Just had newsflash.....

'England play San Marino in World Cup qualifier - Southgate says he will take them seriously....'

If it is all about winning & playing mismatched fixtures, why dont we host a 'Tournament of Islands' - lets play The (mighty) Scillies, Isle Of Man, Anglesey, Shetlands & Hebrides etc. Make it home & away 'just in case'.

In case you cannot tell, am totally sick of international football....& the next World Cup will have 36 countries.....WHY! Reduce it to no more than 8 & make it meaningful,,,,Please!!!!

women's football is all very pc and all that, is being pushed by the FA but in reality it really isn't very good compared to the men's game, hence the little actual interest in people going to watch it.
I watched yesterdays game and it confirmed my initial thoughts… it’s utterly woeful.

Men's football has been developed for over 100 years.

Women's football has been going for how long? Give them a chance, they have to start somewhere.

The more interest by the television companies, the more interest there will be in the numbers wanting to play, and therefore the standards will then improve, just like the men's game has improved over time.

Match of the Day wastes far too much time on things that are not remotely highlights - taking the knee, managers chewing gum on the sidelines, meaningless interviews with players and managers who tell us the party line. Then they review the match with their pundits and we see glimpses of play that they didn't show during the highlights!
Meanwhile, local TV news and Sky tell us the result before they show us the goals!

Agree. Match of the day punditry is also rarely Illuminating. You could argue that every goal ever scored could have been prevented had the right defender been in the right place at the right time, yet pundits seem to enjoy membership of John Cleese’s ‘college of the bleeding obvious’.

If I was a MOTD producer I would swap pundits for some of the brighter fans who attended the match, and can often provide far more interesting insights into what’s happening with their team.

Fans rarely understand the game better than former players. Vaguely remember them trying it on C. 5 highlights. Was embarrassing. Re the the latter they need to stop sitting on the fence. Bit like on here for a few. Afraid to say anything against the grain.
