E.G.Red Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) Reasonable game on Ch4. England 4-1 up . Playing in Red/Orange and the Dutch in White. Glad to see that although it's a friendly the women's game is getting terrestrial TV coverage. Edited June 24, 2022 by E.G.Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Doing multi-tasking, took about 10 minutes to cheer for the right side. Thought it odd listening to the crowd that the Dutch had appeared to have travelled in numbers for a friendly match! Some of our play, particularly ball control and movement has been excellent in the second half. The fourth goal was something special; some anticipation, power, balance and precision from that player. Entertainment far exceeds that of the men’s national side. Bravo.

E.G.Red Posted June 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) One thing I've noticed is that the women unlike the men are more clinical and don't sit back on a lead. 5-1. Well done Beth Mead. Bodes well for the Euros. Edited June 24, 2022 by E.G.Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Alright, it's a friendly and not a game to make many judgements about but the England squad seems to have a lot of talent and depth at the business end of the field. That does look promising for the real matches coming soon. Home advantage will be another help and so I reckon this might be the platform to be winners - something the men came so close to last year. Maybe the Lionesses will bring football home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Ist half was a little sloppy but yet again the Lionesses 2nd half performance was superb. If we can get Lauren Hemp on the ball she has periods of the game where she's untouchable. There is such strength in depth as shown by likes of Toon, Mead, Stanway and Roussouw tonight. Provided they all stay fit then this England side really could lift the trophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Anyone here going to any Womens Euros matches? My son and I have tickets for the opening match at Old Trafford - England v Austria. Nice day out for us at a big stadium and excellent value - £15 for me, £7.50 for him (age 11). Never been to a women’s match in person before, looking forward to seeing how it compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Wtf was going on there? England in orange managed by a Dutch woman. Holland in white and blue managed by an Englishman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
