Paris and Mead have both impressed. Paris hasn't touched the ball as much but when she gets it she just seems a level of quality above everyone else.

Great goal! Well in.

Shamikebab · 14 Jun 2019 at 21:20

That is more like it! Nice first time cross

What a wonderful way to mark the anniversary of the end of the Falklands War

This is the first women's game I have watched in about 5 years. The teams are way better drilled but there is still a low level of ability. Bizarre seeing such well drilled teams playing as a unit with players who are not very good

It is better when both teams try and play. Argentina have very much parked the bus and England have struggled to break them down.

A Dutch sub handed a Cameroon player some bottled water while one of her team mates was drinking near to the sidelines and the Cameroon player took it and then just threw it straight back at her. So much for women being better role models. lol

Force of the ball hitting her hand square on from such a close distance really jarred her arm back. Watching it again, I'm not surprised it did some damage.

I’ve taken some right painful hits to the hand at point blank range in goals that have strained my wrist. I thought she might have dislocated or broken a finger or something.

Some of these refs are appalling. That was never a penalty.

agreed. pointless pen at 4:1 with seconds to go

Gotta say, I'm thoroughly enjoying the competition (nice to see players trying to win the ball rather than the foul). loads of games being shown on the TV over here.
Is there much being shown in the UK? This thread seems a little quiet or is there not that much interest?

probably the latter of the two, though having the matches on red button or bbc four over bbc 1 or 2 doesn't help

Decent save that.

Jokester · 19 Jun 2019 at 20:19

Jokester · 19 Jun 2019 at 21:05

Job done I reckon. I can't see the other teams playing tomorrow catching you with their inferior goal differences. But apparently you would have ze Germans next...

It’s pretty tight, so not quite done and dusted. Scotland are more ruthless up front though.
