World Cup Final 2023: England V Spain

[ska invita]

adrenaline injection time

 

[The39thStep]

That’ll wipe the smile off the smirking Spanish

 

[two sheds]

England need to watch for bookings.

 

[kabbes]

A good point to mention that the penalty attempt was really rubbish

 

[savoloysam]

Expect 20 minutes of Spanish players rolling around after each contact.

They are playing like they want a goal tho. We seem to have forgotten we are behind.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Lucky it wasn't retaken? Clear step forward.

I thought it was a clear pen though.

 

[kabbes]

Also, all these substitutions for Spain feel like a mistake. Changing a winning side

 

[savoloysam]

They still can't get something coherent together ffs

They're all rubbish that don't go in.

 

[planetgeli]

Toone's head has gone. She needs taking off.

20 mins to go though

 

[kabbes]

This is completely true. Something hit tamely next to the keeper is particularly rubbish though

Was never there today

[cupid_stunt]

Another bloody miss.

 

[Steel Icarus]

That's better! Here we go! We're on the up

 

[Petcha]

This is completely true. Something hit tamely next to the keeper is particularly rubbish though

Particularly when the keeper started moving to her left about a second before she kicked it

 

[newme]

20 mins to go

20 mins of overtime at this rate.

 

[newme]

Particularly when the keeper started moving to her left about a second before she kicked it

Iffy penalty decision, iffy ball placement, iffy strike, iffy movement. All kinda came to nothing.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Momentum was with us but this stoppage has curtailed it

 

[planetgeli]

20 mins of overtime at this rate.

Yeah it's all set up for a 99th minute equalizer

 

[blairsh]

Hope Greenwood is alright :/

 

[kabbes]

It’s Terry Butcher

 

[Lord Camomile]

Had meant to say, actually: to get to the final at all is quite the achievement, given how we were all feeling as player after player was ruled out with injury.

Of course, as has been been mentioned more than once, Spain have had their own issues, so mildly interesting that these are the two teams that made it to the final.

 

[newme]

Hope Greenwood is alright :/

Knee to the face is a weird one while standing.

 

[newme]

What we have no strikers? I thought this was reminding me of united

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Might have guessed we’d be losing!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Wrong ball in that passage of play; the other players were either running back onto an onside position after the last attempt or hadn't quite made it there yet.

Ooh, and looked like James went down a little easy, there...

<edit: ok, no, on replay it looked more legit >

 

[Petcha]

I'd love to watch a couple of football teams play rugby against each other. Imagine how much injury time we'd have.
