RevidgeBlue Posted July 22 Posted July 22 9 hours ago, Exiled_Rover said: Tell you what, it takes a brave manager to drop Jess Carter after these racism allegations - even if she has been an absolute liability this tournament. I've no real interest in the Lionesses but Sarina Wiegman wouldn't really be doing her job properly if this girl didn't deserve her place on footballing merit but was retained solely because she had been racially abused. The only thing she'll have to factor in is whether the others might down tools in protest if she drops Carter. You would hope the rest of the team would be mature enough to accept her being dropped on the basis of taking her out of the firing line for a bit. 1 Quote

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted July 22 Author Posted July 22 I think Weigman will pick the team on merit. She looks to be a hard case to me. 1 Quote

roverandout Posted July 22 Posted July 22 I'll watch it tonight as I've watched every England game these euros but it will never replicate the feeling of excitement last year when we beat the Dutch in the semis Quote

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted July 22 Author Posted July 22 The girl thst came on when the other centre half did her ankle ( Morgan ) had a good game. Quote

I used to enjoy watching City women play because the game was so honest. Diving and screaming all over the place now - which takes away it's USP from the men's game. 2 Quote
wilsdenrover Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Something annoyed me the other day (can’t remember the match) and it’s annoyed me again tonight - the entire subs bench joining in a goal celebration. 2 Quote

I only watch England play these days - and I used to watch that Bronze / Bardsley / Houghton City team most home games back in the day. 2 Quote
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted July 22 Author Posted July 22 We’ve been poor so far. No tempo and getting over run in midfield. 2 Quote

Russo is what I think most of you think Gueye is - best athlete on the field, but can't score for toffee. 🤣 She runs her blood to water, but bloody hell she's got no striker instincts at all. We have too many good players to be this ineffectual. 1 Quote
wilsdenrover Posted July 22 Posted July 22 It’s incredible how much more frequently cramp occurs when your team is winning. 1 Quote

Exiled_Rover Posted July 22 Posted July 22 You love to see it. Play acting from minute one and camped in their own box. Got what they deserved. 2 Quote
wilsdenrover Posted July 22 Posted July 22 I’m confused. Why’s the Italy ‘keeper stopped flopping to the floor whenever she catches the ball? 2 Quote
wilsdenrover Posted July 22 Posted July 22 It would appear the Italian’s are a reflection of their manager. Quote
