FIFA Women's World Cup 2023

Beyond Greatness. Really? I await the first game where there are two sides equally matched who demonstrate a capacity to attack, create and defend with a skill that prevents you from thinking Four in a Bed is better viewing.

New Zealand v Norway kicks off and I have to say that I have a vague idea of that ourJulie plays for Norway and our once-upon-a-time Betsy Hassett once played for New Zealand.

I shall make an effort to keep tuned in till HT.

Jeez, Betsy\s started!

Off work this week so watching this at the moment. Blakstad has had some nice touches but also been caught a few times. Kiwi goalie looks a bit dodgy.

I like Hegerberg. She's got that striker mentality.

Ah, there's an interesting stat - Possession is thirty odd for each team and a chunk where it's NOT CONTESTED, which amounts to the ball being kicked anywhere!

It does feel that way!

Neither team can string three passes together. It's falling a little short of BEYOND GREATNESS!

Yes a little disappointing to say the least.

What is that shite? Forced Turnovers? WTF are they?

I've heard of apple turnovers.
