Harriers Chatter

Anyone taking an interest?

China/Canada was a decent opening game IMHO

Nope

Yep, will be a good tournament. Looking forward to England against France on Tuesday.

Have Harriers got a women's team? Women's football is going from strength to strength.

I'm washing my hair.

about 18 years ago Harriers Ladies played in the second tier of woman's football. Not sure what happened to the team after that.

They played their FA Cup games at Aggboro- I seem to recall we beat somebody in the early 1990s ( Derby C. ?) 11-0 with our top striker at the time (forget her name) getting 6 or 7.

Julie Freeman?

Julie Freeman?

That's the lady!
A very good player IIRC....Kim Casey-esque in her finishing.

Surprised no one has started a thread on this yet so I thought I would start one. So far I have watched all the England games including the win over Canada last night. If only the England men's teams both full and U21 showed the same fight, determination and pride in their shirts as the women maybe we might win something . Its about time the overpaid-lazy so called superstars pulled their collective fingers out including the management team.

So come ladies win the world cup something the men are unlikely to do in the foreseeable future.

Funnily enough jonkers I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning.
There is certainly far more passion and pride in the women's game and it makes a refreshing change to see.

If only the men's game showed the same instead of the overpaid prima donnas we see week in week out on an overpriced SKY package. I guess that what you get though when huge amounts of money enter the game.

Not the first time that women have shown men how things should be done!

Totally agree with your comments: what a great performance, gritty, resolute second half which puts the men's game to shame.
Might start to stop the condescending and snide comments from the usual media pundits.

Late night party sorted for Wednesday night, Bring on the Japanese!!

well said

Very Very unlucky out played Japan, thought both penalties were iffy. Poor standard of referees ( we are used to this ) The ladies did us proud.
