Must admit I don’t watch a lot of women’s football but was impressed with the technical ability of GB players. Passing was crisp and very good movement off the ball. Very impressed with the Scottish player Little in midfield, like a female Fabregas the way she looks about when receiving the ball. Just once again the goalkeeping standard let down the game, Chile goalie was shocking.
Pleased you saw that ! First half was good crisp passing with the midfield 3 pulling the strings: Little, Weir and Walsh. 2nd half, in control and Bronze her normal powerhouse display as a right wingback.
Casey Stoney was not only a top footballer but she is a top coach and I like her analysis on kim Little when she said she scans constantly. White has gone from running the flanks to being a central striker in last couple of years.
The Chile keeper was superb last time I watched her but she was poor today. Mega bags under her eyes, may be allergic to Japanese pine AKA Acers.
Monty Don for CL, in Japan.
School person error, the Chile keeper should have acclimatised herself with a bonsai acer (CL’s Northern correspondent AKA Titmarsh) 😉.
Yes, that is the full name GB & NI. As you know Guinness, the UK at the moment is Scotland, Wales, NI and little old England. For how much longer is up for debate
Don't know if it's already been posted, but amazon prime are showing some of the events. At 8.45 its Mexico vs France at football, the 12.15 its Brazil vs Germany.
That Spanish team is unbelievably talented and yet can’t score against Egypt.
Starting line up has Olmo, Oyarzabal, Asensio, Pedri, Merino, Ceballos, Torres, Garcia, Simon. Half of those lot just took Spain to the semis of Euro 2020.
Only the full backs don’t make me sit up and take notice.
I like Golf and Tennis but never been a fan of these sports being in the Olympics. Enjoy the Athletics, Swimming, Cycling, Rowing, Sailing, Volleyball and ever since watching a few matches on the sands of Weymouth, female beach volleyball which has a certain aesthetic quality.
US women’s team getting a lot of stick for kneeling during their anthem and not before the kick off. 3 of their players stood up.
From whom? There are a lot of right-wingers in the US who hate the USWNT and make up lies about them. They'd give them stick if they came on the field in Just Say No shirts.
Watched the first 15 minutes of the opening ceremony and had to go away😰 It was like a funeral in a horror film. Many people are saying similar things on Chinese social media.
Y'all heard the story behind the outbreak of positive tests in the Czech Olympic camp? Possibly not, as for some reason UK media isn't running it yet. The massive level of arrogant Covidiotry behind it would be funny if it were not for the ruined careers and dreams of several young athletes it has caused

Huddersfield's unbeaten run Is still in the Guinness book of records; Lee Clarke breathes a sigh of relief.

Don't know why, I've always had a soft spot for Laura Kenny (Trott)
