Good luck to them. I keep hearing moaning from everyone about how they haven't sold all the tickets but apparently they have sold 38,000 for the games today, personally I think that is quite an impressive number. More than the Welsh men get anyway.0

Just seems a little curious that this is taking place 'before' the opening ceremony..........has this happened before I wonder, where an event in the host nation has taken place before the opening ceremony......I can't ever remember it if it has?
Somehow doesn't feel quite right.0 -

Personaly, I think no events should begin until 'after' the opening ceremony.

It's just that the football programme is so intensive they wouldnt be able to fit in any other way.
I'm excited for the football. Obviously it's not the world cup or the euros, but there are some strong sides and it's exciting to see Brazil, Spain, Uruguay competing on English soil.0 -
78,000 sold for Tuesday womens game at Wembley, Team GB v Brazil, and they think it may sell out.
70,000 sold for the mens game at OT Tomorrow, with the Wembley game on Saturday a 90,000 sell out0 -
Decent figures in all fairness!0

I wouldn't go to a womens game even if I got paid to go, not the womens fault but the standard is so annoying and boring to watch.0

Got £100 on them winning today to win £50 - hopefully they do the business .0

Have to agree. It's embarrassing bad even at international level.000__Jaaaaay__000 said:I wouldn't go to a womens game even if I got paid to go, not the womens fault but the standard is so annoying and boring to watch.

In sentiment I agree but squeezing in 6 games in a fortnight is probably just a bit too much.SoundAsa£ said:

How could anyone ignore one of your tips given your stunning performance in the Euro spread bet competition?

Pretty much been in every Olympics for over 100 years. Sadly doesn't tend to get that well covered. I'd rather watch football than javelin or archery, personally.ThreadKiller said:I just don't see the football in the same light as a true Olympic event

I took my girls to watch the England v Holland ladies international at The Valley a few years back and was pleasantly surprised.
Karen Carney ( I think her name was) put over some crosses better than anything we saw from Rommedahl at the time!
I always find that the women try to play a proper game to feet which is aesthetically pleasing. The big general area of weakness, in my opinion, is the goalkeeping which is often poor.

Anyone know how tickets are going for Gabon versus South Korea
I find it hard to take the women seriously when me and my my mates could probably beat the Team GB Womens team.
