Why couldn't it have been like that female interviewer in the men's (I think NFL) changing room Edit: On a serious note, great to see the camaraderie and love for each other the team have.

I did my duty making sure that my Spanish born 6-yr-old supports town over any of the clubs in our Madrid region. However yesterday he announced that he will be supporting Spain on Sunday. π

No problem with the Spain part but making them into Town supporters is just cruel! π€£π€£

βNah, by the noises Iβve been hearing it sounds like heβs coming through his latest bout of constipation, so best not interrupt himββ¦

i see Beckham is inm trouble for calling them girls. Always some card offended. Anyone offended or calling sexism needs to watch EVERY SINGLE interview with the players and coaches of the teams. Invariably they say "the girls played well" or other phrases/cliches. Is it just as offensive when Emma Hayes calls them boys on MOTD? Some people are just offended for offended's sake.

Popped in the local bar yesterday. England and Spain flags above the doors. Watched the other games at home but the missus wants to watch the final in the bar. Apparently it was packed for the 2 semis so will get there before 10 and we can have a drink. Saw on the news this morning that some bars in the UK will not be able to serve alcohol until 11. FFS are the police really going to prosecute bar owners for serving a few beers an hour before they should during a World Cup Final involving England?
I don't actually recognise the missus now. She was working when Spain played Sweden. She watched the entire game on iplayer last night - what a saddo!
She said this morning that she cannot wait until the final and feels excited and nervous at the same time. I told her 'It's only a stupid football match'
Bless her. We were out with some Irish and Scottish friends yesterday afternoon. She asked them if they coming out to watch the game and support England and was surprised that they will be supporting Spain.

That's standard on a Sunday, has been for donkeys. Pubs can apply to local councils for temporary licenses for this sort of occasion to serve booze before 11, but they'd have to have applied on the day of the semi-final. The government has the power to change the rules for a day at a national level - like they did for the Jubilee - but it has to go through both houses, and they're not in session. To be fair to the Government (I feel dirty), they've asked councils to try and speed up the process this weekend due to how momentous it is. No idea about enforcement, but the police are quite literally a law unto themselves.

Pubs should just put food on if they want to serve alcohol while they've got the game on. 94/95 playoff final seeing people stood outside boozers at 6.30am with a pint in one hand and a bacon butty in t'other was brilliant. Pissed up before Leicester Services, lightweights trying to sleep

In my first year living here I was walking to my local bar at about 7:30PM. There were about half a dozen police cars and a couple of Guardia Civil vans parked outside the bar. is going on? Walked in the bar and all the police were sat at tables. 'What's going on' I asked the bar owner. 'Real Madrid are playing Barcelona on the TV'. 'Hope their boss doesn't find out' The bar owner pointed to a grey haired copper sat at one of the tables 'That's the chief of police' !

Should've bought him a cerveza - always good to have amigos in high places - just in case! Back on topic - absolutely stoked for Sunday, can't wait. I just don't have the same sense of dread as I do with the men's team - e.g. I go into penalty shoot-outs hopeful, as opposed to resigned to yet more disappointment. Bring it on.

Indeed. There seem to be differences in emphasis in the coverage from different countries. tbh, it's just as bad with SKy, BBC and ITV...it's like the game controllers are in some sort of competition on how many different camera angles they can show during a break in play....and it's the predictable routine of it..8 angles of the incident, then a close up of one manager, then the other, then some fans, then the player involved... You can see i've got wound up over this can't you...Once upon a time live play was sacrosanct but now it's almost like they only want to show the actions bits and fill in the less exciting parts with some random camera shots ...for me it breaks the continuity when, for example it's dead ball kick...but the cameras come back to live action when it's a throw in at the opposite end of the pitch...... !! Truly. Show the ball in play you blighters....

The likelihood is that you are going to hear the comparison over and over again in the next few days if you watch, or listen to much sports news. Lazy and hackneyed stuff from the journos and pundits will abound. Anyway, you missed the Rugby League World Cup from your list. There is little point, however, comparing Clive Sullivan to Georgia Wilson... What comparison ? They aren't comparing anything, this is the first time an England football team has qualified for a World Cup Final since 1966. That's a fact. I really don't know why so many get their knickers in a twist over it π Keep working on it.

Some of the replies! Suggesting that Halifax travel up the night before and stay over, meaning that they wouldn't have to set off so early on the Sunday morning. Funny how a massive influx of cash into one club means that their fans have absolute no idea of the financial constraints of another.

Ultimately, the league should have just cancelled the fixture and avoided this scenario rather than allowing a postponement should both teams agree. Or better, realised the Women's World Cup final is on Sunday 20th where there would be a pretty good chance that the reigning European Champs would make it, or that some players might want to watch the showpiece match regardless of which nation got there, and not arrange fixtures on that date in the first place.
Newcastle are a now a fully professional outfit so it's very reasonable to expect them to fulfil a home fixture that they would have been preparing for for weeks, where around 2,000 fans would be present, and while there obviously is a big gap between some of the teams in the league, it is the third tier of English football, both will be among the best 25-35 teams in the country, not some 11.30am hungover Sunday League or IntraMural Uni kick about that can easily be shifted without a moments thought.
The match obviously isn't happening, and I'd imagine it will eventually be rearranged and played out as Newcastle will generally be portrayed as the big, bad Saudi's throwing their weight and money around and lacking compassion, and it is a bit of an unfortunate situation because it obviously is a big occasion, especially for females, but if one team can't, or won't, fulfil their scheduled fixture, that the league hasn't itself cancelled, then it really should be 3-0 walkover.
