A Touch Of Class

I'm quite irritated with myself for not finding a way to access the on-going Women's World Cup live. Following it in the papers, at a bit of a distance, and some of the highlights that get to youtube, it's been a classy competition. I'd love to watch the semi between England and the USA, but will have to settle for waking up to find out the result. It'll be quite something if the women outdo the men's team in terms of progress in the big tournament - and the signs are they could pull it off, despite the strength of the USA. If they manage to do so it'll make up just a little bit - but not enough - for the on-going national humiliation known as Brexit.

Postscript: So now we know it wasn't to be. Again. But we can be proud of the team in defeat. (Though I would have preferred to be proud of them in victory.)
