[Football] Women's World Cup

[Grizz]

We got away with a few, Stanway deserved a yellow. Greenway and Bronze got away with one each because Colombia were attacking, but yeah overall Ref made some bizarre decisions. How the two Guzman tackles early on didn't get at least one yellow set the tone for the match. Can understand why Ireland stopped their "friendly" game against them.

Was definitely a stressful watch at times - so glad we equalised just before half time even if it was a very scrappy goal. Missed England going ahead as they switched to the Premier League match in Dicks at the crucial time - thank goodness for replays when they switched it back after the uproar!

This team is finding a way to win even when not playing at their best. Roll on Australia in the semifinals!!

Come on girls, 3 points today please.

An unchanged side for England, and Kerr starts for Australia - neither are a surprise.

Getting quite nervous now - and I'm only watching! Can't even imagine how the players are feeling. Hope its a good match, and we win!!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Come on Lionesses.

I'm going England for a win in normal time. Possibly 2-0.

When they lost to Australia at Wembley, they had 71% possession, 3 x the number of shots (15 v 5) and twice those on target (4 v 2).

On another day, they wouldn't have lost it. They should have more than enough to get through this.

What a buzz in and around that stadium. And what a boost for the game! And further major exposure for the 'Welcome To Country' message. What is not to like? Have gone 4-0 & 4-1 bets on Aussies as feel England have been misfirings throughout. Carna Matildas!

Defence is very good though….Bright and Greenwood have been outstanding

Like every good Scot, I hope you've kept your receipt for your newly-bought Matildas shirt.

Always find it amusing how Caitlin Foord bitches and moans throughout, only pausing to draw breath. Far far worse than any whingeing pom

The meerkats at Drusillas have been right so far, and predict an England win.

Stanway should’ve buried that

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Good game so far.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Aussie girls moaning all the time, must be a right whining din on the pitch.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Greenwood meant that challenge on Kerr didn’t she! We’re clearly targetting her understandably.

Good, solid start from England.

 

[Mellotron]

Quite incredible we have the nickname of whinging Poms, considering how the Aussies are.

The cricket lot were absolutely relentless in their whining over the summer as well.
