Tamworthram Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Commentators talking about Englandโs strategy now weโre down to 10. Surely the strategy has to be to try and hang on for penalties. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the strategy has to be to try and hang on for penalties. We appear to be playing the 'table football' formation, two rows of four and one up front. Can you mark zonally all over the pitch? Its been a bit poor all game, the midfield has often been too far away from the attack, not enough movement. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 At the start of the tournament we knew we would miss those key 3 or 4 players at some point. We are at that point. Hardly anyone deemed good enough to bring on as fresh legs and minds. ย ย RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthram Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 One of the worst things is, if we do hang on and happen to go through on penalties, morally it will be undeserved. A player sent off for violent conduct and Nigeria have been the better team. The overruled penalty was possibly a harsh decision and it would have been a very soft penalty. The one Bronze just got away with looked worse to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The ref has got 3 big decisions wrong, all in England's favour. 2 were changed by VAR, but the Bronze challenge wasn't even looked at. Tamworthram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iโm sure they wonโt feel ashamed but rather relieved. perhaps โmorallyโ was the wrong word (Iโm sure you know what I meant though). I was trying to avoid simply saying they donโt deserve to go through which would have faced criticism as the team that wins (in normal time, in extra time, after penalties) is the team that actually โdeservesโ to go through.

Should have had a look at the elbow on the England player, she knew that she'd done wrong and faked the head injury.

You brought up the sending off which brought morals into it. They have been the better team, but morally superior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
