Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. ~Chief Seattle
Poor girl who made the own goal. She must be gutted and feeling it was the worst day of her life right now ,with the eyes of the country on her and probably press everywhere.
Germany started the game very well but the English defence seemed to beat their game plans and to some extent Germany fell apart. In my mind Bardsley the goal keeper won the game for England, I haven't watched the earlier games where she has been criticised. Full marks to Fara Williams, going for a bottom corner shot while bluffing under that pressure takes nerves of steel.
Referee didn't have an easy job, the boundaries between tackles and fouls seem very vague. Personally I'd prefer both the men's and women's game to be more about football skills and less of a wrestling/rugby match but its the media is where the money is and they want more action and controversy. I'll stick to watching tennis and badminton.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
We don't do charity in Germany, we pay taxes. Charity is a failure of governments' responsibilities - Henning Wehn
