Not too much violence in the women's game, on or off the pitch.

Maybe the difference with the Americans is they tend not to get too interested in sports events where they aren't too likely to win. The English on the other hand get passionately interested and persuade themselves they are going to win, and then get all upset.

I hope getting beaten like that by Brazil doesn't set back Women's Association Football in America too much. I gather it wasn't as much of a walkover as that score suggests.

So the first half of my prediction was right...
