[Football] Women's World Cup

[Green Cross Code Man]

I think England are great to watch. I've only watched the second half as I didn't realise it was on. Some lovely football spoilt by poor finishing.

I know it’s Talksport and therefore clickbait but some of the pre game hyperbole has been ridiculous. Lauren James “better than Premier League players”.

Lauren James is 'better then Premier League players' and tipped to star at World Cup

England wonderkid Lauren James has what it takes to be the best player in the world. That’s according to stars past and present, including Lionesses legend Kelly Smith and her brother, Chelse…

Yep, that’s the substitute left winger who’s making Pascal Gross look like Usain Bolt.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Sloppy finishing, a lack of pace at the back. England look a mile away from their Euros form at the moment.

Credit to Haiti for their energy and for staying in the game when losing players and carrying knocks.

Not over impressive this, not sure that the likes of USA or Spain will be too worried about us right now.

Indeed, England have been very poor, they've played like 1st game of pre season....

We may not have been at our best, and relied on Earps to keep them out but credit for Haiti who gave us a tough game and never let us settle into our rhythm. Much for Wiegman to work on!

Sweet Caroline yet?

Just being played now.

Great win for the Lionesses

If Haiti are rated 35th in the World I don't hold out much hope for England

Emma Hayes trying her best at the end to bring some optimism after England hang on 1-0.

"Well, that's what we want from a football match. We don't want them to be too predictable."

I think if Haiti will give a lot of teams a test, they looked strong and very quick on the counter. Mary Earps was great in goal. But we did not start the Euros strongly and got better and better as the tournament went on, fingers crossed that this goes the same way.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Found it quite poor.

 

[Muzzman]

Unimpressed. Although I enjoyed watching, and ended up routing for Haiti at the end. They looked like they wanted it more, our girls looked well grumpy and disinterested.

Park football quality and as for this Denmark match,utter dross,my ten year old sons team could beat these 2. Then post match views, bring back alan shearer all is forgiven.

I didn't realise Haiti had a population of 11 million - bigger than Sweden!

Really? Crikey! I thought they were utter dross. Hardly any composure on the ball, and little imagination.

And the centre back pairing of Bright and Carter are horrifically slow and clumsy. If she sticks with them, England have zero chance against any decent side.

Yes I'll admit towards the end the play was not so good. And defensively we were not giving much confidence. But much of the passing and movement for our many wasted chances seemed attractive. I seem to be an outlier here so perhaps I'm wrong. Am all dosed up as have caught the lurgi on the first day of the school holidays.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Poor performance by England. I ended up hoping Haiti would equalise. They deserved something and hope they win their other two group games.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

my ten year old sons team could beat these 2.

No they couldn't. But still, you carry on being edgey and original.

ah! the washing up cup finals
