Title IX is categorically why the USA is in the top of pretty much every women’s organised sport. Volleyball, Basketball, Football (soccer to you), Track & Field (except netball but that’s a bit of a British colonial game). You keep girls regularly playing sport at higher numbers for longer than any other nation.…

Does Chi make an England squad had she declared at 18 and played through the youth system? probably.

“Vivianne Miedema scored 31 goals in 27 appearances for her club team, Arsenal, including a league-leading 22 goals in domestic play.”

I think the keepers who have bided their time with the US didn’t have other options. A lot of very decent but not spectacular players have chosen Mexico, Jamaica etc because they were never going to beat some of the old hands. I respect that. You can wait forever and maybe never play at a World Cup or be Bardsley and…

Solo is the best keeper in womens football for over a generation! I just dont see why you'd be 3rd or even 4th when you could play number 1 for another good squad

Mate. I know!

Hegerberg or Harder don’t miss that penalty!

That’s a shame. I’ve heard s much about her I wanted to see. But I guess she’ll be 21 in 2023 and we can all watch her and a 29 year old Kerr then!

Oh yeah, it sucks but then who do you want not to be there? Italy just beat Australia and without them you lose watching Bonasea, Norway are a bloody nice unit, Scotland are the underdog story that should make people happy, plus Kim Little is special and deserves to captain her country at a major tournament!

I don’t agree on that she’s 34 now, no way even if she was better she should have chosen the US, because you get to be second or third choice behind Solo forever. She credits her love of footy on being English (ie her parents and whole family being English) so I think that had a big impact.

I want to see Mary Fowler and see if this wunderkind is as good as twitter has been telling me. 

About 5-10 you can speak about.

I’m English and I wish I shared your enthusiasm. I fear once again at a major tournament we will play a top 4 of players who are out of form or shoved into th wrong position. Duggan if fit will likely start on the wing, despite not playing there for her club, Parris too will likely start on the wing despite playing as…

Norway frankly shouldn’t make it passed the QF round. They are decent going forward but their whole squad is weak below the starting 11.

Bardsley is a player I’ve always thought was overrated. Is she a good keeper or is she tall? I’ve always thought it was the latter. She’s not a bad keeper but if Carly Telford was 6ft she’d be world class and Bardsley isn’t.

Like honestly if the tip of your big toe is all of you that is offside it’s a bullshit call to overturn it on VAR

I'd personally like to see offside being the opposite of now. If any of you is onside then you are onside

it took multiple police officers all their ammunition to take this guy down. The fantasy of one of these workers being able to stop this or any other mass shooting is just that, a fantasy.

You can say the same about some of the best slips catches.
