Just finished watching the England/Canada game, and I have to say I was impressed by a number of aspects.
OK the skill and technical abilities were inferior to the Men's game, but the passion and commitment was equal to, and at times better.
What really made the game so enjoyable though was the almost complete lack of cynicism, cheating and diving. surrounding and complaining to the ref at almost any opportunity.
These are the sort of things , so prevalent in the Men's game not just at International level but at league level. I may be old fashioned ( because I am OLD), but I wish we could somehow take all the so called "Professional" elements out. What the hell is a professional foul. and why is it considered as a skill and lauded by commentators and pundits alike, it"s cheating.. Why is it ok to try to get other players sent off, and constantly harrasing and abusing the match officials.
Sorry rant over, |  | | |  |

You must have missed the French woman's embarrassing dive in the earlier match? |  | | |

Yet the Canadians were waving imaginary cards at the ref and one of their central defenders got away with a professional foul that should have been a red ( a yellow given ).
There's still cynicism cheating and diving. | |

The Colombian keeper was stretchered off loads, but always came back on. She was hardly touched each time. |  |

My observations on the game were of the England team whose attitude throughout was properly professional, and not as we know it from our own experience of the Premier league.
You are right, and i agree that the Canada team were more like we see here every week. | | | |

Don't sink low to English standards by dragging up WW affairs during every match. Just look at the YouTube comments Englanders make on videos involving international teams.
Even saying "England" makes me want to wretch. How did that joke of a country come about anyway?, wasn't it annexing Wessex, Mercia and Northumberland together?. Frank Turner ruined what would have been a good album, with all that Jingolistic garbage. [Post edited 28 Jun 2015 22:41]

Impressed (and worried for England) by the skills shown by the Japanese team.
The interview with the England manager was fun. Started with a very neutral accent that became more and more Welsh as he he got more emotional. | |

The Japanese team had more chances created but their final third was quite poor.
Their left winger appeared to hug the line but whenever they passed to her, she put her foot on the ball and passed back inside and back. Never seen her run at the defender once. | |

So the BBC thinks the way to hype a womens World Cup semi is to compare it alongside and on a par with the mens game. Why?
Its completely different. Instead of spending hours yawning on about 1966 and Italia 90, interviews with all the usual suspects, how about they tell the world who the fck the players are. Poor exposure for them so far on a personal levels. If it was the mens game, youd have interviews galore and youd know what they had for tea last night. [Post edited 1 Jul 2015 23:18]

Severe lack of composure, trying the final ball as soon as they get possession. A bit of calm and they have the individuals to win this. | |
