Describe it to me.

What I'm hearing is both the BBC and ITV wanted the game, and would have paid good money for it too, but the ladies said no thanks FFS! They said they didn't want Lee Dixon nor Andy Townsend, nor 'take a bow daughter' Andy Gray, ogling their asses and talking crap about them at half-time and then after the game. How sassy FFS! Ladies! Mes Amis!

So the long and the short of it is that the game will be on neither the BBC nor ITV.

In fact, I'm struggling to find a TV channel that is showing the game. Eurosport is not, which is a sad indictment of that channel; and I can't even find a Swedish channel which is showing it. The game was scheduled for last week, but cancelled owing to volcanic activity, so maybe that explains why it is being overlooked.

MyP2P.eu suggests that a stream will be available come kick-off, from the Swedish broadcaster SVT (which is not listing the game on any of its channels, but nevertheless). I will update should the situation change.

I didn't get to watch the game, nor did I get to listen to it on the radio (and I support debaser's motion here in its entirety - he should write a letter - and should the Conservatives win power in the forthcoming election, with our two votes we should be well on our way towards a referendum that will ultimately punish those responsible for depriving us), but I did follow it ardently via UEFA live score text updates.

The game finished 0-0. Not much happened. In the first half, one player thrust out her arm towards an opponent's face and it looked like she struck her - but it turned out that a comb was in said player's hand, and she was simply attempting to brush the auburn locks of her opposite number! At the end of proceedings, the players shook hands, embraced, lapped the pitch together in a display of mutual feminine honour; flowers spouted from the Gammliavallen's rafters and lay across the pitch; whilst the team managers sat side by side, cross-legged on the touchline, and reminisced over what they had seen, and revelled in what is still to come. It was like I felt deeply and vicariously the gentleness of the occasion, the beauty of two groups of people coming together and enjoying each other's company - in both victory and in defeat.
