ealingfox Posted 19 June 2019 Posted 19 June 2019 It's weird seeing two players challenge for a ball without one of them hitting the deck regardless of contact.
Izzy Posted 19 June 2019 Author Posted 19 June 2019 Good tackle that. The standard seems to be better in this game. Not sure the pass completion stats but I'd imagine they're better than most games.

Yes after this number of games in the men's world cup we would have been analysing a dozen or more dives. Don't think I have seen one so far in this competition. Hopefully a few yellow cards after VAR penalty reviews show that the player has tried to con the ref might dissuade a few of the repeat offenders next season

urban fox Posted 19 June 2019 Posted 19 June 2019 Scotland giving themselves a chance of progressing as one of the best third placed teams. beating Argentina 3-0
surrifox Posted 19 June 2019 Posted 19 June 2019 Any chance the England midfield could pass to someone in an England shirt ? Defence looks great though .
RumbleFox Posted 19 June 2019 Posted 19 June 2019 Erin Cuthbert is like Vardy, great player. As an Englishman living in Scotland I think I'm following the Scots!! X
urban fox Posted 19 June 2019 Posted 19 June 2019 Liking this new rule where the ref gives the ball back to the team in possession if they interfere with play. First time I have seen it used.

Must say the more I see of this WWC the more I'm all over the idea of the women playing on a slightly smaller pitch with slightly smaller goals. The frustration for me is the amount of incomplete longer/final balls, where as the shorter passes seem more accurate.
purpleronnie Posted 19 June 2019 Posted 19 June 2019 yet to see us play anywhere close to some of the other teams, unless we raise our game we'll be out early.

I think as the game progresses into more professional status with better coaching and fitness levels improve pitch size will become less of an issue. I don't think that it should be changed as then we would get into the whole men vs women Wimbledon type debate that the game is inferior as it is not played to the same rules

Certainly always room to play better. But, currently top of the group and up one on one of the toughest teams to score on.

She mentioned that in athletics the women have smaller hurdles and is in effect a different discipline. I've no problem with the women making their own game/rules and differentiating it from the mens game if it betters the standard and viewing spectacle.
urban fox Posted 19 June 2019 Posted 19 June 2019 Trying to hold onto a 1-0 is always a risky tactic. Neville needs to change it around a bit. some tired looking legs out there

Not making excuses but they clearly don't have the same level of fitness/stamina as professional men.

England are functional, cautious and lacking in flair, which pretty much describes Phil Neville when he was a player.

urban fox Posted 19 June 2019 Posted 19 June 2019 that's a wrap. totally against run of play but well taken
