MachoFantastico Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Watching a lot of the games since England's 8-0 performance, the gulf in quality is really noticeable. England looked on another level compared to some of the other teams on show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichfield Dean Posted July 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) VAR shambles here. Simple offside check taking minutes on end. Edited July 13, 2022 by Lichfield Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I thought the Netherlands were pretty good against Portugal, their failure to defend a corner properly notwithstanding. They didn't seem to miss Miedema too badly and their winner was an absolute cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Sweden were absolutely dreadful considering they were playing against a Swiss side where half the squad had been out with a stomach virus the previous days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted July 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2022 On 11/07/2022 at 23:55, HanoiVillan said: Eh? It is extremely, visibly clear that the England women's team is massively more white, right now, than the men's team. It does seem to have become more white in recent times. Nobody is saying there needs to be a quota, people are wondering out loud why the women's team looks very obviously different from the men's team at this point in time. interesting that during a recent broadcast it was actually picked by a BBC reporter and naturally the gammon have lost their shit on social media. alex scott is having to get involved too of course anyone with more than 2 brain cells knows that no one is calling for a quota. they are just simply asking the question as to why so few non white females are playing at the top level and whether there's a reason for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Was a disgrace to give that as a penalty inthe first place. When are we going to get referees to have the **** balls to tell VAR their decisions stands. Let's just get VAR gone. It's the feeling of getting robbed, getting away with one, the inconsistency that actually is want makes it what it is. This mechanical perfectionism has ripped the soul out of the game. Human error, the wrong decision and such made football exciting. Going home on a Saturday and bemoaning being robbed or saying you were lucky but you'll take it. That's all been stripped due to VAR Get rid let's get back the hurt and pain for the younger generation we felt and those before us. That is football.
