Anon Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Spain were excellent. We just couldn't get going offensively. We didn't see enough of the ball and weren't quick enough on the break. I would've liked to see some of Spain's cynical tackles to stop breakaways punished with yellows, but crying about the ref is pure cope. Great tournament from England overall, but the better team won the final. Comrade 86, therealhantsram and Tamworthram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Without wishing to come across as patronising... Yes, I enjoyed that... as a game of football, and as a spectacle. Yes, I'd watch 'em again... in the big games, so no different to the England blokes. Yes, I'm more used to disappointment than joy, when it comes to watching England in these bigger games, and today has not changed that. Nice try ladies. Chins up, and go again. xxx SKRam and therealhantsram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexxxxx Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Didn't do enough to win at all so can't complain. Spain created far more, we couldn't make any space to play and they were stronger and pacier than us Tbh we've not looked that convincing all tourney. Spain had all the bad traits of the Barcelona teams that won it all. Ref was garbage too. therealhantsram and SKRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Deserved to lose. Not really brave enough. Even the goal came from Bronze storming forward and nobody giving her an angle. Particularly in central midfield we had nothing to offer either way Congratulations to Spain. Sneaking their traditional pathetic rolling around into their women's team. Very impressive. Sergio Busquets would be proud angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people will have jumped on board today and be giving it the "typical England" But there's nothing typical about the England women. Hard working collective who have performed on the big stage Just couldn't get going and some sloppiness in midfield was the difference.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 England didn't lose because of the the ref but the ref was poor. Spain deserved the win, played better, particually in the first half. Tamworthram, ram59, Comrade 86 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR gives the officials an opportunity to correct a mistake but sadly they're invariably not up to the job, although the constant changing of the laws hasn't helped. Because the guidelines they’re given don’t make sense or help. They’re a product of the system constructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ‘jumped on board’ for the semi, not been a fan of ladies football but I did enjoy The Lionesses. Probably only watch if we get through to latter stages of a competition again. Overall it’ll be a boost for women’s football and the kids will be more interested which is terrific. Comrade 86, Alph and Mucker1884 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the formation was more the issue because second half we had more options. But unfortunately we were chasing the game then.

Liverpool get a "soft penalty" yesterday against Bournemouth, BBC pundits on MOTD say "soft" also commented that Howard Webb has told his VAR officials not to get involved when the Ref gives a Pen...very strange comment to make...imo Edited August 20, 2023 by The Last Post SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
