Port Said Red Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Just watching England Women playing Canada and just thinking just how fast the womens game is progressing. The quality of the passing, fitness levels of the players and the pace of the game is light years away from the games I have watched even 5 years ago. Englands opener a cracking volley from Milly Bright. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 I don't watch often, but at the top level , it is very good. Watched a fair bit of the World Cup and there were some great games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 New tournament this year; taking place during international break across Europe. England usually take part in SheBelieves Cup with the USA, but because of COVID - and also hosting the Euros this year - fancied a different type of tournament. This has been an entertaining game so far; and nice to see England play against a strong side like Canada (who won gold at the Olympics last year), compared to minnows like Latvia with the very one-sided results. All the games are being broadcast on ITV4, taking place at venues that aren't hosting any Euros games. Hoping the team will be back at Ashton Gate one day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WECANDO Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 Watched Bristol City womens team for the first time recently at the High Performance Centre against Crystal Palace. Very enjoyable game to watch. Good passing, plenty of movement and impressive skills on show. Special mention to Abi Harrison, centre forward who has a powerful shot and scores regularly. Just called up to the Scotland squad. Great to take the kids along. City won 4-0 against a team just above them in the league. Have since beaten Durham 3-0 away. Food and drink available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A superb game of football. England dominated midfield first half through Williamson and Walsh, but Canada changed their shape abd bossed the second with Chelsea midfielder Fleming pulling the strings. Two superb goals, with Bright scoring for England and Beckie replying for Canada. England centre back Millie Bright was named woman of tge match but the Canadian centre back Buchanan was equally impressive. Looking forward to now watching England play Spain on Sunday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people in women's football still refer to the team as Bristol (I try to say Bristol City as I was a fan of the men's team first), purely because of the history with Bristol Academy. Same reason why the nickname Vixens is still affectionately used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Anyone watching the game on ITV4 now? England winning 2-1 against Germany. Spain beat Canada in the earlier game today. England looking like winners of the tournament. Sunday's games saw England draw 0-0 with Spain, and Canada beating Germany 1-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I watched the game. Cracking match! I don't know what Lauren Hemp has to do to get voted woman of the match. She was involved in nearly everything good about England's forward play, forcing the save from the German keeper that broke to Bright for England's second and even winning the midfield header that sent Fran Kirby on her way for the Lionesses 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 23, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 The squad is certainly taking shape heading into this summers tournament, England certainly won't be far away and with a bit of luck in our games we could be real contenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkwaymom Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I may be doing Emma Hayes a disservice but I think she has a tendency to favour her own club players when asked to name the woman of the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Suffice to say, start watching Man U big screen, England on the iPad. Finished in the reverse watching the England game on the big screen such was the quality of their play, with the added bonus of no theatrics or constant whinging at the referee. Excellent entertainment and result. Men’s game might benefit from learning a few lessons about on-the-field conduct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euros represents a different rating of competition from what was a friendly invitational tournament, even if they were good sides. It will also be played at a better time of the year and will no doubt reap the benefit from intensive promotion before the event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, but those attendances would leave teams like Manor Farm embarrassed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 The games that England weren't in definitely had attendance issues, plus scheduling games during the school day would have been an issue. Games were meant to be double-headers but because of COVID & other protocols, it wasn't possible this year. Tournament is due to return next year.
