I’m watching the match, but I’m nowhere near as invested in the outcome.
Still, had it not been for the Matildas campaign, I don’t know that I’d have even been watching it live. I’d have been satisfied with the highlight reel.
Geez, the Spanish scorer, Carmona’s dad died the day before. The family decided to only tell her after the match.
Life is so shit sometimes…
Wonder if England will get more physical in the second half
I love how prepared for that the Spanish players were. They saw how physical the English players were in earlier games.
When an English player was coming in, they’d be braced for the inevitable bump. The audacity of the English players who would bounce off a Spanish player they were trying to shove, then attempt to milk a foul made me laugh more than once.
1-0. Well done Spain!
What do you reckon? Penalty?
It’s a penalty!
Keeper saves then tells everyone to fuck off 😂
Haha yeah the lip reading was quite clear
Brave for Greenwood to keep playing, love to see it.
Ha! Pitch invasion. Only the camera looks away, security deals with it. Commentators ignore it.
I hate all the time wasting, but gg Spain
England’s time wasting against Australia was annoying, but this was excessive.
Time wasting is the thing I hate most about football. And it’s getting worse.
For Christ’s sake, you don’t need extra time. Just use a stopwatch. Stoppage in play? Time off. Ball out of play? Time off. Doing that removes most advantages to time wasting. And there is no random calculation required for how much extra time is awarded.
There’s a bunch of studies that show the ball is in play on average about 55 minutes a game. And that is declining. So make it 30 minutes a half, and manage time properly like every other sport does.
The creeping up the sidelines for throw-ins pisses me off too. Advancing 5m or 10m seems to be no problem at all. Maybe the linesperson should spray some foam on the ground where the ball went out. And if you go past there, the other team gets the throw-in.
Penalty for mine…
¡Vuelve a casa!
Spain playing well. England will need a bit of luck to pull out a win…
Vamos La Rojas!
Spain creating lots of opportunities, hope they can keep it up!
Anyone know what was written on Carmona’s undershirt?
I thought it was an Adidas symbol…
Yeah there was that, and she also had written something in black marker as well. Guess we’ll hear about it after the game!
Did she get a card for doing that?
I don’t think so
Thank you!
