England's girls

If the tactics of Cameroon are allowed to continue unchecked the Women’s game will become as annoying as the men’s😕. The skill, the speed & the play has proved a big draw, it will bring in more revenue & grow the game. Right now it is well worth watching, the men’s game for me is not. The USA have Megan Rapinoe, England have a few Rapinoes that have a hunger for the win👍🏻

Getting my seat ready for the 8:00 p.m.  kick off --  Union Flags, tissues, Union Flags, hankies, Union Flags, snacks  etc  etc. Two inch thick perspex bullet proof screen  { just in case I get a tad temperamental   } and oodles of soft drinks ( A B M  is  TT now of course !! )

What a shame so close, heads up and high they really did do a proud job.

Just a tad outclassed no shame. Congratulations should be afforded to a super team.

+1, twocals.

They shewed a flaw or two but that's what a good coach will get them working on before the 2020 OLYMPICS for which they have qualified by virtue of performances in this competition.

Just need a little more 'nous' at team level on the pitch as well as individually, perhaps even upgrade their stamina a shade then who knows - perhaps we, sorry that should be they , might be playing USA for that Olympic Gold  .

Must add that the USA were the better team, as they have proved all thro' the tournament so may the best team take the title on Sunday !

P.S. / edit --  How pleasant to see, despite the delays etc, how little fuss was made by the two teams over the V A R decisions --  Well done to both teams -- now teach the male players how to behave, please !

Yet again England lost because they cannot convert penalties.

peedee

Neville gives them belief, that belief needs to be converted into play & goals. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this World Cup, I watched England take Norway apart by belief, determination & skill. Last night the USA were England & England were Norway. The Lonesses had no answer for the USA who brought their A game then their A+ game. Sadly last night England Women played like England Men.

Saw the 2nd semifinal 'tween Netherlands & Sweden tonight.

The Lionesses would have beaten the pair of 'em --  no ifs or buts !

Sadly the Best Match of the tournament was last night !

Now I'm not really a round ball fan and only bother to watch with mild interest the national team (men) when involved in either the European or World cups. But this ladies competition has been different, I've been extremely surprised and entertained. However, the quality of last night's game was a long way off that seen in the England v USA game. That in my opinion should have been the final. If the USA keep it up, I'm pretty sure they will, such is their professionalism, breeze it as should England for 3rd place.

Im not really 'qualified' to comment on the standard of refereeing or the use of VR but I listened with interest at what the 'pundits' were saying about the very best refs, regardless of gender probably should have been used. It was also interesting to listen to their thoughts of making the goal smaller for the ladies. To me the teams involved seemed pretty good in dealing with what was currently the stipulation.

Not too sure about the size of the goals, Micky, 'cos I've heard both sides of this argument from the Ladies and even they seemed to agree to disagree . But the one improvement they have made is in the 1 Metre gap between attack & defence at free kicks.  It cut out lots of pushing & shoving allowing for more intelligent plays in the penalty area without stopping the game being a 'contact sport'.

With respect to the refs, they'll never win no matter how good they are, at least not until they all learn to walk on water 

Forget vet me  but Is the 1 metre separation rule going to apply to the men's game?
