That said, she’s the sort of player who is capable of turning things around by herself.
James will change the game..ift hey aren't 2 down by then
It’s ‘only’ the women but it’s still a dreadful prospect.Quote:

Not sure why the ref didn’t give the penalty without VAR , it’s a pathetic addition to modern footballQuote:

Of course it was a penalty.Quote:

If that ‘offence’ is committed anywhere else on the pitch, play continues.Quote:

Had a decent wager on England, but Spain by far the better team on the day, and deserved winners.
England can complain to some extent about the ref (Spain should have had a player sent off), but the better team won, no doubt about that.
Phew thnk fk for that.
I thought it an excellent thrust into the opposition, she was desperate for the her player on her left to move into the space ahead thus releasing a forward ball, but the player was stationary frightened to go forward, as soon as Bronze went on the run, no one covered for her. Good game and for the football alone Spain deserved the win IMO but disappointed all the same.Quote:

Agreed. Spain look some team. Wished I'd paid more attention before in this tournament!Quote:

That was an absolute defensive masterclass from Spain. One of the best defensive performances I have ever seen I think. And not in terms of dramatic last gasp tackles, just in the sense of not letting a very good game create many chances.
Well done Spain!

At least there'll be a bit of competion in spoty now, and there'll be a few spare damehoods and MBEs as well.
Exactly!Quote:

I take it Engerland lost then. Shame but thank feck.
I seem to be in a minority here of people hoping that England would win.
Football’s cruel, she picks out a team mate with a good pass from around the centre spot, everyone’s praising her, but it was one of those runs where the ball becomes less under control with every touch taken and, in essence, she ran into a Spanish trap - it reminded me of something from the school playground.Quote:

I don't think that wanting your neighbours to win at sport is small minded. I don't want England to win in football, although if they do l'm not really that bothered. This group of England players are alright as well, and Southgate seems like a decent bloke.Quote:
