England keep giving the ball away. Terrible.

It is like they are playing to a training script with the last few steps missing the way they keep passing into empty space to no one then the US getting there first.

Get in!!!!

Where did that come from?!

Nice goal, game on.

Can someone tell me why Duggan was playing ahead of Mead in the last few games?

Our keeper is absolutely dreadful, looks like she's pooing her pants every time the ball gets near the area...

Didn't see the build up, so I haven't seen it said why Bardsley isn't playing. Maybe she's had some injury? Otherwise, a dumb time for Neville to decide to give another keeper a game.

Oh my. I was typing not looking at the TV , then heard JP shout Ellen White!

Brilliant play by White - can't say much for the rest of them.

Was about to say it looks like women vs girls and then we score a great goal!

Spot on. Fortunately, they've redeemed themselves for now.

Man U should use the Lukaku money to sign White. Better finisher.

muon · 2 Jul 2019 at 20:29

That is great defending, not a hit and hope. Game has become much more even though.

Merlin5 · 2 Jul 2019 at 20:31

Oh ffs

Kind of saw that coming.

muon · 2 Jul 2019 at 20:32

Another great goal from the US.

mmj_uk · 2 Jul 2019 at 20:33

At least we're creating chances.

Rroff · 2 Jul 2019 at 20:39

Once nice thing both managers are engaged in the game.

Marsman · 2 Jul 2019 at 20:42

Indeed. Unlike the French manager, who from what I saw, stood there expressionless.

zophiel · 2 Jul 2019 at 20:43

lol that ref, booked the england defender for holding her position who did flail an hand but there was not reason for the dive to the floor and then leaves the yank who elbows the other lass in the face.

Marsman · 2 Jul 2019 at 20:46

Not surprising I guess given the overall standard of poor refereeing we have seen.
