Come on england great dive for the penalty. but if we win then who cares

Bronze is a class player, definitely the best right back i've seen in the tournament

Ones an honest mistake (by the referee, Japan had nothing to do with it), the other was cheating. Japan did nothing wrong, England did. It's not complicated.

Completely irrelevant

Anyway, turns out the Japanese player stood on her heel.

Well she stood on her boot so there was contact and it doesn't matter if the ref made an honest mistake a none penalty is a none penalty and they shouldn't have had their penalty if the officials could do their job so just call it a draw and get on with it.

Definite contact on Houghton if you watch the replay, yes she probably made the most of it but still a pen.

I thought it was a penalty. The Japanese player stood on her heel.

I think she edges even Ali Krieger, who has been great as well. Bronze is fast and smooth with the ball. Her 2 goals weren't bad either!

Our left back is shite defending but decent going forward.

She is shirt pulling and tugging the players all the time, no surprise was her gave the penalty away (although outside the box).

No it really isn't. Referees will make mistakes, that's part of football and you just have to accept it, but trying to con the referee into making mistakes is completely different. I honestly hate how diving has become acceptable and I will never condone it, no matter whether it's the team I want to win or not. Also, whoever invented the line "well there was contact, so they've every right to go down" should be taken out back and shot.

What the heck is an "honest mistake"
