Two draws. Not disasters by any means, but 3rd place is probably the best either can do now. But.... there's always hope for better [:)]

Under 21 Championships today and England vs Sweden. Sweden would be happy with a point after beating Italy and England desperately needing all three after losing to Portugal.
Looked like we were on our way out but a goal in the last 5 mins keeps the group very much open. Frankly I think we were lucky - our under 21's look like our senior team and our women; frankly just not good enough [:(]
England 1 - 0 Sweden

...anyways back to the football.
The England U-21 team showed they are every bit as overpaid, over-hyped and, frankly, every bit as useless as their elder compadres.
Can the English women break the mould or will the outcome be all too predictable? The usual pre-match quotes and hyperbole have already started; Canada are running scared, the pressure is all on Canada, we can go all the way, there is nothing to stop England winning the world cup blah blah blah. With headlines like that we all know there is only one possibility here..... Taxi for England [8|]

..... Lionesses you are not reading the script!!
We are supposed to be bigged up to win the tournament (despite the presence of
much better teams still in) only to lose disappointingly at the quarter-final stage (if we get that far).
Anyway well done - perhaps normal service will be resumed against Japan in the semis.....
England 2-1 Canada

Thank-you.
No I'm sure she won't - these things happen. Remember Beckham was not hounded for any poor or unlucky play - Beckham was vilified because he cost us a match through petulantly kicking an Argentine player right in front of the referee and putting us down to 10-men.

Mourinho takes Falcao....
Well given the season he has endured at Manchester United, if Falcao resurrects his career at Chelsea that will be another feather in "The Special One's" cap. If not......
Interesting.

Well done to the Lionesses for finishing 3rd in the World Cup and.... actually beating Germany in the process!!
England beat Germany in a game of football... wow, there is something you don't write very often [:)]
Good luck to Japan and the USA tonight. May the best team win - and let's hope Team USA keep their clothes on.... [:D]

One is reminded of Thatcher's comment after a soccer loss to Germany - "After all, we beat Germany twice at their national 'sport'". She was referring to WWI and WWII.

[:D] - I cannot imagine Lady Thatcher saying that! Here is Wiki on the subject:
Beaten the Germans twice at their national game in the 20th century?[edit]
What about the 1990 quote attributed to Mrs. Thatcher, who upon being told that Germany had defeated England at football, or soccer, (which they did, of course) had allegedly replied, "They may have beat us at our national game, but we beat them twice at their national game in the 20th century.? --Matthead 22:03, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
This quote originally appeared, in slightly different form, in an English newspaper on the morning of the 1966 World Cup Final. In this report it is attributed to Vincent Mulchrone of the Daily Mail.
The remark is repeated whenever there is a football match between England and Germany. It is doubtful Margaret Thatcher ever said it in public.

Good to see we are clearing out some of the dead wood and players who are no longer good enough [:)]
So far have dispensed with:
Capoue
Paulinho
Kaboul
Still more to go I hope - Soldado, Fazio, Stambouli, Adebayor.....

He had to go, he did not want to stay, and he was not very loyal in the ways he communicated that.
And for all that money, we will buy a superb striker...
Or more likely, some utter rubbish [8|]
