Soft goal to be quite honest.

I like how England just stood back to admire the attack…

Been an absolutely fabulous player for us, but she is now on the wane. 33 isn't she?

Goalkeeper spectating too. Probably wouldn't get there, but you at least make a token effort.

Deserved to be fair. We look like footballing dinosaurs. But you leave your only genuine goal threat and your creative force on the bench (again) and thats what you get

Defending is Sunday League level, gawping at the ball.

Will always have respect for the Women's game if it's analysed as it is, not on par with the elite level of mens football.

I think they are doing their best, they just aren't at this level. Have limped to final to be fair

You have to take your chances when you're on top, we had 3-4 decent openings but final touch just not there.

Lauren James looks a fraction of the player she was when she first emerged.

Watching James, and having seen her play before, she looks way short of fitness ( I know she had a knock in previous game) , but she is ambling ( a lot)

She has
Fabulous player.on her day, but does have a habit of showboating at times and going for fancy flicks and back heels, when it's not needed.

The whole team are slow. Slow in the chase , slow to react, slow in decision making. Time for changes after this tournament rather than just picking popular players for marketing purposes. Toone and Russo prime examples

Russo runs herself into the ground, as does Hemp etc. James doesn't look fit to me.

I agree, but you have to make teams work to score against you. Far too many goals this England team concedes are low hanging fruit

She has in fairness - there’s an argument to have not started her and had her for the last 20/25

Yes mate I agree she works damn hard but don't see the superstar she is portrayed as

Our reactions are very poor. Giving up on balls because we just don't think we can make it.

Chase everything. Never give up on any ball if there's the remotest change of getting it.

There was one for Hemp just then and she just gave up on it.

They can yes, but I've noticed the amount of balls that find the back post player that could be easily cleared if the players weren't stood watching the flight of the ball.

James' chance after a few mins being another example.

Chloe Kelly has contributed more in 2 mins than James in 40. Why oh why do you pick an unfit player in a cup final?

Sven et al have done similar with Owen, Beckham and Rooney, and shock horror their performances have been sub par.

If you consider a shot about 10ft wide a contribution

They say not to compare mens and women's game but this is just like an England Spain mens match. Lovely technical football v huff and puff and hoof ball

A gamble for sure..Guess the manager just thought she could produce that one bit of magic.

James probably insisted she was ready to play too.

Tbf I'd be terrified of losing if I was a Spanish player looking at their manager.

Spain are stronger, fitter and more skilful. England giving up space and hardly marking wide players. At least on two occasions England have turned their backs on Spain’s early free kicks. But whilst it’s only one goal England still have a decent chance.

If it stays at 1 nil they have. Go 2 down and they won't be coming back from.that against this Spain side.
