FIFA Women's WC France 2019

Alex Scott gets where warm olive oil doesn’t, gets on telly more than Clare Balding.

She's well qualified to talk about Womens' football, to be fair. A truckload of medals with Arsenal, and represented her country well over 100 times.

Anyone can have a half that doesn't purr!

I'm hoping I jinx her, into a decent game.

I was replying to another poster who says we should take our blue tinted glasses off,when mentioning anything city related,it was a save she should have made,I was saying it was a cracking save by the England keeper..

Fair enough.

Apologies.

Bigga misinterpreted your post. He thought you were agreeing with the other poster.

Indeed.

Also a touch defensive of Our Lasses! :)

Nothing wrong with that.

I believe Jen Beattie scored in the Scots game.

City 2- 0 Rest of the World!! ;)

Georgia, Steph & Jill are the mainstays of the team. Duggan looks way off it though ...

 

[Nellies left peg]

2nd half is diabolical from both teams can't seem to find their own players. Like watching the rags

England look to be doing their best to snatch some kind of defeat here. Too many passes going astray, too many occasions they're caught on the ball, and there is that maddening approach so often seen at the Academy where possession has to be the priority at all costs, and we end up with so many backward and sideways passes. Very little pressure seems to be applied to teams, and they are allowed all the time in the game to organise, reorganise and then another go at steadying the ship. Or am I being too critical?

Beattie has signed for Arsenal.

Duggan is shocking.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Lovely bit of play, first time passes and then a bit of powder puffery at the end!

She’s very knowledgeable, she just seems to be on all the channels showing football.

Duggan does a Rooney without the luck, shinned it badly.

 

[Gray]

Just added Millie Bright to the shocking list.

They seem to look very laboured and playing out from the back with little movement. Keepers distribution poor and lack of vision all round.Neville out

Oooh, there's the band. Thank God, Peearse is commentating. I've been on mute for an hour!

I'm not complaining!

Will need more than 2 trumpets to drown that idiot out

 

[jimharri]

Cracking tackle by Steph there.

There's that bloody possession play again! Caught napping, Keira!! Funny thing, earlier in the week there was a piece of puffery on how good a game Abbie McM had had last time out, now she's joined the Rags, but doesn't figure tonight despite such a staggering game at weekend!! Mmmmmm!
