....Amber and I are playing football on the beach today... :blink:

 

I understand that girls playing football (soccer) is taken pretty seriously in the States. At least more seriouly than over here. The England girls' team has just reached the Final of the European Championships, which is better than the men have ever done, but unfortunately they suffered the same fate as the men since 1966, and lost to Germany. I wonder whether interest from football fans and the media would have increased if England had won.

 

It's pointless comparing girls' with mens' football. on a professional basis Even though the England girls' team is the country's most consistently successful football team, its manager and 16 players are on Football Association central contracts of only £16,000 a year. The F.A.'s £3 million pay-off of Sven-Goran Eriksson as England coach could have funded central contracts for a decade.

 

France has the same problem of the girls' game not capturing the media's and mens' attention So the French Football Federation has launched a new campaign featuring naked girl players in an attempt to generate more interest - this has been given a 'Pink Card' by the media.

I was wondering whether it was this that gave Amber the idea for her OWTB user name? :unsure:

This thread has been the most exciting thing for some fans since drooling over videos of a Spanish medical student from Oviedo, who became the Latics legend that never was.

Or since before MM started taking his medication?

Peehaps they believe that they fit into the girls' self-confessed attactive categories i.e., " a sly smile and charmingly suave demeanor" or "a cute little bald one". :grin:

In London for Sky TV and then flying to Manchester, with a fast car to Boundary Park for the Exeter game?

 

OR modelling the kit on the pitch at BP?

 

Ohh yeah -- we were told it was only filmed on Saturday. Hopefully it's filmed in the morning? Early...early morning? x

If you can't make it to Oldham in time for the Exeter game, is the party at the White Hart still on for Saturday evening?

 

We're definitely going to make it to the Oldham game, even if it means not being on Sky -- Latics are the reason for our trip, not to be on television. xx
