FIFA Women's World Cup

A good two minute summary of normal and extra time.

The save from Horan low to her left was the best - watching in real time I thought that was in.

[MiketheSnow]

Great first half

England under the pump

Could easily be 2 down

But should have been awarded a penalty for blatant shove in the back in the box

[canefan]

England is another fancied team who are struggling

[MajorRage]

Nigeria looking the better team by a mile.

Classic case of underdogs 100% not giving a shit and going for it.

James just completely lost her head and lucky to still be on the pitch .....

And she's not.

[canefan]

Red card coming

[MiketheSnow]

Good

Filth

Big learning curve from the commentators

Fuck off

Call it out for what it is?

Petulant shit from a player who hasn't had her own way

Flat track

[canefan]

Foolish. Red mist took over

[Machpants]

Jeez when was the last time you saw a stomp at this level?

[Bones]

@MiketheSnow did I just hear the Comms say it wasn't intentional?

She fucking even pushed herself up off the player.

[Chris B.]

@Machpants Shades of Zidane!

[canefan]

Shades of David Beckham

[sparky]

@Chris-B Or Beckham in 1998.

[Donsteppa]

Commentators were in dreamland on that one.

From the bits I've seen, James didn't look like winning many awards for workrate tonight though?

[MiketheSnow]

If it gets to penalties then England will have done supremely well

[Tordah]

One of the aspects where women's soccer is so much better than men's is the lack of theatrics. Clear red card and must have hurt a bit, but the Nigerian player only complained a bit about it. Any male player would have died multiple times over and rolled around the floor like a ran over cat.

Of course, they are terrible players, technically (compared to the men), but still.

[sparky]

England have been dreadful in this game.

Getting outmuscled, their touch has been terrible.

Nigerian Hollywood there. She's a big girl but went down and stayed down like she got shot
