England are playing v well but the Chinese are awful. And I get a bit sick of the hyperbole, describing the 3rd goal as "world class" when the play was absolutely telegraphed and James had acres of space and all the time in the world to score..... truly abysmal defending doesn't make a shot (not even into the corner from long distance) "world class". Anyway, it's an enjoyable game for an England fan.

Fun to watch and England are playing some good stuff. But yes, the Chinese have been poor and utterly outclassed.

What a goal! (James' 2nd)

Was that one alright?

Not sure about that offside decision, but England well on top and deserving of their 3 goal lead at halftime.

I also have no idea how that's offside

Yeah, they've got that wrong.

They've given it against Bronze who was clearly walking away and not interfering with play. She then touches it in the second phase, which has nothing to do with it.

I agree, it's surely a mistake. What a shame it was a lovely finish.

It's been an enjoyable watch. 3 goals, 74% possession, no shots on or off target for China. Job done and group won.

With the position that England are in, I'm hoping that Albion's Katie Robinson might get 15-20 minutes towards the end.
