The Brazilian wingers are pretty stupid. How many times have they wasted good attacking play?

I'm surprised people aren't praising our own Phil Neville who is doing a terrific job.

We are fully behind him and the girls but there are a few of us that are a little concerned about the sloppiness in our play. Our first really, really big test will be on Thursday when we play a good and organised Norway side.

But on the whole I think that he has conducted himself very well and 4 wins from 4 isn’t to be sniffed at.

Diani was incredible tonight and some big individual moments for France pulled them through tonight. The great save from the keeper onto the bar, Nka's goaline clearance then Henry's captains goal.

The Brazilians pissed me off with their moaning. Marta didn't stop and a few others kept on too.

Was at a fanzone in Montpellier and it was buzzing, crowd are really getting behind the team.

I understand that just because someone explicitly writes something doesn't mean what they actually say reflects it, or do you believe everyone who starts with 'i'm not racist, but...' to be wholly without prejudice?

He may well write that there's 'no excuse,' but when he follows that with justification, he's definitively giving excuses. If he wanted to express a separation from this line of thinking he would've wrote something as simple as: Cameroon think they've been hard done by in previous tournaments, which is of course nonsense. It's unacceptable behaviour. He's tried to paint Cameroon's hang ups as reasonable. Phrases like 'rightly or wrongly' have no place in a post that condemns the actions and motives of the players and supporters.

Incredibly, he's even given a laughable interpretation of today's refereeing decisions to 'justify' the favour the ref afforded Cameroon off the back of today's abhorrent behaviour.
You clearly have a big moral axe to grind, so much so that you interpret it as ‘justification’ if someone writes about anything else than condemnation.

I don't follow women's football and had to Google Diani after the game. She was absolutely incredible

I don't recall to much from her during the group stages, but she came to life tonight. She spent 120 minutes turning defenders inside out, really was great to watch.

It's in Paris as well - and I'll be there! It should be quite an atmosphere if they do meet. France need to get back to enjoying the crowd's high expectations again, and that would be the night to do it.
Have you got a ticket you dark horse?!

First stop Le Havre QF then to Paris, then over to Lyon. I've actually currently got a spare for Paris as my traveling companion can't make that game. Anyone in Paris?
I actually just checked flights but too expensive for me at the mo :lol:

Brazil :(
Going to miss Kathellen and her rolled up tight shorts. Such legs.
Kathellen, Monica and Thaisa will be missed for sure. Real beauties.:(

I thought Tamires and Debinha were real Terriers tonight. That team would have given England a real test.

Diani's shot near the end of the game was saved by a finger tip but they didn't get a corner.

Again the Brazilian goal scorer frantically pointing to the Brazil badge after scoring but they've lost again.
