Had a few games on the go. Watched a bit of it, then QPR then settled on Hoffenheim vs Bremen too.

@Stan Just to inform you that Leicester are bottom of the super League and the premier League. Time for the crying reaction I think

At least I'm not telling you Leicester are bottom of both leagues again

@Stan @Tommy @Bluewolf Here's an incredible stat for you. 6 games into the super league at not a single draw yet 

[Gunnersaurus]

England women are playing in Bristol next year against Belgium so will try to go ti that game. My sister says she wants to go to a football match to see what its like so might go with her 

[Gunnersaurus]

@Eco USA women have lost 3 games in a row. Very unusual. @Tommy I fancy Germany for the world cup. I think it will be England, USA or Germany but I do fancy Germany. Spain and France are good but always seem to mess it up in the big tournaments. 

It does seem weird having an England team that genuinely could win the world cup. We're not used to it

[Reluctant Striker]

The white-ness of the England women's team causing problems again. Beth Mead was recently asked about lack of black players in an interview & said:

'I think it's completely coincidental. We put out our best 11 and you don't think of anyone's race or anything like that. I think that's more an outsiders perspective.'

Apparently Ian Wright has been on the phone to her over the 'disappointing' comments.

Personally I think she was highly likely just being honest. And if there are inclusivity problems, and it is indeed more white than the men's team, maybe the end of production line England team is the wrong end to be barking at. But it's obviously where her mind will be & responded to the question from. She's a young footballer not a politician or social activist.

I don't see the issue with her comments.

Well it could come across as saying there isn't any issue. However the issue is at development level. Once they get to senior level if more white people have got through the system because of racism there is nothing you can do at that point. You have to pick your best team.

Over 20.000 tickets sold for Bayern vs. Barcelona tonight. It really looks like the last Euros gave women's football a decent push in popularity in Germany.

Really tempted to get tickets for Germany vs. Sweden in Duisburg in February.

I was going to say "why would you want to watch such an awful team?", but then I realised that you were referring to the women's team and not the men's, so I'll let you off .

Yea, I'm not in the slightest interested to see the men's national team. 

I paid 20 € for a seat, which is fair, I think. For the men's team I would have probably paid at least double.

I'm going to England v Belgium in a few weeks

[Gunnersaurus]

@Tommy @Bluewolf @Stan 

England v Belgium at Ashton gate has sold out. Will still go down on the day and see if I can get a ticket but its a good indication of how far womens football has come in England.

Just watched West Ham vs. Arsenal. 0-0 in the end, meh. West Ham's goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold had a great game though! A few cracking saves.
