had to cap ticket sales at 55,000 because of safety issues around engineering works on the London Underground.
They could have explained the cap much more in depth.
How much are these fans paying to watch this gumph? If it is anywhere close to the money paid to watch the men's England versus Norway game then a comparison between the sports can be made. Until then the comparison is ridiculous.
Do the female “football” teams have male cheerleaders / S
On what will be the women’s team’s first appearance at the new stadium, a record crowd of 55,000 will see them take on the European champions.
Playing a mens team are they?
That's a bit cheeky, inasmuch as Japan won the last World Cup, beating the U.S., and the U.S. won the last Olympics, beating Japan. Germany is universally acknowledged as one of the elite teams, the best in Europe, and Germany could easily win next year. But the U.S. and Japan can say the same, and a couple of others are close.
The U.S. team is faced with the eternal problem of long-time dominant teams: how do you rebuild while staying on top? They have a number of players over 30 who still produce, but should they go with youth and speed? The Abby Wambach question at forward is huge. The team's style changes completely when she is on the field. You never know which team will show up in any given game. Not a good situation, but Abby keeps scoring goals, so it's a hard call.
Things went from bad to worse for a shell-shocked England...
The good news is that the England Women could beat Liverpool....BWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!
... We have to be better, go away and come back, fitter, faster, stronger."
