The control and first touch to take it round an opponent is as good as the mens. I did enjoy the interview when Georgia Stanway said having the crowd was like “a twelfth man… I mean woman” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t compare mens and women’s football, it’s two totally different games in terms of strength and speed so no point doing it. But technical ability and tactical ability can be judged and they do play some nice stuff. Will be interested to see how they fare against a similar standard side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't compare but I don't think you were suggesting I was (sorry hard judge tone in text format) My opinion for what is worth (little) if you're a fan of football you will enjoy watching it regardless of the standard, premier league to Sunday league. If you only watch the best of the best play then I would suggest to posters criticising lesser standard of football, not follow Bristol City football club.

No I was talking generally about comparison of mens and women’s football that you often see. It’s not the same game so anyone who compares will only be disappointed. Totally agree about a good game being a good game whatever the standard or whoever is playing it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 The result was not really in doubt, nor the performance inasmuch that the group was won before kick-off. Clearly the squad has been built to produce a standard and it was a comfortable one in the end. Give the Northern Irish girls the credit they deserve, though: their first half gameplan was a solid and gave England some problems that were proving difficult to overcome. However, these Lionesses are able to keep up a pace and inevitably the greater stamina and skill tolled eventually. The difference between a fully professional side and part-timers was marked, resulting in an ever-widening gap towards the end of the game. I'm quite happy the score didn't exceed the Norway game. It would not have been necessary, nor would it have proved a point. A comfortable result without creating excessive expectations. Not sure if the ball flicked Hemp's hand on the way to Kirby for the first goal. If it did, I'm puzzled that VAR did not intervene. After all, it chalked off the earlier effort. The other goals were examples of the level of talent in the squad. We're a side others don't want to come up against. Quality shone all night from some of the England players. I thought Kirby kept popping up in little spaces behind the front line and caused all sorts of problems; she has a great touch and the vision to make the dangerous passes. If the strikers are having an off night, then there is a swathe of subs with as much talent. Given the paucity of defending needed, the midfielders had a chance to cut out attacks and push forwards in numbers. All in all, it's been a first rate effort in the groups. Now the real tournament is about to begin. It's No Tomorrow football from now on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s simple in that the strength and speed in mens pro football even at the lower levels is way higher and that makes it a different type of game. The point is you can enjoy both forms of football without needing to point out every time there’s a game “even the Gas would hammer these”……………… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Interesting approach by Spain: plenty of possession and control but not that able to put away the chances. Denmark were content to start as a defensive set-up and rely on a breakaway. Sadly, the few times they got into the Spanish defence they did not have the finishing qualities. Even as time ran out, that pattern didn't really change. I wonder how Spain will approach the quarter-final against us at Brighton. Will they reverse their instinctive mindset and get the bus started? Meanwhile Germany and Austria meet at Brentford - a probable ticket for the former?

Had planned on using this sale; but found someone on Twitter who had a spare ticket going. Will be joining Steve & Dave (as well as the Bristol City/England flag), who booked their tickets in advance as they expected England to top the group therefore play that quarter final. We're all going to both semi-finals in Sheffield & Milton Keynes, as well as the final at Wembley! Also, I didn't get a QF ticket originally as I had planned to go to a Haim gig in Cardiff; but have since decided to go see them in Nottingham on Tuesday (as there are no games that day; but it could get really hot!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain don't really have a defined #9 - and ever since Alexia Putellas got injured before the start of the tournament; they have somewhat struggled. I am confident England should take advantage, but Spain can get tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Seeing as how well the photos I took at Old Trafford were well-received, I'm going to share the ones I took at St Marys (that haven't already been here) from last night.

I read that since Sarina Wiegman became Manager(ess), in her first 16 games the team won 14, scored 97 and conceded just three. Now they've won all three pool games in these Euros.

Admin phantom Posted July 20, 2022 Author Admin Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 Lauren Hemp is driving me insane, every time she got the ball she checked back onto her left foot and then passed back inside to one of our centre backs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
