So far, rather boring matchup between the New Zealand and Norway, and a good one featuring Australia v Republic of Ireland.

Well, we f**ked up our first game. Nigeria were all over the place and we couldn't put one away. The Finnish referee was abysmal. The Brazilian ref in the Aussie-Ireland game was excellent.

I don't think you will see much action on this thread PynchonForest.
It's fine the girlies want to play soccer.
But don't expect the chaps to be bothered about it.
It isn't proper football, afterall.

Did yall know that only one of the Filipina squad’s 23 players was born in the Philippines; 18 of 23 were born in America. Thats such an American moment.

Ok even crazier is that Reina Bonta, centerback for the Philippines, was born in Connecticut graduated from Yale and her dad is Rob Bonta who is the Attorney General of California. AND she worked on set for Magnum PI but the kicker is that she got signed by Santos in Brazil??? That is so random.
I also voted for her dad.
She’s also very beautiful it blows my mind.

How old is she then?
Magnum PI was back in the 1980s, Tom Selleck was the main man when I was at school.

Well, it is proper football, but maybe a bit too proper. There is a level of aggression missing---the pace, power aspect is def different. Funny thing, years ago at a referee refresher (due to teh differences between boarded football and regular outdoor we do refreshers every six months between seasons) the instructor asked who reffed men and women differently. I was the only person in the room (out of about 70) who put up my hand. I know a few others wanted to, but were afraid of being politically incorrect. I was politely shut down immediately. Now they openly discuss it. Women are far more civil on the field, though the game isn't as aggressive as it used to be, in general, due to rule changes etc.

I like watching the girls play. It's not football as we know it, but a damn sight better looking.

The f***ing what????
If you’re telling me, that some shitbag studio has done a remake of Magnum PI without Tom Selleck, well, the f***ing gloves are coming off, and I’m going postal.

I think I’m going to be sick.
The original series was a masterpiece of Television. And this will be probably another limp-dick reboot that turns out to be shite.
There is only one Thomas Sullivan Magnum, PI, and he has a fantastic moustache and wears a Detroit Tigers cap.
And - f*** me - Higgins is now a woman.
I’m off to burn Hollywood to the ground.

Well they’ve been going for 5 seasons BUT it’s probably really shit, boring evening TV no one watches anymore.
The strike is already happening so a militant leftist is all they need.

This new guy hasn‘t even got a moustache.
How can he be Magnum without a moustache?

Hollywood should be burnt to teh ground. IN many ways, it is just a propaganda mechanism.

I would be happy to be barricaded in any room with the Philippines team, though I suspect 25% of them would have no interest in men whatsoever.

That's another interesting poser to solve. I rather like trying to work out which male players are gay, it's jolly tricky, whilst sorting out the girls is, in some cases, a bit easier because they admit their direction of travel.

What is the world coming to? They'll be doing a remake of Miami Vice next... there is only one Crockett and Tubbs!
If that ever happens, it would tip me right over the edge!

I don't know how you chaps manage to see all the football you do and this TV as well.
I haven't seen any of these programmes. Can't think what I was doing instead.

It'll be interesting if England women lose to see if they get the same vitriol back lash that the men get???

Unfortunately I feel they are going to flop with crucial injuries.It'll be interesting if England women lose to see if they get the same vitriol back lash that the men get???
Beth Mead, Leah Williamson and Fran Kirby all played a huge part in England's Euro success. All are out.
If England manage to make the semi-finals, they'll have done well.

The standard of women's football has definitely gone up considerably. They used to look as if they were running through treacle then fall over the ball when they got there, but now it's much better, both skill and tactics. Just look at Haiti, first time effort, but they worried the European champions at times and kept them out without too many problems, even accepting England's injury worries.
