FIFA Women's WC France 2019

I thought Steph Houghton was brilliant tonight. When Norway got a sniff, there she was cleaning up. The Vincent Kompany of the female game.

As Vinny would likely say, he’s the Steph Houghton of the men’s game.

 

[WestGorton]

3 great goals. Excellent from England but need to be more resolute against the yanks/france.

She is, indeed. Thought Karen Bardsley was great whenever called upon, too.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Thought Bronze also dominated tonight.

Well, we’re 3-0 up in a Quater Final of the World Cup against a decent team and you’re moaning that we’re going get stuffed by USA. Could at least wait till after the game to give your negative opinion.

I'm not moaning, just saying that in all likelihood England will get stuffed if they don't keep the ball much much much better.

But, for you, hurrah, go Engerlannd, we're gonna win the cup etc etc etc.

Bardsley pulled off a couple of great saves but she still doesn't look entirely comfortable with the ball at her feet and it got us into a bit of trouble once or twice. At least she's trying to stick to what's being asked of her but I do worry about that side to her game.

A fair point.

I thought the team played very well overall, a couple were below par, but the team stood up for them, as it should be, not everyone will be 100% at it every game. I think they've improved game on game, and that's tournament football. Bronze, Houghton and Scott were excellent, wouldn't want to pick one out as "best". Neville seems to be doing a good job at having the whole group focussed, and they genuinely look to be enjoying it, that's a great thing to have. Norway are a very good side and I thought, apart from a few individual errors we made them look pretty ordinary.

I really enjoyed watching the game , got right into it, go on lionesses bring it home.

You’re consistent at least. You sat there in your St George boxers waving your flag?
Nah, are you fuck. You’re scouring Bluemoon waiting for somebody to have a go at an England team.
Strange man.

 

[The perfect fumble]

 

[cleavers]

I bet they were all rags, being from Norway.

 

[City Raider]

Nine of the starters are ex- or current City players.

Wow! Not really being following it. Are we receiving any credit for this?

Hardly need to scour. Correct was at a meal. Checked on here for latest and the usual moans and groans ; don’t need to be a flag waving looney fan just as you don't need to be a negative moaning Victor Meldrew

absolutely agree - the ball retention of the two teams is poles apart. The USA are much better at it - they give, they go and are always on the move - unfortunately England give it away too often and too cheaply. The Americans are the City of this competition with the style of football they play and England are a couple of rungs below them.

Not really mate, no.

That being the case, and I don’t disagree, why did we choose to let Japan get the place in the half of the draw which avoids them??

Ask Raheem Sterling mate - it was clearly his fault..................
