Comrade 86 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Love it. Well done girls. Not a great performance, but a battling one and cool as you like during the shootout. TimRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Got to feel a bit sorry for Nigeria. I thought they were the better team but I’m not sure I’d agree with the commentator that said they were “dominant” in the first 90 minutes. Better, but not dominant.

RadioactiveWaste Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Gutted for Nigeria, didn't deserve to go out. Going out on penalties is always cruel wayto go. However, it's the next round for England and hopefully they find a gear to go up because play like that again and it'll likely be curtains.

VulcanRam Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 First game I've watched. Given the massive hype this is getting in the media, I was expecting a lot better quality, not League 1 or 2 standard football. That final penalty was a belter though. You'll not see a better one than that anywhere this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have had a penalty, they should have had a sending off. So karma won in the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Missed the actual sending off incident, but when you watch it back (as the ref did on the VAR monitor) she should have also given the Nigerian player a yellow card, she clearly tried to pull James back and impede her progress… is this allowed though, ie if VAR shout up for one thing and the ref see’s another? That final England penalty was brilliant, I agree that you will struggle to see one better anywhere this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could get even more out of hand if it includes a review of the events up to the decision I guess is the reasoning. Still hate VAR.

therealhantsram Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 How many times have we seen England men go out of tournaments in the same way Nigeria did? Nigeria clearly the better team on the night, but lacking either the experience or mental toughness to get through the drama of a penalty shoot out. The experience of the Euros came through for this England team. Overcame a penalty award being overturned by VAR (which looked very harsh) and a sending off too. It will give them huge confidence boost. But with so many players missing the next round, it'll likely be about grinding out results Germany-style from now on.

sage Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The good news is we won't face a team like that again in this tournament. Hopefully we will perform better against different challenges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question, what should there sending off have been for? I honestly missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
