I often wonder if some guys are grabbing their crotches whilst posting their response on here 🤔 Apparently some Spanish men think such gestures are appropriate at a Ladies World Cup Final.

Topics: 67I finally watched a bit of a game yesterday , crowd sounded like a schoolboy international crowd and the commentary was awful. I was mainly doing other things so wasn’t really watching ,just listening so it would be unfair to comment on the actual football but did notice a few occasions where men would have tackled harder to prevent break aways. The commentary was awful especially when commenting on refs, even suggesting the ref was partisan towards the Spanish which was unprofessional to say the least and I eventually shut it down when I heard “She’s been the best version of herself ”
Were any games commented on by men ?World Cup? When?
I know the Rugby World Cup starts soon and that it’s taking place in France.
Friday 8th Sept
France v New Zealand
That’ll be a stonking game.August 28, 2023 at 11:10 am #270546The women’s final? It was pretty good. But although the girls have the tactics and fitness, they seem to lack the individual strength and ability to provide that spark ’64 mentions.
Flags? Hardly any around – maybe because it has become synonymous with the shame of Brexit. But the tabloids were still full of patriotic hyperbole, because moments like these are an opportunity to appear like they’re readers’ best friends. Fanatical support sells well. And their chumminess on great occasions and support for the national team makes readers more likely to follow their political line later on, even when it goes against their own interests.
But, this ‘support’ for England’s men and women also puts the national team and young rising stars under tremendous pressure – ‘England expects…’ and so on. And this pressure – coming from the exaggerated, populist excess written and said before most major tournaments – is why England often eff-up in World Cups. What do the press barons really care? They’re mostly tax-exiles and foreigners anyway.
As someone said above, the Spanish didn’t believe their own press, and reaped the benefit. We’d do well to do the same.
August 28, 2023 at 11:19 am #270547…shame of brexit? You mean wanting control of our borders,being a sovereign country,wanting to decide our destiny with a democratically elected government. Wait a minute- when are the publics wishes going to materialise?

August 30, 2023 at 9:00 pm #270804Nice to see the women getting the same match fees as men in the cricket, what’s it matter if their game only attracts 20% of the crowds that the men’s game does.
September 2, 2023 at 8:54 am #270950The Jenni Hermoso incident was said to be footballs “me too” moment, Really,not even the Spanish me too moment, signing Mason Greenwood lol.
