Northern Red Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 That corner at the start of injury time where they took 50 seconds, including changing the taker twice, and she just let them do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Oh well. Better team won, far stronger with more skill and better movement across the pitch.

Before the world cup started England were not expected to do well due to the number of injuries . So well done for getting as far as they did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England - too slow at times and too many passes went astray, either under or overhit. That one corner we had in the first half; the Spanish players had their arms completely around two of ours.

REDOXO Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 England out played from beginning to end. How many shanked clearances and turnovers in midfield. Spain thoroughly deserved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Spain have been too good. So many of the games seem quite chaotic, but they’ve controlled it throughout and shown more technical ability. Easily the best team I’ve seen play in the bits and pieces I’ve caught. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
