Point blank ball in the face - “it’s a brave header there”.

I’m biased, but I love the Aussie kit.

Yeah, so much potential.

Urgh again. Spain goal referred to VAR for offside. Ref (from Korea?) does the sign and announces very clearly “No goal”. Only she meant to say “No offside”.

Throw the book at him tbh.

yeah fair enough I think I’ve just reached capacity on transfer window Twitter BS.

I’ve never particularly liked the saying about living rent-free in somebody’s head, but come on lads . We’re shit, you’re in the CL, it’s the transfer silly season with bullshit everywhere. This doesn’t seem healthy.

And the mighty O’s. RIP

Nah, just had a sneaking suspicion and did a search

Annoyingly cuts off the bit where you say “since when do we believe the Mail anyway?”

That’s not sexist. It’s an interesting question. The other questions would be - does experience necessarily make a referee better beyond a certain point? And is the issue not more likely to be a smaller pool of refs to choose from?

Portuguese RB/RW doesn’t know how to do a proper throw-in. Can’t believe she hasn’t been pulled up yet. Ref’s been very good otherwise. Hasn’t been fooled by players backing in and just falling over.

One of my old Pet Hates that. Maybe, maybe not. Because of balance of play? Clearly not. Because of xG? Clearly not. Because of goals scored? No. Because of sportsmanship? With all that diving and feigning injury? No. Because of socioeconomic disparity? Yes. Because of population? Yes. Because they should have scored? Maybe, although England should have scored too, as shown by xG. Because they arguably had the best player on the pitch? Because you think it would have been nice if they did? Sure. Which was the reason you thought they deserved it?

Not a fan of this Portugal shirt though.

Think that’s a good VAR decision. Definitely an interesting one. Hard not to remember the old Brian Clough quote about interfering with play, mind.

Double urgh. Classic old-school Women’s football goal. Corner, just hit it as high as you can into the middle of the goal area so your tall centre-forward can just nod it past the little goalkeeper.

Was gonna say, it’s not pandering to Messi

Urgh, terrible own goal by South Africa.

FFS

Terrible decision that.

Back post corner causing issues for Haiti again. I wouldn’t say England have looked particularly bad, just mediocre. Vulnerable to the quick ball forward. The passing and movement in general has been…OK. You can tell they’re missing two or three of their better players though.

Great harry and lovely cross.

England seem so disorganized at the back at times.

Christ, the final ball has been bad.

Been sort of half-watching. Haiti look very organized and hard-working (and love a dive and lying around). England look neat but uninspired. There’s so much more space on the right but the decision-making with the final ball is terrible. Lucy Bronze seems like the real talent but isn’t getting as much of the ball as I’d expect.
