World Cup Final 2023: England V Spain

[magneze]

All or bust!

 

[Petcha]

One aspect of the women's game - not sure how much I like how matey the refs are with the players. There should be a wall.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Toone staying on is...interesting. I think she's been anonymous.

 

[belboid]

Green Man attempted to dubiously stream the match in the cinema tent. Went down after forty minutes. Just after they scored.

Still made it back to a dubious iPad stream back at the tent. The third of a screen I’ve been occasionally able to see was quite exciting.

 

[blairsh]

In short, England in all sports seem to be the Peter Ebdon of that sport.

Damning af.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oof, Bronze diving in somewhat clumsily,there! Possibly thinking about Spain's goal.

 

[planetgeli]

I think Earps is my next favourite player (behind Russo). Why did Neville drop her? Oh yeah, coz he's a twat.

 

[Rebelda]

Russo, really. And Daly off?! In Serena we trust and all that but what. She had a great first half. Hate to say it but Bronze is not having a good game. Guess it's to allow the formation change but I'm not convinced about these changes.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Need a goal, put the top scorer on, makes sense.

I don't disagree with James' introduction but to split up the Hemp/Russo partnership that's been fantastic and leave Toone on who's been poor is a big call

 

[Lord Camomile]

The third of a screen I’ve been occasionally able to see was quite exciting.

I'll take it that's England's penalty area, then?

 

[kabbes]

Damning af.

Ikr.

Although, Ebdon is twelfth on the all time list of tournament wins, so being the Ebdon is quite effective

(for Badgers)

 

[Steel Icarus]

Russo is our best holdup player too. Kelly's iconic and industrious but not as good.

 

[blairsh]

What a ball

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Hemp passes up the chance to draw England level" - don't make it sound like it was a bloody decision to miss, ffs!

 

[newme]

Wtf that's no booking

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oooh, it was a bit of a "dive in" attempt from Hemp, but the Spanish player has got the absolute most from that. Barely even a foul, letalone a yellow

I have a love/hate feeling where ebdo is concerned, which is why i think your remarks chimed with me...

 

[Lord Camomile]

I'm a big fan of creative set-pieces, but when they're against my team I'm also a big fan of them completely fizzling out

 

[blairsh]

England pressing needs to continue...

 

[newme]

I'm a big fan of creative set-pieces, but when they're against my team I'm also a big fan of them completely fizzling out

I saw that and went ah shit it's some training ground play and we're screwed. Then it just fell apart with no apparent purpose.

 

[blairsh]

Spain looking good in defence there.

 

[ska invita]

bETTER!

 

[Steel Icarus]

Haven't tested their keeper at all

 

[Lord Camomile]

bETTER!

Just how far back are you? Is this about that chance in the first half?

 

[planetgeli]

So James at left back was the solution?

 

[planetgeli]

It's no good her having possession 30 yards in her own half is it?

 

[savoloysam]

FFS

 

[Lord Camomile]

Currently very hard to argue against Spain deserving it if the do go on to win. Just putting together much better play together.

 

[blairsh]

Nooooo
