    Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    I honestly think Kerr's achievements stack up to Jackson's pretty well. She's been top 3 for the past 3 Ballon D'Or awards. She's still the all time leading scorer in the USA domestic leagues even though she left after 2019. Her current club side have 4 straight titles and 3 straight cups...

    Think you might have missed me off the list for the mixtapes. That said, I'm terribly hungover and could've just misread the order.

    *Official* Road to 2024 T20 World Cup (West Indies & USA)

    Not a direct comparison, but I've been to a couple of football world cups. The easiest way to find up to date information was often through the supporter groups, so it may be useful to sign up to some of those and keep an eye on your emails. On occasion they even had the info before it was...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Gavi had marked him out of the game until that point as well. Just puts his foot through it and scores a better. Just notched up a likely winner as well.

    Ha, timing. Just as I was posting

    *Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

    I straight up said in the post I haven't seen it yet. Not trying to justify it at all, just trying to get context. All I have to compare it to in my head is various games in club cricket where the keeper thinks he's a chance of a stumping of a batsman who takes guard out of his crease and ends...

    *Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

    Haven't seen the dismissal in question, but if Carey had missed the stumps and given away a chance for the batsmen to run, would people have expected Bairstow to not take advantage because he thought the ball was dead?

    *Official* Round of 16 Thread

    Depends on the sales phase you buy them in. It's usually broken up into three options, individual match tickets, team series tickets (buy to follow a particular country through the tournament for 3-7 games, if that team is knocked out you then follow the team that beat yours) or venue series...

    Group A - Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands

    Yeah, they've been genuinely bad. Definitely worse than they were in other games I've seen them play. Not really connecting with any passes over 10 yards at the moment. Normally I'd expect to see them breaking the game up more with little fouls and winning fouls themselves, but there's not been...

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    Honestly, I feel like it's the other way around. Pre-VAR it felt to me Iike any vaguely close call was scrutinised for an age in any media analysis and interviews of players and coaches, and the integrity or ability of the referee subsequently called into question far more often. Now I feel like...

    *Official* Road to 2022 World Cup

    The FIFA+ app has it listed in their live events. NZ Football had nobody listed as holding the rights to broadcast the game in Australia, so it should be on there for free.

    *Official* Road to 2022 World Cup

    If it'll be anywhere, Paramount Plus had the rights to the Concacaf qualifiers so I'm guessing it'd end up there or on Ten.

    ***Official English Football Season 2021/22***

    Same applies to hockey or water polo, but they both have the outfield players retake rather than putting the keepers on the spot.

    ***Official English Football Season 2021/22***

    It may not be the hardest task in the world, but why make the players who spend 99% of their training time to stop the ball entering the net have a go at putting it in? Just feels unfair on the players themselves to change their roles in the contest.

    ***Official English Football Season 2021/22***

    Yeah, I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with the current system. But the idea that teams can lose an important game because their goalkeeper can't take a penalty was part of the reason behind it. Stemmed from some talk about the systems in similar situations for ice hockey, where...
