FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 **spoilers** [20th July - 20th August 2023]

[el_dazza]

Spain are going to win unfortunately. May i just say how refreshing it's been to watch a footy match where players aren't rolling around as though they'd been punched by mike tyson given the slightest of touches, and players aren't constantly yocking mouthfuls of phlegm onto the pitch.

Well, England haven't done that anyway.

 

[Purdy]

This last 15 mins has been particularly aimless, no thought in most moments of possession

 

[Tombstone]

Goes to show that you dont need to like your manager in order to win a World Cup

 

[Purdy]

How is James gassed having played about 14 minutes total

Its just poor. They arent very good and are being shown up badly.

 

[GlitterBalls]

Looks like the Spanish Legion in the defence box

 

[Calpol]

Spain look far ahead of England in almost every department. I thought same in last years Euros also.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

They’ve finally played a team who can actually play football.

 

[Nitefly]

Tbf I don’t think either side have been great in the last 15. But yeah Spain have the edge.

 

[adidan]

Tackle

 

[GlitterBalls]

What I'd do to Greenwood, she looks filth.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

The score line flatters us.

 

[BaZ87]

The naivety of women's football is pleasing to see. Spain have had so many chances to take the ball into the corner and waste time but they've kept trying to score and given the ball away.

 

[throwaway4372]

Red again

 

[Tombstone]

Spain have the most possession, most shots, most shots on target, fewest fouls, most corners, fewest offsides, literally ahead on every stat. Hard to say they dont deserve the win

 

[McBain]

Ultimately not good enough, Spain the better side and deserved winners. Our midfield completely non existent and more often than not if you control midfield you’ll win the game.

That being said the ref was appalling, bottled it when Spain should’ve been down to 10. Kicking the ball away is an automatic yellow, except when it’ll mean a red it seems. Abysmal performance only surpassed by Toone.

An England final wouldn’t be a final without the manager cocking it up. For all the talk of Wiegmans genius she ballsed it up, plain and simple. Hooked Russo and stuck Hemp up front who then wasn’t in the game….Toone played 85 minutes when she was by far away the worst player on the pitch. I can’t understand the thought process.

She’d be a perfect men’s team manager, I’ll bet the FA are eying her up already because god only knows they love a failure.

Are you blind?

 

[Freddie1980]

Certainly not the same England team that played the Australia. One nil down and we can't even get a shot away or create a half decent chance.

 

[GlitterBalls]

Look at em rolling around on the floor cheating *****

 

[CaptainRAVE]

ref just can’t control them
