England need 9 more Bronzes

[MiketheSnow]

World class defending

[canefan]

England just don't seem to have the skill to get past these canny Spanish defenders

[MiketheSnow]

Carter has been fantastic

My English POTM

[Billy Tell]

I have no sympathy fir England. Yes the Spanish are diving but England tine wasting ++ v Aussie

[sparky]

Spanish fans celebrating already.

[NTA]

The shithousery from Spain is now at epic levels. It's deliciously ironic.

[Jailbreak7]

Carter has really stepped it up defensively this half.
England needed to do more with the ball in the first half though.

They are getting pinged for challenges they got away with in the SF

[sparky]

Into Fergie time.

[MiketheSnow]

Really good final

Fantastic tournament

[Billy Tell]

Great final. Spain definitely the better side.

[MiketheSnow]

Like the men’s team, basic skills let England down

[Stargazer]

¡Viva España!

Deserved World Champions.

[canefan]

The Spanish captain was brilliant. I saw her in Auckland playing Sweden. She's tiny but stronger than she looks and tough as. I wasn't surprised to see her score the winner

I don't know how you fix it. But playing comfortably with the ball at their feet is something the English can't do. They aren't alone

Fantastic tournament

Massive boost for the women's game here and the men's game will be counting their eggs as well.

Problem being it is the end of our season so clubs and associations will now need to capitalise on this using good strategies through summer. The number of evening camps and sessions will likely soar.

(What I need is the Wallabies to do well, so I can capitalise on that in the same manner).

[sparky]

Well done, Spain. Worthy champions!

[GibbonRib]

@MajorRage I'm almost certain she had her right foot in the air well before the penalty was kicked - clear from the slomo behind the goal

Moot now though, well played Spain

[sparky]

Spain got revenge for their defeat in the Euros last year. Their midfield press kept Keira Walsh very quiet. Spain kept possession better and looked sharper up front.
