No meaningful matches around to watch yet so to feed the addiction I've been watching some of the Women's World cup.Just sat through the last hour of today's World cup quarter final clash between England and France and just like last years men's version I ended up with that empty disappointment you get from watching England in major championships.
Leading though an excellent Jill Scott goal with 3 minutes to go France snatched an equaliser to force extra time, by the end of the 30 minutes England were full of walking wounded but somehow managed to survive against the much better French making me think that it could just be one of those games where the better team usually loses on penalties?
It started well with England goalie Bardsley making a good save to stop the first French penalty, then England's star player Kelly Smith despite hobbling around for most of extra time with an injury banged in England's first.
The next 5 were scored leaving Chelsea player Rafferty to try and put England 4-3 up with one each left, sadly she missed the target completly :(
France scored and then England captain Faye White did a Waddle and hit the crossbar leaving the usual story of England out of a major cup on penalties :(
