I thought Walsh has been OK, Bronze has been mostly poor, did Parris come out, we might as well be playing with 10, Bright has been terrible.

I agree when she’s in possession. It’s when USA are in possession she lacks a bit of pace.

Basketball maybe physical but it's still less of a contact sport though as far as the rules go(as I understand them), Baseball definitely is, pitchside brawls are nothing to do with it. We have those in football, they'll have seen South American atmospheres more than we have and it gets way more aggressive than any baseball game in some of those games. I can see a large amount of them are macho and need their violence but those two sports would not be as popular as they are if it was the main reason Soccer isn't as popular.

Maybe there is a macho element to the reasons for it, in that the women seem to have claimed it as a female sport, where it's been a man's game in the rest of the world for as long as it's existed.

I hear comparisons of Cricket to Baseball but all I would tell you is that there is a lot more physical contact in the game - I played throughout my adolescence into high school. Same for basketball, rules allow for contact but if you thought FIFA/UEFA officiating was poor, basketball officiating is not far off from WWF in terms of refereeing theatrics & agendas. NBA was my favorite pastime to watch prior to football but I couldn't stomach the officiating any longer - it's not a sport anymore, just a media event
