Copa wasn't on telly but was watching the stream at the same time. Copa game was better to begin with but this one got a lot better when England woke up.
Umm...the USA are winning 4-0 inside 15 minutes of the final.
With a fantastic goal from the halfway line. 
The fuck? Just checked the score and its 4-1 after 28 minutes. Guess it's probably for the best we didn't get through Japan, assume we'd have been battered too.
seems like we're peaking at the right time.. lol
bloody nora

Saw the Lloyd goal the goalie was horribly out of position but still a hell of a strike, heh heh I didn't think women could kick a ball that long so maybe I'd've been caught out too lol.
I don't get it. What's the outrage?
It's a ridiculous tweet. Do you think the FA would welcome the men's team saying they "go back to being fathers, spouses and sons today"?
I don't see why not, and there would be nothing wrong with that tweet either. This is nothing but fake outrage.
Outrage is the wrong word but it still shows the backwards ass thinking of these guys. Completely unnecessary and belittling remark imo.

Come on, it's not 1960.
It's humdrum feminism to question language that represents women mainly through their relations to men or their role in their families.
mountains & molehills & all that...
i particularly likes this: #putdownyourmedalandmakemeasandwich.. 
I imagine Hope Solo would say #f**koffanddoityourselffatboy
Then she would swiftly beat the crap out of the guy. 
Speaking of Solo, I can't get past the double standards being employed when it comes to the consequences/punishments of her issues of domestic abuse versus when male sports persons (NFL, NBA) are accused of the same.
Shes a woman Flob, the physical threats aren't comparable.

She can lick my ass anytime......
Err is that sexist? I find it difficult to keep up with the trends these days.
Don't worry Biggus, a fossil stays a fossil, you just wind up in a deeper geological stratum. :hat:
