I'll bet a load of people wouldn't tune into that twist on the meaning straight away

I bet 98 percent of the male population in the English speaking world would though. We are wired that way I'm afraid.

Yep!

edit: damnit, posted the wrong video

98% of all Americans definitely as "Come on x" is a British saying as far as I know.

France matching Germany and Necib scores with a deflection.

Lass who's just come on Lavogez is a beaut, as is the goalscorer.

Germany score from a dodgy peno. It was ball to hand and not the first bad call.

Good call just now tho with Lavogez making a blatant dive. Should have been booked.

That equaliser has the French rocked. Looks like one of the girls is in tears.

Fuckin awful miss by Thiney. Germany so jammy.

Germany on penalties- it is football after all!

Great match, really enjoyed it. Crushing for the French, should've gone through. Lucky Germans.

Yup. French shoulda taken their chances though! Thiney's miss on 2nd viewing... bloody nora.

Don't need to be no preacher to fall in love with the Christian Press! :drool:

This WWC is so competitive in every game. Closely matched teams all round.

Not really... China were outclassed, US have only themselves to blame for not scoring more. In the early stages it was teeming with batterings.

Teeming

Fallon d'Floor candidate:

Shocking miss:

Who said women don't dive? Up there with your Gilardinos and Rooneys.

Who was that Norwegian dude, playing for Bolton I think, who dived against us? That one is up there with the worst of them.

That was Pedersen for Blackburn. Not as high profile but definitely one of the worst ever.

Come on Matildas!

Just switched on as Japan scored. England-Canada in an hour.

Japan completely outclassed the Aussies, playing at a level they didn't show earlier. Should have scored more, but were sometimes guilty of overplaying things. That's how good they are though cos 'overplaying' is bit of an alien concept in the women's game.

Yup, that's the one. Worst dive ever.

Wow. Didn't think I'd see England in a World Cup semi final in my lifetime. Canada were the better team for most of it and at 2-0 there was so much time left I didn't expect us to hold on. Pretty heroic defending at the end. Good to see a couple of the Arsenal players get on too. Going to be tough against Japan but at the stage where anything can happen now I guess.

Woke up to see the scoreline. Knew England would go through, Canada has not impressed as a team despite having better individual players.

USA v Germany semi final
Surprised how well USA is playing. I've been underwhelmed by their play, although they started to show some sparks in their last game.
Whoa. Players banging heads

Geez. German star misses a PK.
USA awarded a PK which was outside the box....1-0 USA

I'm so deprived of football I'm watching this....at least it's not as bad as it was a few years ago.

Can't see Germans equalising.

Brienne of Tarth comes on for USA

2-0 USA. Unusually a penalty miss has cost Germany.

Do we have much chance against Japan tomorrow?

You do actually. Japan's forward line are skillful but not efficient, and while the back four are very good, the keeper is plain dodge.

England level through a penalty won by a ridiculous dive.

(Edit: perhaps not so ridiculous on replay)

Well in girls. Japan look a fair bit better though - will take a bit more luck to win this. 

Shame Jacqui Oatley's been doing the coverage. Always makes me switch channels.

Lol. England ladies...

Phil Jones' sister just done em in.

England OG with 1 min extra time left arghhhhh

Brutal. Last minute Bassett OG to get knocked out in the WC semi finals. Fairly obvious script. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's been a movie. 

dear oh dear

men, women, not women, it doesn't matter. England always look for the dramatic exit. must be gutting for them though. would've been good to see a new champion

It would be fantastic if Japan do USA again.
