For some reason Hope Solo, the American goalie and captain looks quite shaggable on the pitch but is very dodgy looking when dressed normally.

I've just watched a bit of the women's football.

How can the standard of women's football still be so shite?!  Women have been playing football for decades now and the physical aspect of the game is becoming less of a factor so why the hell is it so bad?  I've played in Sunday teams better than what I've witnessed on telly.

It just makes no sense.

I've seen the highlights - Britain had more chances in that game than the Villa had before Christmas last year and it was nil-nil at half time!

They only scored when the NZ keeper set a wall up for a freekick and then stood behind it so she couldn't see anything.

It's horrible!

I suspect that Kim Jong-Un is too busy with his new bride





Normally, I'd say that he was punching well above his weight, but face it, she could hardly say no, could she !

Womens football has improved but the keepers are always chronic.

The BBC Sport Olympic website is appalling.  All I wanted to do is find out the latest score in the Spain v Japan game and you can't do it without having to open live coverage.

Did Japan beat Spain 1-0?

I'm at work and checking it occasionally, but missed the end and as mentioned, trying to find the score is for some reason near impossible.

Every time I switched on, Japan were missing sitters.

Local news showing it was chaos at St James Park today. Massive queues of people attempting to collect tickets they had bought online months ago , there were 60 Mexicans who waited 3 hours and saw the last 20 minutes of the game. The ticket office opened nearly an hour late and when the match kicked off there were hundreds still queuing.
