FIFA Women's World Cup

James looks dangerous

[sparky]

The penalty save was a huge moment for England but there is not much time for an equaliser.

[canefan]

Spanish are putting their bodies on the line. First the goalkeeper, then a defender put their heads and bodies in the way of English flying boots

[NTA]

Yellow card for unintentional contact. The other night England were barging Aussies and dropping knees everywhere.

Clearly this is a nuanced set of Laws.

And not a Farrell in sight 😉

Greenwood patched up. Shades of Terry Butcher against Sweden but less claret.

[canefan]

England don't seem to be willing to run at the Spanish one on one.

[sparky]

Push on James, surely?

[MiketheSnow]

Fucking ref is bottling this

[Billy Tell]

James wouldnt be a bad shout to replace the soon to be suspended vunipola

She’s as lazy as him

She should be busting her arse

[sparky]

Time running out for England. They’ve had chances but they haven’t taken them.

[canefan]

Like Sweden and the USA, England depending heavily on crosses to generate their scoring chances. Spain more creative, trying to thread their way through the defence

[NTA]

Question - is the keeper allowed to move as the player runs in or only once the kick contact happens?

[MiketheSnow]

Plenty of time

13 mins

[MajorRage]

Spain ball control is just beautiful.

England getting dispossessed far too easily.

[canefan]

Lovely through ball. Inch perfect but the English keeper keeps them out

[MiketheSnow]

That all came from James not getting out of 2nd gear

Really going off her despite her obvious talent and skill

Seems like England will try to boot it into a dangerous area and hope for a Spanish mistake

[MajorRage]

@NTA gotta have a foot on the line. That’s a very misleading photo tho.

Ball looks as tho it’s just kicked and rear foot clearly only just lifted. Odds on she moved early but as not as clear as it looks there.
