OCK Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Spain the better overall team, better in posession and quick in the counter attacks. Mary Earps is quality like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t plough the through the back of players or leave your foot in and get away with it which England failed to learn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being miles better than England also helped Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Dreadful game of football. Far too many breaks in play and it just never flowed at all. Congratulations to Spain. They were the better side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 At times it felt like the game we had yesterday tbh in the way England hardly created anything but the score gave some hope. A hope that kills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain definitely worthy winners, but that was not a one sided final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 England weren't good enough on the day, some rash challenges, poor decision making and sloppy passing, Bronze was poor but perhaps she raced back from knee surgery too soon? The ref didn't help matters, she missed a few howlers for us yet seemed to pick up on everything for Spain, she lost grip of the game when she failed to send Paralluelo off and almost let Spain take a penalty way off the spot.

Yeah, that was shocking. I genuinely felt sorry for the Spanish at that moment. You’ll never see a more blatant handball - yet it took roughly five mins from the incident to the pen being taken. That’s a lot of thinking time … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Think the two biggest officiating mistakes were not sending off the woman for kicking the ball away and the fact that our keeper was miles off her line for the penalty save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know what they were deliberating for so long. Because of her body shape she ends up leaning into the ball and saving it. I’ve lost track of the penalty rule but the keeper takes a step forward don’t know if that’s allowed. Better team won on the day. No complaints.
