Today's Games 2018/19 Season

England women even worse at penalties than us!

 

Why not give the penalty to White?

 

Descending into Primary School playground stuff now...

 

Eh?
The men are excellent .

 

Red card now

 

Us as in QPR!

 

Awful challenge.

We've had enough to take it to extra time.

Truly awful penalty.

 

England down to ten men now...

 

That sums up Bright's game today - bit of a weak link

 

Yep. Poor, along with Scott.
Shame but USA are in a different league.

 

Well, we had the chances.

 

She's been poor every time I've seen her.

 

Deserves extra time based on 2nd half performance

 

They are the better team by a distance, but most of the advantage is physical and professionalism.

Since when has time wasting been called ‘game management’ and praised?

 

England Women's version of Joel Lynch - potential for catastrophic error always there

 

Good game for the independent spectator. Plucky England, but US better in every department

 

Shame but they had the chances.......

 

Well that was a bit disappointing, not just the result which was fair. I haven’t seen much of this tournament but have read a lot about the spirit in which has been played (Cameroon aside) - the absence of gamesmanship, diving, time wasting. I saw a lot of that tonight, from the most professional women’s team in the world. If that’s the price of raising standards, I’m not sure it’s worth it.

 

Best team won, we are nowhere near their standard of professionalism yet. At least we are now closing the gap, maybe in four years time we will learn to actually score a penalty...

 

Better team just deserved it.
Shocking penalty- don’t know why White or Bronze weren’t up for taking the pen.
Well done to the lionesses, they did well to get to the semi’s and came close. A bright future ahead for our women’s team - they know what needs to be done to make a final now.
