Their team spirit was amazing right through to their wonderful celebrations after the match. Even during the match their enthusiasm shone through. Who will forget what will be an iconic moment when Chloe Kelly after scorng the winning goal, pulled off her shirt and led most of the country into ecstatic celebration.
Was she really saying... look, take notice, we have arrived, the shackles are off and womens football really has come home. We also won't forget how in her post match interview on the pitch she excitedly ran off with the microphone leaving her interviewer completely speechless. Or how during the studio interview of the manager the entire team appeared on screen dancing in wild celebration aound and on the long table in front of the manager. Yes, they even showed the men how celebrations can be taken to another level, the kind of celebrations not seen since the impish Nobby Stiles danced around the Wembley pitch with the Jules Rimet Trophy in one hand and his false teeth in the other in 1966.
Even some of the goals they scored during the tournament were up there with the best. The exquisite defence splitting pass for opening goal in the final had the stamp of Beckham all over it, then the inch perfect lob over the keeper was reminiscent of Cantona at his best. Even in the last five minutes they gave a master class of how to keep possesion and frustrate the opposition, which was clearly shown on the German's' faces.
They did themselves and their manager proud, that's for sure.
You seem find it difficult to interact in a normal way. Let me explain slowly for you. I took part in a football contest in the USA representing an world international team against an all American team......this was the mens team. We hammered them The womens international team played the womens USA team. The USA team slaughtered the international team. Womens football was really popular then and that was in 2001. Since then it's grown massively, the women footballers in the States are way ahead of the rest of the world....for now.
More nonsense spoken out of ignorance. I've played football in the USA and witnessed just how popular the womens game is over there. What experience of football in the USA do you have? Have you competed out there, have you experienced the womens game out there?
I've watched a few games and really enjoyed them. The semi final was as good an England game as I've seen. What impressed me most was the total lack of players writhing around in agony after a coming together.
Laughter yoga (or therapy if you want to call it that) os one of those things you can't really judge until you've experienced it. I was very sceptical about it and only really went to satisfy a friend who had arranged it. It was over a weekend and I said I would just go on the Saturday, but it felt so good I attended both days. On the second day some of the time was spent learning about the positive benefits of laughter and I was totally amazed at how far reaching these benefits can be. I've since found out that the body can't tell the difference between false laughter, (not that the laughter remained false or forced for long) and genuine laughter, so the benefits, particularly the physical ones ( of which there are many) happen whether the laughter is genuine or not. So, of you want to feel better, go look in a mirror, point at yourself and laugh as loud and for as long as you can.
Yes, went to a laughter yoga weekend a few years ago, I can really recommend it. My stomach muscles were sore for a couple of days afterwards from so much laughing. I've been to a couple of similar sessions since which were good also but not so well attended as the first one. It seems the more people that are there, the more the laughter flows. There were about 150 attended the weekend one. And yes, it really did make me feel so much better.
Take away the distraction of covid and Ukraine and the real damaging effects of brexit will become clear and undeniable. It was a colossal blunder of epic proportions. But what can you expect when Joe Public is given the (apparent) chance to put the boot into Johnny Foreigner.
Sorry but youre well out of the loop. Also badly informed.....
The planets and moons that are claimed to be warming total roughly eight out of dozens of large bodies in the solar system. Some, like Uranus, may be cooling. All the outer planets have vastly longer orbital periods than Earth, so any climate change on them may be seasonal. Saturn and its moons take 30 Earth years to orbit the Sun, so three decades of observations equates to only 1 Saturnian year. Uranus has an 84-year orbit and 98° axial tilt, so its seasons are extreme. Neptune has not yet completed a single orbit since its discovery in 1846.
This is a round-up of the planets said by sceptics to be experiencing climate change:
Mars: the notion that Mars is warming came from an unfortunate conflation of weather and climate. Based on two pictures taken 22 years apart, assumptions were made that have not proved to be reliable. There is currently no evidence to support claims that Mars is warming at all. More on Mars… Jupiter: the notion that Jupiter is warming is actually based on predictions, since no warming has actually been observed. Climate models predict temperature increases along the equator and cooling at the poles. It is believed these changes will be catalysed by storms that merge into one super-storm, inhibiting the planet’s ability to mix heat. Sceptical arguments have ignored the fact this is not a phenomenon we have observed, and that the modelled forcing is storm and dust movements, not changes in solar radiation. Neptune: observations of changes in luminosity on the surface of both Neptune and its largest moon, Triton, have been taken to indicate warming caused by increasedsolar activity. In fact, the brightening is due to the planet’s seasons changing, but very slowly. Summer is coming to Neptune’s southern hemisphere, bringing more sunlight, as it does every 164 years. Pluto: the warming exhibited by Pluto is not really understood. Pluto’s seasons are the least understood of all: its existence has only been known for a third of its 248 -year orbit, and it has never been visited by a space probe. The ‘evidence’ for climatechange consists of just two observations made in 1988 and 2002. That’s equivalent to observing the Earth’s weather for just three weeks out of the year. Various theories suggest its highly elliptical orbit may play a part, as could the large angle of its rotational axis. One recent paper suggests the length of Pluto’s orbit is a key factor, as with Neptune. Sunlight at Pluto is 900 times weaker than it is at the Earth.
Claims that solar system bodies are heating up due to increased solar activity are clearly wrong. The sun’s output has declined in recent decades. Only Pluto and Neptune are exhibiting increased brightness. Heating attributed to other solar bodies remains unproven.
Of course climate goes through changes, but it's the rate of change that's the cause for concern. All around the globe the story is the same, in climate sensitive areas the increase in warming is alarming and undeniable. Recent reports from the Himalaya show drastic glacier reduction, many climbers have reported in the course of a few years glaciers have retreated back to heights never previously recorded. The worrying part is it's air temperature not rainfall that's the cause of glacial reduction, a previously unheard of phenomenon.
Even back in the 90's I witnessed first hand the melting of Himalayan glaciers. In fact in one instance while crossing a high mountain pass from the Chitral region to Swat progress was extremely slow due to the route being completey free of ice, leaving a route of loose boulders and muddy morain, our ice axes and crampons being rendered useless. Our porters told us this was the first year the pass had been completely frre of snow and ice. I'm reliably informed the route is still snow and ice free.
On an earlier journey to Tirich Mir base camp crossing the Tirich Glacier was a frightening experience due to the instability of the ice. Sleeping on the edge of the glacier the rumblings and loud cracks were testement to the the rapid deterioration of what was a one mile across body of ice, again I'm told the Tirich glacier has shrunk to half the size it was since I was there. Tirich Mir (Main) 7,708m/25,288ft.
The story is the same in so many parts of the world. Global warming is a fact, very few people are not accepting that. What is open to question though......is it caused by the burning of fossil fuel, or is there some other reason for this sudden dramatic change in our climate sensitive parts of the world?
