has there been any report why the american Rapinoe has been dropped after giving trump crap on social media?

Despite their higher athleticism the US team looks like they are running themselves down faster which might be an advantage.

Tactically it is a fairly good move against England as they made need her energy late in the game.

When I said "it's coming home" I of course meant the England team are coming home before the final.

I seem to remember her injuring her foot in their previous game. Just a vague memory tho.

Game so far - we're outmatched. Best we can hope for is penalties, but doubt we'd even win them.

US seems to have vision where the ball is going next we don't seem to know what to do beyond playing out a trained script

I think a lot will come down to the late game whether England can keep the pressure up to the end.

Kind of unfortunate that we're playing USA in the semi final. Had we been playing Netherlands or Sweden, we'd have a better chance of winning and being in the final facing USA. Better to lose in the final than semi final.

Yeah though the Netherlands looked dangerous even against the US I think they can control much of the field - I wouldn't bet against them winning if it wasn't for they seem to lack a consistent finisher.

Oh, so close!

England's 424 formation is just bizarre

zophiel · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:09

it doesnt make much sense either. its giving the americans loads of room on the wings

Maundie · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:11

As good as this World Cup has been the USA are really stretching it with their play acting now, it's undoing all the good things I've said re: vs Mens game.

Shamikebab · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:14

Haven't seen any playacting from them really, if anything the closest I can think of was the England striker trying to dive for a penalty in the first half.

Rroff · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:16

Again they forget about Morgan........

omnomnom · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:20

The standard is shocking tbh. England are being completely dominated.

zophiel · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:23

another dive ...... could have run on into the box easy

Merlin5 · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:23

yeeeeeees!!

marc2003 · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:23

Merlin5 · 2 Jul 2019 at 21:24
