Doubt it. The USA girls are by far the best side in the tournament. Their game even approaches real football at times. Mind you that's probably normal, they've all probably been through their collegiate system just to play football and get some sort of social sciences degree.

Another batting fiasco at Chelmsford again yesterday then. Why is it always at Chelmsford, seems to be virtually every season. Now Bopara will make about 350 and we'll lose by an innings. Obviously we haven't addressed to problem of openers again and whilst we persevere with these young chaps, who are hit and miss, the real batsmen at 3 and 4 will be exposed to the new ball on virtually every occasion.

But yes, you know very well that for every summer tranfer window we have to buy at least one player who is totally crap. Might as well go for some cheap rubbish from Jockland than waste some serious money as we did with Boufal (who's not crap, just totally inapt for English Football both physically and mentally).

Don't know where you got missile from. You can control a drone to do whatever you want, deliver Amazon packages for instance. Anyway the truth will come to light soon, the Gulf of Oman and Straights of Hormuz are under surveillance 24/24 365 by at least 8 nations. Someone knows exactly what happened and will let us know if it suits them.

Deniability? Getting a "false flag" limpet mine shouldn't be any too difficult; Getting a false flag drone launched missile wouldn't be so obvious. There are always bits left behind you know, bits that are identifiable quite easily down to the day and point manufacture

Perhaps a mine attached by a drone, would be theoretically possible I think.

A fair few of these matches aren't really contests. Sri Lanka looked to have Australia under control today but the Aussies are just showing that they can up the rate whenever they want with their top order. They'll make about 330 no doubt and bowl Sri Lanka out for about 260. England, Australia,New Zealand, India for the semis. Might as well cut to the chase and start on best of 3 semis .

Ahem; This is where it's at lads. https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?61018-Women%92s-World-Cup#.XQS9BxYza1s

Pretty soft penalty that the French got yesterday evening ?? I mean the norwegian cleared the ball and just kicked the french woman a bit on her follow through.

I seem to remember they had a dodgy one dayer on the last day of a rain affected match for 10 points and we got nothing at all. Might have been a different year though. I remember being in Honiton for some reason or other at the time though.

Well yes but it's rubbish anyway so you don't really need to know what it says. Adrien Rabiot will not sign for a non-CL side no matter how much money they'd be willing to pay him (in this case a signing on fee of 15 million euros is cited).

Well of course it's BS, latest I heard he was even considering staying at PSG because his mum is such an a/h to deal with. Every time a club thinks they've agreed a deal with him she comes back with a new list of requirements to be tacked on.

Don't do that, his mum will come over and beat you up. Proper mummy's boy is notre Adrien. http://i.f1g.fr/media/ext/1152x648_crop/sport24.lefigaro.fr/var/plain_site/storage/images/football/ligue-1/actualites/veronique-rabiot-estime-que-son-fils-est-otage-du-psg-949712/25584279-1-fre-FR/Veronique-Rabiot-estime-que-son-fils-est-otage-du-PSG.jpg

Or even better do away with women only competitions entirely and have just mixed gender events. Let them see how it feels to take a 25-0 or so beating by a middle ranked men's side. Pay to be based on results of course. I agree entirely with equal pay for equal work but in this case it isn't is it.

Seen it all before. At least the dodgy one dayers on the last day of rain affected matches are a thing of the past. We'd have probably been better off if we were playing at Trent Bridge instead of some farmyard, colliery out-ground.

Alex Morgan you mean ? Thought she made Shane Long look a bit puny.

To be sure they can all enter but it's FIFA's job to ensure that pure rubbish like the Thais, totally inadapted to football, don't make fools of themselves before a global audience. They obviously want maximum commercial revenue so effectively they've allowed a nation to do exactly that.

Match drawn already, so that's no play again today. Whether that would have been the situation on a regular ground or not I couldn't say. Result is we only get 8 points from a pretty easy match on paper.

You are absolutely right there, the Thais,among others, shouldn't be in this tournament and 16 teams would be quite enough. But then it's about commercial issues again isn't it.

But then mens teams wouldn't just give up like the Thais last night. they were all too small and they knew it, gave up at 4 or 5 nil. Didn't Brazil get tonked 7-1 or something by Germany in 2014 ? Further back there were tournaments when qualifying for the knock-out stages depended on how many you put past Zaire , think the Yougoslavs scored 9 or so.

But the problem is within thec system of attribution of the places. From what I understood the Thais were qualified because they were 4th in the Asian Championship, perhaps there were ony 4 teams for all I know. They're classed 32nd or 34 th or something in the FIFA standings so in theory there are better teams who don't get a spot because of the geographical system of qualifying. It's the same as the men's world cup, better teams don't get a place because of the bias towards Central America, Asia and Africa.

An excellent start on Sunday against Notts. Now looking like the best we can hope for is a full day's play tomorrow allowing us to get some batting points as well. Season was going too well from a weather point of view, 2 washed out days have righted that then.

I've not watched a lot of women's football before but it seems to me that the style of football that they all seem to be trying to play is straight out of the old coaching manuals with very little personal panache at all. I mean it's watchable, but then so are U13 games. Watched both games yesterday and the number of stray passes and poor ball controls would send most coaches into fits of rage. Still there are a few reputedly good teams still to go on show, perhaps it'll be better. Mind you at least there was a bit of oomph in the Cameroon-Canada game, even a bit of rolling about on the deck.

And we sold for about 105 million so we actually invested nothing at all. But we bought players that we later sold for even more and so on and so forth. Execept for the last couple of years where we've just bought donkeys who've not grown in value.
