woot british girlies have beaten brazil

 

[Raven]

They could probably beat the GB men too.

Watched the GB vs Brazil game and it's incredible how much more positive and composed they were compared to our abysmal men's team. Great to see 70,000+ people at the game and a deserved win. Will definitely make more of an effort to follow women's football in the future after that tbh.

I was just about to post something similar, the women put the mens gb and England teams to shame.

 

[megadave]

They do look much better with the ball at their feet than the men, or atleast relative to their overall ability. There are still some LOL moments

I watch Arsenal ladies on our website fairly often. I think most of the girls from tonight were Arsenal players at one point. And they put on some good matches.

Spurs v Red Bulls (NY) on ESPN at midnight.

It looks like AVB is dyslexic and thinks Spurs is actually Spain, at least it seems so from this starting line-up: Gomes; Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto; Huddlestone, Livermore; Bentley, Sigurdsson, Lennon; Bale

 

[megadave]

What striking options do they actually have?

i thought bale had been crippled for life

 

[Wazzerphuk]

i thought bale had been crippled for life

Surely you're not suggesting that Spurs fans are noisy for no reason?

 

[Aoami]

i just thought that with all the fuss that had been made that bale must be in a coma at least

 

[Wazzerphuk]

You are naive in the ways of the average Tottenham fan it seems. You're lucky.

 

[Aoami]

classic

 

[megadave]

cracks me up every time

 

[megadave]

lol oh dear should wait til after their national anthem to boo saurez

 

[Shagrat]

woop lovely goal

 

[megadave]

Allen's pricetag must have gone way up from this tournament, he's looked tidy throughout.

 

[Aoami]

means liverpool will pay £80mil for him instead of £15m

 

[Jimmy]

Platt's still got it:

Just seen this nice to see he can still show players how it's done. Look on Aguero was great

 

[Shagrat]

these uruguayans are a petulant bunch of fuckers when they are losing arent they

 

[soze]

Good game and good result

 

[Shagrat]

well i think other than a period from about 60-70ish minutes where we let Uruguay into the game a bit I thought that was a decent controlled game of football.

Only thing missing was the 2nd goal to kill it off.

 

[cHodAX]

Who do we get next?

 

[soze]

Who do we get next?

South Korea, beat them then Brazil (more than likely).

 

[megadave]

How have the Koreans done so far then?

The midfield three today looked great together, no offense to giggs but he doesn't deserve to dislodge any of those 3.

He is a great option to have coming off the bench with the added benefit of being able to play 3-4 positions and the ability to create defence splitting passes but yes, after tonight we need to give those three a run.

 

[Scouse]

Carroll to Tottenham rumours?

 

[eksdee]

VDV did love playing with Crouch, and he would fill a similar role to what Adebayor did for the team so it would make a lot of sense I think. Doesn't really fit with AVB's style of play though I think?

 

[caLLous]

It's a surprise but we need to do something. If the price is right... Although I would like to think we could do a lot better if we ever actually get rid of Modric for what we want for him.

We also have Tom Carroll coming into the first team this season, I hope.
