I am not interested in football really, but happened to see a match in the last Women's Euro & was quite impressed with their skills & determination.
None of the male dying swan acts...they usually take a hit & get up & carry on without any complaint.
"... the male dying swan acts" LOL. The Italians have been heavily criticised for this since the 70s. Especially in the Annual, All-Priests, Five-a-Side, Over-75's Indoor Challenge football match.
