They check it with VAR, and it gets retaken if she didn't. So while I haven't seen a replay, I'd assume that she did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Better side won, ref was pretty poor and lost control by not punishing time wasting. We look very slow in a few positions and struggled against Spain, Nigeria and Haiti as a result. I’ll accept Bright as being a bit slow, Russo always looks like she’s running through cement.

Felt like that throughout the 2nd half tbh. At least the myth of play acting being exclusively to the men's game has been blown apart. As I say Spain deserved their win but some of the play acting was pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Think the Greenwood injury put paid to the contest, England lost all momentum after that and turned scrappy again, came at a good time for Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I'm not sure they ever had that much momentum. They had a couple of minutes of higher intensity play after the penalty but Spain never looked in any real trouble imo. Was a strangely muted performance, but Spain were leagues ahead of anybody else they've faced this tournament and I guess they recognised that from the off.

RobsonsWonderland Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 To be fair with the exception of one or two games we were never at our best. Injuries to our key players leading to the finals already had us on Plan B or maybe C. One good thing is that this might make the manager think she will have another crack at it in four years time whereas she was talking about leaving after the euros. Oh and as my niece joined Newcastle Ladies last week... we love in hope for the future! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy474 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I know it was terrible wasn't it, shame as they had done so well. Well i suppose the English football teams falling at the last hurdle strikes the ladies as it has the men. Maybe luck will turn one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number37 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 When the medals were being handed out, I liked the commentator mentioning how that creep Infantino managed to make his way down to the presentation area through all those open doors. Even by his standards it was still odd how he got himself in with the referees for their photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but The World Cup is always the one where the country goes nuts during the mens, the expectation levels are so high. If England's men had won the Euro's that expectation would have been even higher for the mens World Cup. Not saying winning the mens Euro's wouldn't be an massive achievement, but The World Cup really is the pinnacle of international football isn't it ? Imo the Women are ahead of our men by winning the Euro's obviously, i suppose the only caveat is the women's game has less good international teams compared to the mens, but you can only play and beat who's there. And even a caveman like me would be blind not to see the women's game is coming on very fast. Whether it gets to the mens level is, i suppose is debatable. I wouldn't be surprised if it does, the barriers are well and truly down for women's football. Edited August 20, 2023 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ever going to hit the heights of men's football in this country so don't think the comparison is necessary now or in the future Feel you're trying to diminish it a bit by saying they're like the mens team that they choked in a final when they won the Euros last year (which you then said isn't the pinnacle as its not the World Cup but is still a brilliant achievment) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
