Not so much what she did or said, just the cringy charade she clearly agreed to take part in

A blackboard with noughts and crosses, some chalk, and a kitchen bench.

Poor buggers!

The only player I felt sorry for Semenyo every time he passed the ball to his colleagues expecting the ball back, instead the ball was dispatched in row z hence big shake of the head from him, intimating what the hell am I doing here?

I thought the actual insight/commentary she provided was interesting and good - much more so than usual punditry. My problem was that they had a woman providing this segment but put her in a set by herself which looked like a kitchen. How no one picked up on the absurdity of that in this context was bizarre.

Yeah Emma Hayes is one of the better pundits, I am really not sure what that chalkboard thing was mind.

I assume her being the only actual decent coach amongst them, (soz Gary and Roy) they got her to do it but I it’s sad to see her wasted on that. After all she was good with Jobi McAnuff for the game after and its hard to find much to say about that.

They still speak from a player’s perspective. A dimwitted player. I’m not sure if they do it deliberately or not to pander to the Ingerland audience.

Yeah, they do tend to go overboard on Scotland.

England winning has really pissed off a few people on here. Long may it continue.

At least give her a frigging interactive board and a top-down view, “The Coaches’ View” style.

A story broke yesterday about the Ivorian striker being investigating over match faxing for his club in France and now he’s been denied entry into France for their next game.

It would be really unfortunate for them if it was another guy
