Was a proper pathetic penalty, weak and easy to catch. Gotta be practicing that sort of thing. Learning too much from the men bottling it on a pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Feel sorry for them really. Created more than the States and by and large been the better side but that missed pen and the rd card have sealed their fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Gutted for them. Ellen White (? the striker) has to take that pen though surely? Heyho, they did us proud really so can't be too down about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR will eventually kill the passion in the game, when people don’t celebrate goals, but rather watch the referee watch telly to see if anything contentious has happened. I’d rather accept that refs sometimes get it wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 We were second best in all areas of the game. When we got the lifeline of the penalty, we failed to take it. A poorly taken spot kick, a third penalty missed in this tournament. England were just not professional enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyho, they did us proud really so can't be too down about it. Feel sorry for Ellen White, was the highest scoring England player in any World Cup final til her second was ruled out. Then she’s definitely going to score, til she’s fouled and wins a penalty, but strangely doesn’t take it. Now she has to continue to share that record with... Lineker? i guess she’ll still have a chance in the 3rd/4th place play off though. That still counts towards he golden ball doesn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Bright is not good with the ball at her feet in open play. Is she usually good at penalties? Just technically she looks the weakest player. She's obviously strong and brave. Frustrating because they didn't need to do much more to get hold of the game and get another equaliser! Just little daft bits of sloppiness and a terrible penalty.

So Jonathan Pearce lies to me when she scored her ‘7th’ (that was actually offside). I’m sure he said it was her 6th. So does that put her as top scorer in any World Cup finals? quite good going that she’s still in the running for the golden boot, considering the only person level with her scored 4 in one game.

Just little daft bits of sloppiness and a terrible penalty. Yep, that was frustrating. Especially when you’re chasing the game with 10 men (I’m not even going to apologise for not correcting that), and they’re trying to manage the game, and they can’t string two passes together. In that situation, you’re only going to score if you get everything spot on, but we were so sloppy. I dread to think how knackered they would have all been if it had gone to extra time.

Semis for the euros in 2017 (3rd), semis for the World Cup in 2018 (4th), semis for the League of Nations in 2019 (3rd), and semis for the World Cup in 2019 (probably 3rd). So we just need to go that one game further next time. We’re getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's absolutely deadly in front of goal for sure. A lot of the guys on here have been knocking the tourny but I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of some of the teams. That was a pretty engrossing and dramatic game whatever anyone might feel about the players' technical ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but only cos we should beat Sweden in the 3rd place play offs. And we love. 3rd place play off these days. Any looser with no friends and no life can finish first or second. Takes a real winner to come third (or sometimes fourth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
