    Oh look there's the big screen in Glasto...goal!!!
    Get high without the mushrooms tonight...
    So, fashion notes please Jayne:

    1. Gabby's dress this evening. V striking ? Kept a good one back for tonight I'd say. works very well on telly IMO ( She does have the odd shocker IIRC)

    2. The French shirts ? good or bad choice ?

      The French away polka-dot number? OK.... they have a long tradition of such, introduced them into very stylish legwear in the 90s, and French Navy of course (with Navy, almost always the darker the better...)....the usual problem with smaller dots is you can't see them even from a short distance....self-defeat or surprise on close-up...?

      But is Gabby's very smart crisp dress too à la Française...?

      Watch out I'll miss a goal at this rate...

        Norway seem to have turned up for the second half.

              We made a very good team look ordinary .....
              Lionesses

              No VAR Catch-22 penalties tonight...!

              So France or USA in the semis on Tuesday.... that'll be some occasion...

Chances are Big Jim Goodwin will be in the frame, I suppose...hope there's a better handover than there was last summer when Stubbs did a clear-out and bombed within 8 games, and we only just managed to hang on.
                Big Jim it is John.
                I did worry when I saw ‘Jim to St Mirren’ on a Stockport County message board,thought you’d poached our manager for a minute.
                Anyway good luck to the man and the Buddies.

                  Top WWC game tonight, France v USA, (rankings 4 and 1) France with an impassioned home crowd, and probably better than their ranking suggests...
                  The heat could be a big factor tonight.... we're in higher-than-Mexico territory here...

                  ....and England meet the winners next Tuesday - I'd like France, if only for the sake of an intense World Cup Semi atmosphere with the hosts...

                    Yes indeed, Rob. Referees are polishing up their whistles and looking out their extra large cards. Can't help thinking of this old favourite.

                      AT LAST! YES!
                      Come on France, come on.....! Renard the Foxy scorer....!

                      Great finale now...

                      USA it is.... France seemed a bit overawed for a while but finally had a go....
                      Semi-final USA v England next Tuesday....

                        Player power it seems.

                          And the players responded immediately with an away win against the mighty Alfreton Town.

                            Here we go then....!
                            Lionesses the underdogs tonight.......

                            But what a moment in Womens Sporting History and sporting history generally.... I often had to pretend to know nothing about football in the 1980s...
                            So profoundly unfeminine...!

                            Seen Julie Ertz going into the tackle? My God, hope we still have 11 players on the pitch by the 2nd half...

                            Rapinoe v Bronze.... let battle commence....

                              Relieved to be only one down....in a breathless game, USA speed and pressure pinned us in our own half for nearly 15 minutes - they can do that to you.

                              But we fought back & we're still in it - and USA didn't keep this intensity up all game against France...

                                Think we need to play a bit longer, play the percentages, get the american full backs turning. They will pick us off if we try to play out from the back continually.

                                But yes, still in it and well capable of scoring more goals.
