i'm trying but I know if I saw the men's team giving away the ball so much in a KO game I'd be doing my nut by now

Some players for sue.

Bright and Duggan are especially poor passers and always giving the ball away.

Bronze and Scott are excellent.

This is the first game I've watched. Technically it's not bad. Just not the speed and intensity of the mens game. The finishing is poor too.

For me that wasn’t handball BUT under the barmy new rules that should have been a penalty against England. VAR can’t even get the blindingly obvious right...get rid

Yup. For me, that is exactly the sort of thing that is NOT a penalty.

I bet loads get given though under VAR.

It’s like watching paint dry

Otis · Jun 27, 2019

I am enjoying it. Atmosphere is a bit flat though.

Steph Houghton reminds me a bit of Bobby Moore. The way she brings the ball out and the calmness on the ball.

Not quite the same, but I suppose we could call her Booby Moore.

Well worked 2nd goal.

Johnnythespider · Jun 27, 2019

Anybody remember Noel Whelan scoring a goal like that scott chance

Yes.

I wondered where I saw it before.

lifeskyblue · Jun 27, 2019

Strange. There is some decent play but just not the interest I have with the men’s game...just can’t get excited. It’s a very different game from the men’s game and probably not fair to compare.

Obvious thing to say but England’s best game so far. I think playing less amateurish team than in the groups and Cameroon is helping and making for a much more flowing game that’s England are thriving on.

Johnnythespider · Jun 27, 2019

I'll be honest I'm enjoying it, interesting on the penalty shout that if it hits another part of the body before the arm it's no pen.

Exactly how I am. When the men went 2 up in last years quarters I was going mental. Second goal tonight I barely raised a smile.
I think its because I've invested so much of my life watching mens football. It makes it mean a lot more.
Fair play to them though. They're heading to the semis by the look of it. If we get to the final then it can only help grow the game in this country.

Well worked? The first bird completely missed the ball.

Yeah, I wasn't sure on that rule. It tmakes sense.

bringbackrattles · Jun 27, 2019

I've watched a few games. I've noticed the goalkeeping is of a high standard, and they don't roll about when they get fouled, they just get on with it. Neymar should watch and take heed !

covmark · Jun 27, 2019

Hell of a strike from Bronze. She is pretty decent.

Great player. Has to be world class in the women's game.

At least it's more entertaining than watching the England mens team.

Erik the Red, Roald Amundsen, Thor Heyerdahl, Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Grieg you're girls took one hell of a beating.

I was watching a video earlier about Scandavian girls getting spanked.

It must have been an omen.

no_loyalty · Jun 27, 2019

The defence has been outstanding, oh and the keeper is better than Lee Burge.

Otis · Jun 27, 2019

I like the lack of cynicism and cheating. Very refreshing.

Well, apart from Cameroon being treated unfairly of course.

does feel like 2 different sports.
get a feeling they're trying to develop into similar styles of football as the men's game but don't have the ability/physicality to do that.
was talking to a top football agent last week who is scouring Eastern & Southern Europe in particular to sign up players as he feels political/social pressure will elevate earnings out of proportion to revenue.

been riding their luck. fair bit of last gasp stuff

Otis · Jun 27, 2019

Actually, thinking about it, Cameroon may have a point on the racism accusations, because Ellen White scored in that game, so it WAS a case of White beating the blacks wasn't it.

no_loyalty · Jun 27, 2019

Poor pen that.

Johnnythespider · Jun 27, 2019

Still going for goals at 3-0. That's different to the mens game

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Jun 27, 2019

I generally find the attacking play looks pretty, however the defending and goalkeeping for me is generally (not all) horrendous - finishing would make Chaplin proud.

All the stuff about women not diving - whilst the pen was a push, you’d be fuming if someone went down like that against us

Although I do want to and am happy to see England win

Houchens Head · Jun 27, 2019

I see Beckham sneaked in for a quick cuddle!

A couple of these look as if they're having an orgasm!

Well done ladies, much better performance tonight
