Does anyone know if this years competition is being screened on the BBC (usually BBC Three) ? I can't seem to find anything on the interweb.

I notice it's being held in South Africa, which means one thing:

The return of the VUVUZELA!!

I normaly really enjoy the latter stages of the tournament but the groups can be pretty poor

This tournament gets worse each day, the standard is absolutely shocking.

And to sum it up Nigeria just got a penalty and with a whole host of strikers and attacking midfielders on the pitch, they let Obi Mikel take it, a player who hasn't scored for SIX years. Yes, he missed.

absolutely woeful standard.

Watched Niger v DR Congo yesterday. Barely Kent County League level and thats not an exaggeration.

Burkina Faso v Ethiopia later.

can't wait.

I've watched bits and pieces of the past three tournaments and each time I've had to turn it over after about 15 mins as it is just an awful competition. I remember the one in Angola where there were literally about 50 odd people in these enormous stadiums.

I honestly think I've enjoyed watching Women's Football more!

It gets worse.

Zambia get a penalty that didn't look a foul and it was outside the box.

However the pen was brilliantly taken by their keeper. 1-1.
