elhombrecito Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 What's the point of VAR if that Japan penalty isn't even looked at. Never a penalty in a million years. Justice done though, as missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 The competition that hasn't stopped causing upsets goes on. Japan were the class act thus far but didn't show up today; for most of the match they were second best to a solid Sweden side that out-worked them. By which time they were two down and only in the last twenty did they emerge with their trademark style, but too little, too late. This year's cup will have a new name on it. With Spain going through earlier it looks increasingly like an all-European Final - just who will succeed from us and France, or will this World Cup shock once more?

ChippenhamRed Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Little bit of a shame I think that the England QF tomorrow partly clashes with the 12:30 Premier League TV game. I think the Lionesses deserve a bit more respect than that these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Currently 0-0 between Australia & France in ET. England squad announced. One enforced change as Ella Toone comes in for Lauren James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Intriguing game: Australia took ages to really get going but latterly matched the French for desire and workrate. In the end, two well-set teams were unable to really get on top of the game. I thought Asusie centrehalf Kennedy had a great game and kept them in it. When Kerr came on (their Taliswoman?) the team stepped up a level. Happily, from an England perspective, the winner will have had a two hour slog, plenty of bruises and the nerve shredder of penalties.

Erithacus Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Well you can't say that the women's game isn't exciting. Now we have a semi-final line-up that few would have predicted at the start of the tournament and I suspect the bookies are laughing up their sleeves. 1 minute ago, Super said: Do we play Aus if we win? Yes we do. I reckon it would be a familiar sort of encounter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
