Thanks Bats,
Picture-wise you are the Zorro of the forum.
Re - "good players" : your integrity was never in doubt!
Seems to me even in the (mens) World Cup the brazilian (female) fans are always the most eye catching.
Good to see they can also play a bit as well..
Imagine, eleven dusky "Gregory's girls"...should invite them over to play the Doncaster Belles...

*** GIRLY FOOTY SHOCK ***

USA 0 BRAZIL 4 - Women's World Cup Semi-Final

Go Brazil!

The USAs first defeat in a competitive match since the last World Cup. The Bat's tip for top Brazilian player, Marta, scores two great goals while the USA danger woman, Abby Wambach, doesn't get a look in against the Brazilian defence.

Some negative points .... the Brazilian side indulged in a lot of 'theatrics' and got a US player sent off when no foul had been committed. The ref was awful, apart from the sending off she missed a blatant penalty and several bad tackles went unpunished.

The US coach dropped his goalkeeper for no good reason and her replacement had a first half stinker.

A really good competitive match until Brazil took control. The US girls certainly didn't know how to cope with their speed.

Incidentally, the Brazilians' ball control was excellent. Superb stuff!

Watch the highlights tonight on BBC2.

The Final (Brazil v Germany) is on Sunday .... and guess ho's going to miss it by being at work!

Me ........

Go Brazil!

That Marta is quite a player. Great ball control and a tremendous shot.
I heard one commentator say that she was the Pele and Maradona (combined) of women's football.
Maybe Chelsea should sign her.

She'd certainly be a better player for us than Shevchenko!

since you are playing Fulham tommorrow you may as well play Sheva since the Fulham defence must be the easiest touches after Derby and Tottenham.

On the 18th of this month if my memory serves me right. I agreed with you Bats that girly footy has come a long way and is worth watching.
