Crikey - a 6 v 1 win and you're still complaining about "Dubious VAR decisions"!! :laugh: :tsk:

And I thought I was bad with my (only slightly :wink:) biased opinions on Red BS, Crashappen and Homer :D

Still, a very convincing win for the Lionesses - must be their best performance since the Euros (?). As an added bonus, leaving some rather peeved Chinese in the stadium and around the world watching on TV.... Thankfully, the LHG is NOT a fan. :D

:cheers: :cheers:

Yes, I'm sorry, I just don't trust VAR - hate it in fact.

People who start these pools should manage them as well, including me. :mrgreen:

Above is the leader board as of the end of the group stages.

The Round of 16 starts tomorrow and seeing that nothing yet has been remotely predictable, even by the expert pundits, I assume our mediocre performance will continue! :laugh:

Make your picks if you haven't, and good luck! :cheers:

Cheers Pete :thumb: I was about to post myself (honestly :oops: ).

I've not a clue at the best of times with the "Round Ball Game" but as you say, some of the results must have baffled the most knowledgeable of the game!!

Certainly a bit of a stink at home with the likes of Germany and Brazil not making it through to the last 16. Pity really, I quite enjoyed what little I saw of Brazil!!

Good to see the US women's team sent home. Granted, I don't despise them as much as I used too since the departure of one of sport's most toxic personalities, but... :D

What a way to go out though.

The Swedish keeper was most definitely their hero. USA were by far the better side, but I was happy to see the Swedes go through.

Yes, she came on as sub, but her fixed play delivery was attrocious. She actually laughed when she missed her penalty.

Pissing audio out of sync on BBC. Hearing what's happened slightly before seeing it. Bloody annoying.

Can't disagree with the VAR Red Card. Another Chelsea hooligan :cuss:

What a waste of talent.
