dat ball control from japan is just sublime sometimes

 

[Briarios]

They need UEFA's extra two assistant refs at the goals ... it doesn't fix everything, but it's better.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Oh cool, Yoshimitsu's playing.

 

[tomtom94]

But FIFA is the governing body of both men and women's football isn't it? Couldn't they put referees from either gender into officiating positions in a world cup? Or is that up to some referees union?



Ah ok - thanks for clearing it up.

The referees were chosen by someone called Jim Boyce, I assume he only picks those who apply.

I dare say those accusing Steph Houghton of diving have never played the game. When someone treads on your ankle as you're turning there's no way you're staying upright.

Was it a penalty? No. Doesn't mean it was a dive though. It's not always one or the other.

BBC complaining about the price of wetwipes in Canada?

Haha, I wish they were cheaper here, I use them a lot. We have "hand sanitizers" here, which is a terrible idea, basically big plastic lotion jugs that you squirt the gel sanitizer out and rub it all over your hand, they are gross and no substitute for wet wipes.

She was begging for a whistle before she even hit the ground.

I'm going to safely call that Germany will win 3rd based on what I'm seeing in this game.

 

[Moobabe]

That Taylor has a great attitude. Cheering as she runs off, jeeing up the players - love seeing that.

Well if it's England playing them, we'll lose on penalties. It's the English way!

[GRW810]

She was begging for a whistle before she even hit the ground.

Probably from that foot on her ankle.

 

[Cerberus]

[tomtom94]

I'm liking White thus far.

 

[DECK'ARD]

England giving me hope, a strange feeling

 

[Moobabe]

Another good effort! Come on ladies!!!

England giving me hope, a strange feeling

Don't worry - the Euros will bring us crashing down.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Second England goal is coming.

[tomtom94]

I fear England are about to regret those missed chances.

 

[Moobabe]

I fear England are about to regret those missed chances.

Spoken like a true England fan!

 

[tomtom94]

Spoken like a true England fan!

"With no expectations, can they go all the way?"

 

[Envelope]

japan's first decent attempt this half?

 

[Beefy]

Um that didn't look a foul.

 

[ibyea]

japan's first decent attempt this half?

Basically

 

[tomtom94]

Should have been a goal. Damn that was a fast shot.

 

[Tubie]

This game is wide open.

I really didn't expect England to play so well against Japan.

 

[Moobabe]

japan's first decent attempt this half?

She looks good though - really positive play

 

[ibyea]

And there goes Japan's second attempt! And it was the substitute!

 

[Envelope]

Yeah seems like it was a smart change for Japan O:

 

[Grover Cleveland]

England falling apart literally

 

[JustenP88]

Iwabuchi (?) looking like Messi out there. You need a goal, England.

 

[Line_HTX]

Is it wrong that I feel that this semis match is like an episode of Kiniro Mosaic?

Let's go Japan and the war drums! US is waiting on that 2011 runback!
