Anyway here's a bit more sense;


Toni Duggan: ‘I believe we should be better paid, but not the same as the men’

“Should we be doing it? No. Because we don’t bring in the money that the men do – we’re not as successful as them yet. They bring in a lot more money than us commercially and are more successful. When people ask me: ‘Should I earn the same money as the men?’ No, I don’t believe I should because they’re on a bigger scale than me, they have more fans, are more popular. I believe the girls should be better paid but not the same as the men.”

What kind of person says “I don’t deserve more money”...?!

I will never make somebody else’s case for them to pay me less!

But that aside this is annoying. Not because of the comment on pay (which is fairly benign and honest) but because she has juxtaposed “men” with “girls”. I hate it.

Well, yes, but then it works the other way too.

I struggle to see pre-pubsecent female Russian gymnasts as "women" when they probably have about three pubic hairs between them.

If you think a woman must have pubic hair to be considered an adult woman you would be very confused if you lived in Australia.

Also by definition I think “pre-pubescent” women are actually girls...

Only 10 minutes into the first match, but France are looking sh*t-hot here. No surprise that they're tournament favourites.

[voice]

and their footy's not bad either....

[perrykneeham]

How many balls are there on the pitch?

[mids]

England 2-1 Scotland. Quite entertaining.

[perrykneeham]

Is that two Kleenexes to one?

[mids]

Hahahaha. No, two episodes of crying vs. one.

[flatandy]

Rain stopped play in Chile vs Sweden. How odd.

(I think, to be fair, it's actually lightning risk).

Weather is absolutely chucking it down.

[voice]

can't say I've seen too many games called off cos of rain, snow and fog have caused some over the years, but rain?

[mids]

It would ruin their hair. Can't have that.

[voice]

tbf I've seen more male players caring about their hair over the years.

[flatandy]

Not called off. Temporarily suspended because of the risk of getting struck by lightning.

Fox Sports are being nauseating in their monomaniacal focus on the US team. It's enough to make me fail the Tebbit Test.

[flatandy]

Sweden finally score. About time. They've been utterly dominant except in that stretch where rain took them off the pitch.

USA 13 Thailand 0, one player got 5 goals, must be desperate for golden boot that one.

[Minge är en jävla besserwisser]

I started watching it but it was too dreadful.

They did great!!! What a team,,

[moggyonspeed]

Awww ... your magnanimity toward the Thai team is truly touching there, jim.

[jimboky]

When I play checkers with a 6yo kid I always find a way to let them win, when I play the same kid at 12 I kick their arse,, if I can,,,, Is it better to treat the Thai Team like they are 6 or 12??
