Women's World Cup 2023

I'm not going to blame Earps too much for her one. It was a bit freakish - ball had to have exactly that trajectory to beat her.

But I think you're being very charitable to the Colombian keeper. That was a massive blunder.

Could well be, does remind me of cricketers when they're landing on the ground and dropping catches though

England cricketers dropping catches admittedly.

Obviously hard to tell, but looked like she just didn't quite get enough of her gloves round the ball, almost like the pressure of her grip pushed it back out rather than held it in place.

Rugby League Cup final on this afternoon too. Come on Leigh.

Great day to be a burglar in Leigh, they’re all down Wembley.

When did "overload" become a thing by the way? I've heard it a lot lately instead of "overlap" - sounds wrong to me because it sounds like the attacking side is at the disadvantage because it's top heavy.

 

[planetgeli]

Now then

 

[savoloysam]

Have it!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Good finish, that were.

 

[belboid]

Just about deserved lead.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Terrible defending. Great finish.

 

[two sheds]

Russo's scored some class goals in her time.

 

[Steel Icarus]

I wonder if Colombia's heads will drop a bit.

 

[magneze]

Super finish at a tight angle.

 

[pbsmooth]

not sure about this keeper but nevermind!

When did "overload" become a thing by the way? I've heard it a lot lately instead of "overlap" - sounds wrong to me because it sounds like the attacking side is at the disadvantage because it's top heavy.

I've always interpreted them slightly differently, I think. In my mind, "overlap" is single move in one moment, like a through-ball or a stepover or whatever, whereas "overload" is something of a more longer term and overarching tactical consideration, thing.

That being said, I'm conscious with "overload" it's much more "I've heard them using that word and interpreted it", rather than a term I've read/heard a specific explanation of.

 

[pbsmooth]

Overload just means one team had more players in a certain part of the pitch really. Aka four against two on a break = overload. Wanky nu-footie term from the stats nerds.

 

[two sheds]

Yes perhaps overlap suggests one player, overload two or more.

Ah, yes, meant to include something along those lines, but clearly forgot by the time I got to that part of the sentence

Not that bit, though

They're looking a lot more dangerous challenging England coming out from the back.

Ignore my old man grumblings

 

[savoloysam]

Great build up play there.

 

[two sheds]

Yep good passing game.

Now let's not get any bookings for timewasting eh

 

[strung out]

Yes perhaps overlap suggests one player, overload two or more.

Overlap just means a run around a teammate to receive the ball again. So an overlapping full back will be one who runs ahead of the wide midfielder in an attacking role occasionally, versus one who focuses on defending and never runs ahead of midfielders into attacking positions.

As long as nobody gets sent off or suspended I don't care

 

[skyscraper101]

I wonder if Colombia's heads will drop a bit.

Evidently not. They're throwing everything at it.

‘Mon Chloe Kelly lass!
