adrian lord Posted 20 August, 2023 Share Posted 20 August, 2023 (edited) Too many flawed performances in the team today. edit to add: there are far less stoppages in the women’s game. It flows a lot longer between the ref blowing up, but by God when she does blow up, they stop it forever.

Just not been effective enough for me. To be fair to her though, we've been so wasteful and she's tried to play off the last defender but just hasn't got it right.

obelisk Posted 20 August, 2023 Share Posted 20 August, 2023 Only England player who seemed to turn up for this game was Hemp. Maybe the occasion got to them a bit. Better team won without a doubt.

Baird of the land Posted 20 August, 2023 Share Posted 20 August, 2023 (edited) Spain were head and shoulders the better team. Could have been a much bigger margin of victory if not for a poor penalty and some heroics from earps. I thought england were lucky to beat Spain in the euros too.
