Out Playing With The Big Girls


Do you remember a few days ago I mentioned I had been invited to a round-table discussion with some other lady football bloggers?

Well we got together earlier in the week (virtually of course) and did that thing.

Talk about being out with the big girls! Some of them really do know their stuff. Left me standing to some extent. It was fun though and you can see the results of it here and here.

Now that the tournament has actually kicked off, I've already changed my views about some of the teams. Croatia's performance earlier was disappointing after the first 20 minutes of so I thought. And Austria, bless 'em, did the best they could with what they had.

Half way through the Poland/Germany match and it looks as if Herr Low's lot are heading for victory. A shame because I was expecting more of Poland.

Anyway there have been a few other highlights. I mean that Croatian coach - he's a bit of a dude isn't he? (if a little bit scary) Apparently he sings in a band in his spare time. Shake, rattle and roll!

And Michael Ballack. I'd forgotten what a hunk he is.

Talking of licking my lips, I'm off to nibble on some cheese and biscuits and watch the second half.

He used to play for West Ham and Everton back in the 90's GB.
