toss up between France and the Spanish team who for a long period looked like they'd knock England out.

I can definitely see that happening. Expecting a second from 115 mins onwards.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

I really like this referee, keeps the game flowing really well. Not influenced at all by the Dutch players rolling around. If it is not a head injury she doesn't stop the game, just as it should be. The amount of times I've seen Premier League referees stop a game for a player rolling around without a head injury, drives me crazy.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Good game. Deserved win for France. The French lost their heads slightly at the end, couldn't clear the ball for toffee. Hung on though. Renard is a beast (in the nicest possible way).

 

[WickedWolfie]

As an English supporter l'd certainly hope for Germany to win the other semi-final. France look a much better team..... Not counting any chickens though....

 

[Dubwolf71]

More than Tony had if she does.

 

[JadeWolf]

Come on the Lionesses!

 

[WickedWolfie]

Come on the Lionesses!

Agreed.

There are some bloody irritations though. I enjoy England's womens team in its own right. I can also see that the women's game has its own traditions (e.g. the count-down to kick offs in tournaments). It needs though to have confidence in its own traditions and not try to appropriate those of the men's game. When l hear it suggested that Ellen White will overtake Shrek as England's all time leading goal scorer or hear crowd attempts to appropriate "football's coming home" l have to say hell no.

Oh, Ian Wright was awful in showing lack of preparation (not knowing the names of players you are commenting on, appalling) in the pre-match discussion.

The comparison between mens and womens football is really unhelpful. There’s real potential for the Lionesses to create their own space in the football world I just hope they realise it.

That's exactly my point. They're a good team in their own right, not merely an echo of the men.

Oh, and how the hell was that not a yellow card?

 

[Wonder Boyo]

This game is being played at a million miles an hour! Also, not sure who is responsible for directing the live coverage, but in all games, when the ball is still in play and something is happening, they often switch to a close up of a player and miss what is happening on the pitch. Its very annoying.

Yup, one thing we learnt from our Portugese players was the value of taking a touch and looking at the options....

Re the close ups even worse when it's the bench or crowd....

 

[Ajfox254]

Goncalo Ramos scored decent header v newcastle

 

[JadeWolf]

Does this referee know you’re allowed to book players?!

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Does this referee know you’re allowed to book players?!

Couldn't believe the ref didn't book the Swedish player for that professional foul earlier on. It was verging on ridiculous. No attempt to play the ball, just a rugby tackle around the chest.

 

[BridgnorthWolf Inc]

Get in!!!
