Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Ok, history awaits. Complete no hope underdogs and rank outsiders to two games away from history. And boy do these girls now FIRMLY believe they can become World Champions. Last team to beat the Japanese ladies in WC Finals ...... Yup, the English gals Loving this. For someone who doesn't do England at all, I've really gotten into the girls this tournament. Good luck the Lionesses. Keep proving everyone wrong. Your destiny is NOW! 2-1 England. Hail.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Darn that was close to the opener 30 seconds in. Keep it going. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Awwww crud. They worked so hard and frustrated the Japenese so well for half an hour then a bad defensive mistake and badly concealed penalty. All to do again. Come on girls. Heads up. Hail.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) WOOT! Penalty to England. Although it looked VERY dubious. No penalty for me. GOAL! Lucky England but we'll take it. Go Lionesses! Hail. Edited July 1, 2015 by Gibbs Hog Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) 1-1 half time. Very lucky to get a penalty that wasn't. But a very good performance that has frustrated the Japanese. The girls workrate has been phenomenal. Not sure how long they can keep it up but the belief is there and they're WELL in this. And now I see the replay at HT the Japanese penalty was no penalty as the fouls occurred outside the box. And the English one actually was on the slow mo. Ankles taken. Definite penalty. I got both wrong. ' Lucky Japan. Come on the Lionesses. 45 mins from history! Hail. Edited July 1, 2015 by Gibbs Hog Heaven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 BBC Sport ? @BBCSport Stoke have agreed a club record fee for Inter Milan midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri http://bbc.in/1HuU2hd #scfc That move to Italy worked out well then. Stupid lil' idiot. Enjoy the 'delights' of Stoke. Hail. Wow... he might be the shortest player they've ever had He's certainly not a bruiser either. **** him... I'm still sure BR is pissed he missed out on the Alpine Messi. That's a name that we could've used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) i'm english, but that was crap. Legit make up call. The pen to Japan was a free kick and could've been red, but never a penalty. The linemen/women are awful. Have been the whole tourney. I also think FIFA want scoring up, it's obvious. Every team in the final four here have had a pen to take. **** the Alpine Messi! We have the Yorkshire Figo! Hail. Just think of what Arlo White could've done with that... "Here's the Welsh Xavi... back to the Mignolet... up to the Yorkshire Figo... well played through to the Alpine Messi.. into the box for Lambert!!! Oh.... the first touch lets him down and it's a goal kick to Yeovil Town" Edited July 2, 2015 by DC9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the level of overall officiating in the woman's game hasn't developed at anything like the rate the players have. ..... Just think of what Arlo White could've done with that...

DC9 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Japan is doing a nice job making room in the English midfield by the formation change. Looks like 4-4-1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) All we need to do now is sign his other favourite Leeds 'legend' Delph ..... The Pele of the Pennines! Yers avvin' that one Morrison lid? Japan is doing a nice job making room in the English midfield by the formation change. Looks like 4-4-1-1. But there's no end product. Great possession but it's all side to side and dead easy to defend. To say they're World Champs they aren't impressive at all. Hail.

Elessar78 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I enjoy watching Japan play. Very nice first touch by all their players. Their individual skills are very text book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 So, Copa America... after full time ends with a tie, they went straight into penalties. I thought it was fantastic. Extra time can be a drudgery. Arguably, I thought the game intensified because they didn't want to take the chance of penalties. They should just do that here.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does it get ANY more CRUEL than that! Awwwwww man. Heartbreaker. Oggie 2 mins into stoppage time. England had all the chances. Hit the bar twice. Dominated the second half. But fete decreed otherwise. Excellent, EXCELLENT showing girls. You deserved FAR more. So, so sorry for you all. You did everyone proud. Awwwwww man that is SO cruel. Hail. Edited July 2, 2015 by Gibbs Hog Heaven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC9 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Transfer Related @TransferRelated 31s31 seconds ago Liverpool have almost completed the signing of Christian Benteke and could announce the deal soon. [talkSPORT] JOE.co.uk @JOE_co_uk 13m13 minutes ago Balotelli linked with £14m move to Stoke.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Metro is reporting the Benteke thing which tells me it's bull****. In the past week, these papers have sworn to me that Vidal had already signed with Arsenal and that Schneiderlin had already signed with United DESPITE pics being out of him at Saints practice Lol I need Sky Sports or BBC confirmation lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... they aren't undefeated but they aren't wrong yet. They did say Vidal to Arsenal. They also said Kovacic to Liverpool. Both are still possible.
