FIFA Women's World Cup

Poms escape

[sparky]

Australia have abandoned any sort of press in midfield. England dominating.

[canefan]

Aussies need to get back to driving the ball down the wings and getting early crosses in

[booboo]

1-zip Poms at the half

[sparky]

England were excellent in that half, dominated the midfield, were rock solid at the back and are deserved leaders going into the break. Australia need to score early after half time to stay in this, I suspect.

Can't see Australia winning from here - it looks to me like the Poms are wise to the counterattack game we beat the Dutch with, and our one failure on defence could easily be repeated.

I wouldn't be so sure. Only takes one taken chance. England doing well to keep the ball, but have been chances both ways.

England will need to keep pushing ... if they start to protect the lead, then that will certainly give Australia an open gate back in.

I agree. England have left openings, and it only takes one moment. But the Aussies need to push the pace

[canefan]

England a bit passive right now, Aussie growing in confidence

[booboo]

So my question about corners... ?

Is there really any advantage?

[booboo]

Oh shit that was good

[Billy Tell]

What. A. Goal!

[canefan]

What a goal. England sit back and she makes them pay

[NTA]

Wow. Fuck.

[Billy Tell]

Thought she should have passed to her unmarked team mate. But with such a strike no need.

[booboo]

Fuck. Me.

As good a goal as you get.

Hating the Matildas hype but jeez that was awesome

[sparky]

Fabulous equaliser from Sam Kerr.

[KiwiMurph]

Amazing goal.

Looked like a slight deflection

[MiketheSnow]

You won't see a better goal than that at this stage of the match
