Nigerians slowing down, England have a strong bench but the ten men could cost us.

Do you think so? They still look strong and energetic to me.

The immature players do, in situations like that, I mean.

It’s different if it is a mutual conflict (both players up, tussling, hands up, shouting at each other)—much easier to understand someone losing their head and doing something they almost immediately regret.

But what she did, to an opponent literally laying on the ground, after she had the ball tackled off her, was petulant, to put it nicely.

Shows a real lack of maturity. If she continually does it in the future, it will confirm it is more stupidity than maturity.

But hopefully she learns from this huge mistake. The other players should make sure she knows she let them down.

Yeah, she's the new pin up poster go-to-footballer for the women's game and seemed to think at that moment that she was untouchable.

Wiegmann is frightened to death of subbing any of these. Should have had a change on 60mins. it was clear on 60mins the strategy, whatever it was, wasn't working.

James should have been off by then , Nigeria did a job on her so why leave her on

Believe...

 

[give it to gordon]

100% red she was lucky it didnt start a brawl. Piss poor from an international player. If I was a team mate I'll be fucking furious

Penalty..

 

[give it to gordon]

That's a penalty

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Now that's a penalty imo

Hemp, James and Russo have all been well marshalled by a strong and organised Nigerian defence.

And they seem to have better ball control.

No, I disagree.

If the Nigerian women had the technique of the England women to pair with the athleticism, they'd be world beaters.
