Today's Games 2022-23.

[Jack Russell]

Portugal came back to draw 2-2 with Switzerland and in the evening match Sweden are leading the Netherlands 1-0 at half time.

 

[Jack Russell]

Belgium 1 Iceland 1 after 70 minutes. quite an even game.

Quite good fun following the football and the cricket at the same time!

 

[JadeWolf]

Netherlands Sweden was a good game last night, two of the best teams I’ve seen so far. France v Italy tonight.

I struggled to really watch last night - AHs two doors away having a party ...

Netherlands v Sweden was indeed a good game. I hope that France v Italy lives up to expectations. We could be about to see the very best of women's football!

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Mrs Wednesbury for some bizarre reason watched a bit of women's football and commented "why is it 100% women commentators as when it's men they always manage to shoehorn some bloody woman in "

Can't believe she's not up to date on the current agenda.

Why is it bizarre?

the female pundits in the mens game are far better prepared than any of the blokes would be on the women’s game.

You don’t know that

It is bizarre for her to watch any football but to watch a women's game is even more surprising, she didn't last long with it though apparently.
If you're saying in your opinion the women commentators are all brilliant that's fair enough, I wouldn't know as I don't know any.

France v Italy a good watch. France dominant at the moment… Italy looking very definition of a team looking to the half time whistle

They’re on the ropes. Only 20 minutes gone!

 

[moseleyite]

Indeed. I think they might have a goal in them but keeping them out is a real problem against a really good French side. The French number 11 Diani is unplayable at times.

Funnily enough every one of the women's Euro games l've watched has had a mixed gender commentary team. Where there is an issue is with the HT/FT pundits. Those have been all women whereas women are routinely now pundits for men's matches.

That is an assumption which you provide zero justification for.

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Probably based on how ill-prepared most of them are for the men's games they commentate on

 

[WickedWolfie]

Now that, based on some of the clowns l've seen, l really can't argue with.

 

[WickedWolfie]

4-0 now, two goals in two minutes. This could get embarrassing for Italy.

 

[JadeWolf]

France 4-0 Italy. This could be anything

 

[Jack Russell]

She gave that some serious welly!

Does 5 qualify?!

 

[AndyY]

You don’t know that

I listen to what they say. Ian Wright was on one of the opening games and had no idea.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Does 5 qualify?!

Getting bored of having to type almost non-stop updates lol....

The women pundits are not all “brilliant” but I do genuinely think in the main they are more knowledgeable/prepared than Merson, Carragher, Redknapp, Cole, Richards, Aghbonlanor etc

Given that particular cast list that isn't hard!

 

[AndyY]

Given that particular cast list that isn't hard!

Exactly, that cast list have got the job because of what they are supposed to have achieved playing. Ok, but actually rubbish at this pundit job.
I genuinely think that the likes of Alex Scott are more knowledgeable. And that is not hard.

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

I didn't understand pre-tournament how France and Germany were listed below England in the odds and I still don't, particularly with France.

I know money dictates the price (so perhaps I do know lol) but I thought France were a class above England and it certainly seems the case.

 

[moseleyite]

I was about to post about how Italy had come out more aggressively in the second half… and they promptly pick up a straight red!

Rescinded. Apparently late, waist high tackles are fine. But what do I know?

 

[WickedWolfie]

What the hell is the Italian captain whinging about? That was a bloody horrible challenge and l can't see a clear and obvious error in giving a red card

 

[WickedWolfie]

Changing that to a yellow is wrong to me. Lucky, lucky girl.

Think that you and l are in definite agreement - l might even say violent lol....

 

[WickedWolfie]

Italy winning second half, lol.....

Seriously it was done and dusted after about 35mins.

 

[Jack Russell]

Half time - Austria 1 Northern Ireland 0.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Half time - Austria 1 Northern Ireland 0.

Could have been more. NI plucky but really not good enough.

 

[Jack Russell]

Full time - Austria 2 Northern Ireland 0.

Not the most gripping match!

Austria reminded me of us. Did what they had to do and nothing more.

Let's hope we see more positive action from England tonight

I am also looking forward to seeing Iceland again. A wonderful study of the gluteus muscles!

 

[JadeWolf]

Looking forward to England v Norway at 8. Think England stuttered a little in game one (first night nerves perhaps) so they need to kick on and be better.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Ellen White channeling her inner Horseface or Greasy.... Soft penalty to put it politely

Miss Bod do you lol....
