Emma Hayes managing a Men's Club is one thing, but signing a female right back would just be a step too far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 The first of the 3 warm up games start tonight on ITV4. No real surprises in the squad with Houghton missing out through lack of fitness. Team for tonight against Belgium England XI: Earps, Bronze, Stokes, Walsh, Bright, Wubben-Moy, Mead, Williamson, White, Stanway, Hemp. Subs: Daly, Hampton, Kirby, Toone, Parris, Kelly, Greenwood, England, Scott, Roebuck, Russo, Carter. Interesting to see how we do in the middle of the park. Very good chance we go a long way In the Euros under a good manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Good half from England. First game for a while so not completely polished but created a lot of chances and should be winning. Belgium kind of half pressing which looks a bit lethargic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.G.Red Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) 3-0 England. Probably another goal to come tonight. Why no VAR when there will be in the next match at Elland Road. Surely it should be available at all 3 friendlies or not at all? Edited June 16, 2022 by E.G.Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Surprised this wasn't mentioned on here. I was at a gig in London at the time, so I didn't watch it live. Anyway, England beat Netherlands 5-1 in a warm-up at Elland Road on Friday night. To make it confusing, the Netherlands played in their away kit with white shirts, and England played in their all orange away kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Final warm up for the Lionesses tonight in Switzerland and a 4-0 win after a goalless first half. This squad oozes class, if only the men were half as good. The strength off the bench is phenomenal, with two of tonight's goals coming from substitutes. But what impresses me most is that they can change their style and remain strong. Williamson played in the back 4 tonight instead of midfield as they only utilised the one pivot in Walsh, which probably suits her better. They left top scorer Ellen White on the bench and used Russo, and then Beth England at centre forward and both scored. We are very strong wide but they all offer something different. There is a world of difference between the play of Lauren Hemp and Nikita Parris in particular but both Chloe Kelly and Beth Mead are very effective too. I don't want to say that the Euros are coming home but it's going to take a very good side to beat them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Walked into Sports Direct today, six days before a Euros tournament on home soil, and not a single England shirt or any Euros merchandise on sale. I’m quite happy to see the women’s game develop and I think that’s really disappointing - and surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 Forgot to share this on here as soon as I saw it. I wasn't able to watch the game on Thursday, but City manager Lauren Smith did (for Sky Sports News)!

Midlands Robin Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I know its a bit late in the day to say this but the venues for the Womens Euros are bizarre. There's no representation in the Midlands at all and nothing in the West / South West. I completely understand that some games will draw bigger crowds than others hence the vastly different sizes of venue but the locations are either all in the North West or South East.

I actually know a lot more about this. When England made the bid a few years ago; they did approach loads of city/town councils. Unfortunately, those in Bristol & surrounding areas did not express interest - hence why Ashton Gate isn't hosting games, for example. It was during this time that women's football wasn't as big as it is now; so there was indeed some underestimation. There's nothing in the North East either. There would have been games at the City Ground in Nottingham; but they pulled out after deciding to do pitch renovations (and giving the Premier League promotion, was timed rather well) - and so got replaced by Leigh Sports Village, where Man United Women play; but is a much smaller ground Edited July 4, 2022 by shahanshahan 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
