Most of the one touch football I've seen consists of blootering the ball as far as possible, usually out of play.

I wonder if they're more willing to attempt one-touch than their professional male counterparts?

Could be that, or they just don't want the ball.

I thought the lack of diving and general poncing and preening made it a much better game than the mens version. I'll continue to watch.

I agree with that. When the England goalie sat down with a sore eye Nova was all "Get on with it you wimpy fraud".

"Tut tut" said I, "They don't ever fake it, women".

How very dare you, a broken eye lash may sound trivial but to some it could be a life or death issue

I did have a downer on the Canadian centre half who was wearing false eyelashes and it made me enjoy the first goal even more, but as the game went on have to say I was impressed by her performance. A centre half who can actually run is obviously still a bit of a novelty in blighty, especially with two classic English centre half donkeys at the other end.

(What's a female donkey called?)

(It's not really an insult- Adams, Bruce, Pallister, Terry are all cut from this cloth)

Who will win tonight? Will the Germans dominate with superior tactics and ruthlessness? Will the Americans turn up on time?
