If their friendly form is any indicator, Bayern don`t really need Harry Kane. :blast:

Maybe they'll wait for Lewandowski to come back. It's all just too much work at Barcelona.   :moon:

You don`t think Lewy is planning a return to his hometown club for a couple of wind-down seasons?

Maybe he'll join the senior circuit in MLS, too!

Might as well. They're already talking about stripping him of the captaincy after the Moldova debacle.   :bitchslap:

Look out USA, the Saudi`s are after the world`s over 35`s. They mean - well I wouldn`t call it business in the conventional sense, exactly - but they`re certainly taking sports-washing very seriously.

And how about UEFA thinking about giving Saudi Arabia wild cards for the Champions League.  :facepalm:

So who's pumped for the Women's World Cup! The skill! The drama! The glory! The bouncing ponytails and braids!

 

I just hope if the US pummels Vietnam 13-0, they don't act they've done something extraordinary. Just carry on, would you?

 

For me, game times range from 9pm to 3am, so . . . maybe some next day replays in my future.

I prefer the volleyball girls, much prettier.

I caught YouTube highlights of the Aussie-Ireland and NZ-Norway matches.  Entertaining enough.  Of course, I've followed the discussion of prize money disparity and continue to be amused by a refusal to acknowledge viewership, rather than sexism, as a driving factor.  Having this Cup in a problematic time zone ain't helping things, either

So true. All of it.

While not wanting to contradict your causality, exactly, it is also possible to believe that sexism drives the lower viewership; they don't have to be separate causes.

All you need is for wives to drag their husbands to women's games instead of the opera.   :fistbump:

True.  

 

Of yesterday's highlights I thought the 0-0 Canada - Nigeria match was  excellent.  Spain was too much for Costa Rica, who fell behind early on a quirky own goal that was quickly followed by two other Spanish goals.  Phillipines fell victim to a dodgy PK call.

Little lesbian spat after the Australia-Ireland game. The two ex-lovers did not shake hands at the end of the match. Btw, I'll be the SOCN reporter for this tournament.  :wave:

Poland - USA in the volleyball Nations League final tomorrow. Must watch TV.  :drool:  

This Polish team is ridiculously deep.   :notworthy:
