Women's World Cup

LOL - is this still happening?

I suppose we just ride it out until the fad goes bankrupt.

I was reading about the purple haired yank bitch. She certainly showed the true intention behind this "sport", although I don't rope any of the genuine sports"people" into her realm. Good luck to the girls who are there for the competition, but let's not pretend any of it is in any way significant. The balance sheets will tell the story. Just as they do in Hollywood and in Bud's boardroom.

Absorbing first half, Spain definitely the better side and could be 3-0 up, although England did hit the bar early on

England need to be more patient and try to keep possession for longer, they're just booting it upfield at the moment

Just watched last few minutes, England can barely put a pass together, Spain pressing them all over the pitch.

1-0 Spain FT, they were the much better team, England resorted to trying to kick them out of the game but the ref was having none of it

Guess the lady wont be taking over the England Men's job then....or maybe she still will?

One of our players was down for a few minutea with a blow to the head, also a lot of the Spanish players were down at various times after we kicked them about

I actually didn’t think there was that much in it but Spain definitely deserved it.
I was disappointed that after the penalty save it didn’t seem to galvanise us. We didn’t make a meaningful chance after that. Disappointing. Our ‘keeper was excellent and kept us in it but we didn’t do enough up front. Ah well. Good tournament overall for us.

Spain looked much more comfortable on the ball and ought to have won more comfortably, their (deserved) pel was badly taken and they miased one or two other very good chances

Taking Russo off was a mistake I think, she was one of the people most likely to score for England
