What no thread? Let it not be said that Sotonians are not interested. France off to great start last night with a 4-0 win against South Korea, now watching the Chinese defend against the Germans… Thankfully no Sepp Blatter to come out with a load of sexist shit. ---

25 mins ### GOAL - Spain 0-1 South Africa Thembi Kgatlana WOW! Thembi Kgatlana, the 23-year-old who won the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot at the Africa Cup of Nations last year, has just chipped the Spanish keeper from about 25 yards out. She steps onto her right then curls it into the corner and Sandra Panos is scrambling and doesn’t make it. Banyana Banyana are on cloud nine! What an incredible moment. ---

Matildas play the Eye-talians today/tonight depending on where you have your derriere. Here’s hoping the Aussie ladies are closer to the mark than their male counterparts! ---

I watched the 2nd half. It was not frap. I was surprised. Not seen any Womens football since USA v Brazil in a WC game ages ago. Technically good, decision making a bit iffy, put me in mind of being better quality if less physical than the Newport Tranmere Conference Play off semi final (sans shithousery) May stream some more ---

I am struggling to even summon up the energy to not give a shit, and I’m not sure why. Maybe watching some of the women’s premier league equivalent put me off - the match I watched was pretty poor and tbf I get to watch enough crap footie at SMS without adding to it. If I wanted to watch more football I would probably go and watch Eastleigh or Brockenhurst or another local lower league team But hey fair play, 6.1m viewers. Maybe that will help the TV sponsorship and start to equalise the prize funds which were being complained about last week ---
