England

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

We need to make them dance to our tune. If they get to play the game their way we’ll be up against it.

Not always. A seems to depend on whereabouts on the pitch you are. If it’s in your own half sometimes all you get is free kick. Sometimes nothing.

Just shite officiating as per usual. A professional foul is a professional foul and should always be treated as such. 

Like diving, it would be eradicated in a weekend if the refs applied the rules. 

As with everything, it depends on what badge is on the shirt of the player that's committed the foul as to what the decision will be.

Was always going to happen when we keep missing chances

[London blue]

The early miss was criminal. 

No panic though. Spain have been good but not great, this is within grasp

If it was a boxing match they’d stop it. They’re playing the game with all ten out field players in our half. When we win the ball we’ve 75 yards to run. When they win it they’re in the last third. They fitter, faster, winning most of the 50/50 balls. We look tired. Playing James was a bollock, she was obviously not fit. The coach will have to earn her corn now.

This is a touch dramatic. You don't stop a boxing match with one boxer winning by a round or two after 6 rounds.

James starting was foolish. Certainly need to get higher up the pitch but there's plenty to be played.

England much better this half. First half was like watching Barcelona tika-taka.

Spain women making the men's team proud with their play acting 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I’d have kept Russo on with Angymang.

[London blue]

Absolutely, would have been Hemp off for me, she looks spent. Does a lot of defensive work though.

Bronze down is bad news. Absolute warrior.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

All Spain in extra time. The ref gave us nothing.

One of the worst referring performances I've ever seen

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Spain must be spewing.

Very one sided. Two of the Spanish players should have had a card.

What do I know ?

[London blue]

That was fucking brilliant. Incredible display from Hampton 

How anyone can watch men's football and proudly declare they have no interest in women's football is a fool if you ask me.

Absolutely. 

Greenwood was fuming with that dive near the end by the number 2.

She's smiling now.

Said it earlier in the thread mate, they don't give up in a way that a lot of teams talk about but rarely achieve.
