Thank goodness for that. If she’d given that after not giving the China one it would be an absolute scandal.

Should have been another penalty. Absolutely no idea how VAR didn’t give it.

This ref is a bit of all right

Enjoyed that little bit of shithousing at the end though

Urgh. Watching England on the defensive is terrifying. A half-decent attack will score half a dozen goals on the break.

Christ, how many times are they going to make the wrong decision in those situations?

Was gonna say, there should be a ban on applauding kits without sponsors because they always look a trillion times better.

You’re already seeing the difference in teams like Haiti. Better players all round but almost more importantly good coaching and organization. There will still be mismatches, but they’ll hopefully be fewer and fewer.

Walsh another big loss. They can’t keep losing the big players and expect to go all the way tbh. What a class goal though. Hate to make comparisons, but it still stands out a bit when a goal is scored that you could see in the Men’s game . Nice play, lovely turn, decent defending, perfect shot, fantastic effort by the keeper to no avail. This team is crying out for a 5-3-2 though. An extra defender to allow the really good full backs to push on. At the moment they are horrendously exposed on both wings on the break, sometimes simultaneously. Edit: on reflection more a 3-4-3.

11 minutes. Fair enough tbh, would be less if they had made them use the stretcher.

That sort of running might work though.

Can’t see Australia scoring two, they look laboured going forward. Nigeria defending well and could get another on the break at this rate.

Happy with Australia tbh. They look bereft without Kerr.

I mean, terrible defending . Lovely calm finish though.

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?
