The flip side of the corner argument would be that out movement in the penalty area was terrible

The women's game needs to separate itself from the men's and become self sufficient for it to grow naturally and provide stability. They were basically handed a top level stadium and state of the art training facilities while also taking finances away from the side we all grew up supporting because it became trendy to have a women's team. It wasn't how the men's game grew all those hundreds of years ago and it took our club 100+ years to have the facilities that we have today. It feels like the women's game ran before it could walk and it just hasn't generated the interest that the all knowing Semmens thought it would.

No, since Brexit our GDP is 6% lower. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg75npqkq4o https://ukandeu.ac.uk/brexits-impact-on-the-uk-economy/ https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/jun/14/how-uk-economy-changed-since-brexit-vote-charts https://www.gspublishing.com/content/research/en/reports/2026/06/24/487d9f10-f31c-4e8d-ac71-b248ce8a8aaf.html Etc, etc, etc

He’s not as ‘past it’ as those two…

His 1-on-1 miss was sensational at this level, that is for sure.

So you’re saying our GDP would be 6% higher. Since Brexit we have grown more than 1% more than Germany, do you honestly think we would have grown >7% more than Germany? The figures I think you are referring to have been debunked because they compare us to US who had huge growth in part due to fracking, take them out of the equation and the figure halves. Even then the figures are just an estimate, nobody really knows.

We don't need anybody at the moment until Charles decides where his future lies Chez: Not sure JWP can be described as a journeyman. Chat GTP: Competent, reliable and experienced but not considered exceptional or at the top of their field.

The wanking off over Messi is ridiculous. Yes he is an amazing player but not every time he touches the ball is it amazing. his goal last night was described as “absolutely sensational” ffs. It was the sort of goal you’d expect any competent striker to score, move off the defender, one touch slot it home.

It’s the limbs that add to this

His legs have probably gone a bit in recent years. All that said he’d still be a decent player to have in the Championship. I genuinely wouldn’t have him on corners though, they were always terrible.

Losing £2M We are a men’s football team, not a bloody sports & social club.

Not sure JWP can be described as a journeyman. He's hardly bounced around many clubs. He has his limitations, and whether you get value for money will depend on the deal you sign with west ham, but like Charles, he has the first touch to play at the top level.

Losing £2M or investing £2M for the future of Saints football ? One players wages not worth it ? Whole teams and coaching staff cast aside for what ? A sad day for Saints , as if their current reputation wasn't bad enough .

The club should keep losing 2 million quid year after year after because my daughter is not the great progressive argument you think it is. Such a one dimensional view.

Match of the tournament and goal of the tournament so far for me. Shame Cape Verde couldn't take it to pens but it wasn't for lack of trying right to the very end, genuinely could have gone either way.

That game just took years off my life. Can't remember an African nation causing a sensation in world cups like that since back at school with Cameroon in 1990. Cape Verde, seriously what the fuck. Four games unbeaten over 90 minutes and held both European champions and World Cup winners to draws in those along the way. Its absurd as much as it is sensational. I'm going to watch the hour repeat on itv plus 1 now to relive what just took place and hope it doesn't interfere with work in a few hours. That was historic but for whatever reason it left me a nervous wreck by the end. Those that went to bed early irrespective of fan base or team support missed an epic they'll maybe regret forever. That was incredible, obviously part of a large number that imagined Argentina would walk it and hit 6 or 7 to reach the next round. Cape verde are for real, not sure in 4 years from now they could ever hope to match what they've just done but they've scared people as much as they are able to excite. I wonder how far they could have gone further tonight if they'd actually got through.

Absolute pleasure to watch that game. CV can walk away with their heads held high and in the knowledge that there are few teams that could have come away with that result. CV’s no.13 LB and keeper (at 40) are great players.

Hats off. Superb effort.

Only 3 minutes added on and ref couldn't wait to blow the full time whistle. Corrupt bastards.

Gone. But what a tournament for them.

What a match!

Why can't England fans just appreciate that we have Djed Spence and Jordan Henderson?

Ow balls.

Even with time ticking down they're still trying.
