Women's Euro 25

[AKCJ]

Think about how far England have come under Weigman. To think Phil Neville was the last England manager.

At least Sunday is 5 o clock kick off if it goes to extra time again 😂

Why are people saying it’s a soft penalty? Firstly don’t even give the ref a chance to make that decision, but that’s as clear a penalty as you’ll see.

The only way it would be fair would be:

 

1. No rebounds for non-DOGSO infringements.

 

2. Rebounds allowed for DOGSO (as you may well have had a shot and a rebound in open play).

 

@StanSP reckon that would be fair?  

[Spudulike]

Soft penalty to give away but serves them right. No sympathy.

And only 1 England cap before this competition 

Got more England caps than Arsenal appearances now  

[EastAnglianFox]

Id honestly us rather sign Agyemang than Bamford

 

Been critical of the women’s game but it’s so refreshing to watch when she comes on, so direct and just wants to score goals

To be fair, Italy deserved to lose that

Maybe people mean its soft as in its stupid of the Italian to give it a way

I don't know, I think they are both holding each other. Clever of Mead to go down whilst the ref was looking. One of them you're not getting if it's not given on the pitch. 

[Tielemans63]

Massively admire the Lionesses resilience - it's genuinely incredible. They never give up.

[Parafox]

I'm no great watcher of women's football but that was exhilarating. I'm looking forward to the final. Italy were playing for getting free kicks and spoiling our play. **** em. Unpleasant way of playing. Justified loss for them.

I think for me it's a case of 'if it isn't broken, don't fix it'. 

 

I get the options, but not sure it even needs to be debating and I blame Wenger for that! 

[Tielemans63]

Shout out to Lauren Hemp, that girl never ever stops

If England were better in front of goal it could have been a rout really. Really don't know what people in here were watching.

I think one of the reasons might be that Tiki Taka hasn’t really caught on as much in the women’s game. It’s still pretty direct, ball is in play a lot more often/less stoppages. 

[Spudulike]

Pleased they brought on Jess Carter at the end. 'ave it you twats.

Misleading stats when you’re chasing the game. Best team won but the game was a lot tighter than the stats say 

[theessexfox]

Is it me or did they both kick it in at the same time? Not sure I’ve ever seen that

Both the penalty and the lack of Italian players following up the rebound, was just very tired, lazy defending.

Happened to us. First game as title holders.

No I wouldn’t change it. That’s Wenger changing rules for the sake of it.

 

If they’re insistent, they have to make it fair.

The blokes could do with a Lucy Bronze. World class, been everywhere and won everything without an ego. Leads by example with her effort and determination.

We have Harry Kane, who had won the square root of nothing until he went to Bayern. That says it all.

She’s an actual machine. About the only one in the squad I wouldn’t fancy myself in a 50/50 with.
