Women's World Cup

[Colesman Ballz]

You need a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) to extend your licencing hours abnormally. Usually you have to give 10 clear working days notice but there is something called a late TEN which is 5 days. Either way it is alas too late for the weekend - unless they have already done it.

On the pitch, I think it is the best we have played and largely dominated. Need to score next - don't fancy our chances in extra time

Thanks RP, sad to think that we could qualify for a World Cup Final, and red tape gets in the way of celebrating in style ! Will just have to stock up the fridge and wait for the Populace to revolt.

Oh dear !

That is harsh. Gave the ball away cheaply twice just before it but still - didn't deserve that. Thought we bossed the 2nd half.

Shame

What a horrible way to lose. Poor Laura Bassett.

I feel so desperately sorry for Laura Bassett. I thought England would win that in extra time; they certainly bossed large chunks of the game.

Coalman Balls: I'm a goalkeeping analyst, I dont get involved with penalties as a rule, even for occasions like yesterdays when neither was a penalty. Seems our girls are picking up bad habits from the men, with their 'feel a touch and they go down' mentality.

Unlucky ladies you did the country proud(clap)Pity are men can't show as much ball-ocks as you did.

A very cruel way to go out. That said, and this may be a by-product of watching the men's team, there was always a feeling at the back of my mind that something was going to go wrong despite having played so well. It was just a shame that it happened with no time to do anything about it.

That's football, no one would have cared if it was a side they had a grudge against losing like that or if England had gone through in a similar manner. Glad it was on at stupid o'clock or I may have got sucked into watching it as well. well done to the girls in any case for getting that far.

We'll have to keep an eye on number 19 for Germany, I know I will be
