[Football] England v USA (tonight)

[LamieRobertson]

Yeah i know its ‘only’ just a friendly… but a sell out crowd between two of the best if not the best women‘s teams …got to be worth a gander.

Might give it a spin, first hint of Sweet Caroline and off to All4 Foreign Drama.

We are watching ... still buzzing from the games at the Amex in the summer and England's progress after the Spain game.

100mph basketball style, can both sides keep this tempo up?

Hemp bangs one in after a great run by Mead.

How’s the ref given that against Daly

I thought the through ball left the US striker about a yard off.

I miss Leah Williamson.

Enjoyable game so far though. The United States (along with Japan and maybe Canada) are the only three sides that stand a chance of winning the World Cup from different continents. Europe will dominate the tournament.

 

[Durlston]

No, it's not a penalty. Ridiculous decision. Bronze had her head down.

 

[LamieRobertson]

1/1


Penalty to England
2/1

Very late call on VAR.

Don't forget Australia with home advantage.

The Matildas beat the GB/England team in the Olympic Quarter-Finals last year. And in Sam Kerr they've got a world class player.

Almost 2 each, ripped us apart there.

Saved by VAR.

 

[Durlston]

What a game! 2-2 now.

Whoever thinks women's football is boring, just watch this! Great stuff.

Edit: VAR disallow USA goal. 2-1 to England.

Oh dear VAR seems to have disallowed it lol

 

[hart's shirt]

VAR doing its best to ruin the women's game just like the men's.

 

[FloatLeft]

Was that offside ?

 

[1066familyman]

That second VAR decision looks a bit harsh too.

Offside is offside though! I thought it might be the first time they replayed the ‘goal’.

I can also see why the pen was given. The ball was more at head height than anything … Lucy Bronze went to head it and the USA player was high with her kick and didn’t make contact with the ball which was dangerous.

Lots more goals to come though I’d suggest.

Really good game

I forgot about them. Playing at home could put extra pressure on their girls but they should do well. Host nations tend to get kind draws.
