^ I've never had to install anything shown on the crickfree site buks. You get the usual flash/media player etc. etc. advertised/offered, but I simply ignore it and go to full screen - never had a problem doing it this way.

Just been watching England v Colombia, my first ever experience of women's football, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. More satisfying than watching many of the men's international games...

Please note the absence of any innuendo, sexism, gender discrimination and double entendres in my post.

Oh, one more thing - I trust after watching replays of England's first goal, the Colombian keeper will have learned the value of keeping her legs together.

^ Give up...! I've tried to reply to your post DM, but deleted so many attempts due to fear of repercussions , I just can't do it.

Seriously, I did see a little as the LHG was interested - can't say it was bad at all from what I saw!

What say you, Engaland supporters?

England World Cup heartbreak: Have they upset football gods?

Hands of God, penalty shoot-out traumas, untimely red cards, and now a last-minute own goal. English teams - male or female - seem to specialise in going out of World Cups in the cruellest of fashions. Mere coincidence? A national sporting trait? Or are the footballing gods against them? Ben Dirs imagines what a higher authority makes of it all…

^ I'd forgotten it was on and only saw the highlights, but from what I saw I thought England deserved to go through - certainly looked like a game worth watching (unlike the men's version of Wendyball).

Heart breaking way to go out, but this group have been the most successful yet for English women, and the first English football team to reach the semi's in a World Cup since 1990 when Gazza was bawling his eyes out......

I am by no means a Wendyball supporter, but have enjoyed the odd game I've watched of this World Cup. Certainly more entertaining than their overpaid, prima-donna male counterparts.... and somewhat easier on the eye!!

Final 5-2 USA with 1 own goal. 3 goals scored within the first 16 minutes by midfielder Carli Lloyd. One goal was from about midfield and over the head of the too far forward goal keeper. Makes a great highlight clip and I'm sure it will be on TV news for the next few days. Quite a game, but not a good day for Japan. Congrats to the girls!, and nothing for the Japanese girls to be ashamed of. Pete
