SEE YOU! A brand spanking new modern fitba thread 2023/2024

Interesting. Although I wonder if they actually follow the game or if it's just a fashion thing.

 

It would take a bit of a culture shift.

 

On my life I was walking the dog earlier and there was a big boobied black girl wearing a t shirt with the logo "everyone watches women's sports" . I tried to tut and roll my eyes as we passed but she didn't catch it.

 

Luke Shaw in the zone tonight

 

They follow it. Or so I hear from my kid. Moreso than they so say, baseball, for sure.

 

Population of 350 million......not gonna have to move the needle too much..

 

Yes. Up and Down. Lamal and Williams are not bothering the English FB. Experience trumps Hip Hoppity- so far.

 

Sorry but that ball hit the ref. He should have stopped it.

 

It won't be long before it overtakes hockey which is basically a winter sport, but football and basketball is a different story as college sports are massive in the U.S.

 

Spain? Poor crosses. Shots from nowhere. Losing the duels Vs Shaw and Walker....England are just about shading this.

 

Williams breaking up his own teams attacks!!

 

Yeah, even though they've had most of the ball they don't seem to have much in mind when they get in the England half.

 

England don't like passing to each other near the Spanish box. They prefer to give it back to Spain.

 

Maybe a more accurate phrase would be that "everyone is aware women's sports exists".

 

Doesn't seem to make a difference at this stage.

 

Both teams sloppy executing in the box so far.

 

Typical final, both sides playing very cautiously.

 

Sloppy Carvajal results in broken play from which Bellingham recovers possession and Spain concede a free kick. Then in broken play from the free kick, which England win,Foden has a chance. That's what I was taking about.

 

England back four have impressed

 

England are giving Spain far too much time to pick passes around the halfway line. There's no pressure on the ball at all. Luckily, Spain haven't really looked like unpicking the lock. They are there to be beaten, if England are brave enough to push up twenty fucking yards and press the bastard ball.

MTF

 

I've been in the boozer since half four so any further posts may be brought to you by alcohol.

Honestly ......two women talking absolute shit at half time in that new affected English accent....

 

It was a very entertaining exciting half of generally poor-quality football there to be won by either side but I'm favouring England right now.

 

I am, slightly. As the game goes on England will get some chances whether they create them or they just present themselves. Spain are just passing the ball around.

 

On the other hand

 

Beautiful goal

 

England had to be awake going out there...........Walker was MILES away from him......Shaw wasn't on Jamal......they were winning those duels earlier and just didn't come out for the 2nd half yet.

 

Olmo should have ended it there.

Expect England to go after them off that miss.

 

Olmo scuffed that one

 

Why didn't he do that against Germany?
