I agree but she’s young and no doubt will learn from this bad experience

Only in the sense that they won it on penalties. Nigerian finishing was woeful all night. Mary Earps made some saves but nothing extraordinary. If anything the best chance fell to England when the Nigerian keeper made an amazing double save from a free header.

An article that has fuck all to do with football. Then I noticed that it was The Spectator.

Looking at it from chances created. Nigeria should’ve won it, but for poor finishing as you rightly said…

Also in the sense that Nigeria were by far the best team for 90mins, despite the ref being desperate to gift it to England.

The arrogance of the English pundits mirrored the men’s competitions. Talking about winning the WC before last 16 started. Predicting an ‘easy win’ in this game :roll_eyes:

Well, they are European champions. That would put you among the favourites wouldn’t it?

Focus on the game in front of you.

I remember half time of the Iceland game in 2016, they were talking about what the team would be in the next round

The team needs to focus on the game in front of them. Pundits, journalists and people on the internet have opinions, which has no bearing on an outcome. It’s not arrogance to think England should be beating Iceland. Or England women (European champions) are favourites against Nigeria.

Oh God yes!! It was so cringeworthy! I had to mute the Beeb. Annoyed the hell out of me.

Nearly every Nigerian player plays for either a top European or a top US team. Pace to burn all over the pitch. Skills galore.

Are you Scottish by any chance Wee Joe?

Lost me there. Ref was entirely fair and let play continue. If you’re talking about the two possible penalty non-calls I do believe they cancelled each other out

No, and not ‘anyone but England’ either. Quite like the current men’s and women’s teams. Just hard to listen to the pundits

Obviously not, but it is arrogance to be talking about the next game when it’s 0-0 at HT against Iceland. And to expect an ‘easy game’ against Nigeria.

Was talking about the yellow card for a blatant stamp, and the penalty for the ‘Harry Kane’ dive

I don’t think the ref fully saw the stomp and when she did on VAR screen she did not hesitate one moment to rightly upgrade it to a red. And Daly was guilty of overselling the push but she did get shoved and it should have been a penalty.

The think I will say is that the Bronze push looked MORE like a penalty

I thought the referee was quite good. A lot better than the two teams on the pitch.

Very competitive and combative game between Colombia :colombia: and Jamaica :jamaica:.

I’m in a meeting at the moment. Do you mean very athletic or kicking seven shades out of each other?
