No one has wasted any time in establishing their agenda at this Soccer World Cup,whether on or off the field.
Which apparently is a sin in the genteel land of Canada. In what reads like a self-parody, former players Clare Rustad and Kaylyn Kyle declared how disgusted they were that their neighbours would dare to crack a smile en route to those shiny records. For shock host Piers Morgan, having women commenting on games at all was where the real offence began. He put on a straight face, looked into the camera and said that an all-female panel of pundits was sexist. There’s nothing wrong with pointing that out, he said, because Jamie Vardy’s wife had said it first.France could hardly have put in a more impressive display themselves.
Ranting aside, the considered promotion of Phil Neville’s side has paid off in spades. The BBC reported that millions more viewers watched this match compared to the national team over in the Cricket World Cup. If there was ever any doubt that football is the people’s game…Elsewhere the play has been much in keeping with the status quo. Germany are imperious; Brazil are slick.
Nigeria is not in the Southern Hemisphere.
