Stive Pesley Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 It works better with the sound off - the stadiums ae so lifeless it just accentuates the lower quality of the football being played. Once I pressed the mute button and put some music on, I enjoyed it much more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 50K crowd expected in Vancouver for England vs Canada Sat Night / Sunday Morning. Should be some atmosphere then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so condescending. Really basic things like an uncontested catch by the keeper are lauded. It's pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cant help but cringe at stuff like this. They want to be taken as seriously as the Men yet act like 16 year old school boys that have just won a game. And that stupid hand shake one did yesterday after scoring made me throw up in my mouth.

Bris Vegas Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Some of the passages of play are really good, but arguably because the defences across the board are so flat slow it's easy to play those diagonal balls in behind.Some of the goals have been good though. Seen some cracking top corner strikes that wouldn't look out of place in professional men's football.But the atmosphere I agree doesn't do it justice. It would be better if the stadium was silent. Those high-pitched screams when one team gets near the opposition's penalty area is cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Still think the goals are too big for the keepers. They're bad enough as it is but most can't cover huge parts of the goal to make what 6ft 4/5" man would call a routine save. Germany the best team I've seen so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully will get stronger in next game vs. China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Who are the dominant teams in women's football? I assume not Brazil and Spain etcBrazil is ranked in top 10, but have lost a step in last few years. Dominant teams right now would be Germany, France, USA, and Japan in regards to their performances over past few years.Germany is best team, and the way US has played this WC, not sure they have what it takes to win it tbh, but we shall see; play China Friday.It is interesting also to see how good a nation's women's team is versus their men's team. For instance, Japan and Canada women are both ranked in top 10 in world, whereas their men's teams are outside the top 50 in rankings. Women also seem to play way more International friendlies than the men's team does; that is easily the case with the USA at least. Alex Morgan has 88 caps already and is only 25 years old. I dare say she will have 200+ before she retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
