The Diana Ross penalty at USA 94 was better than those penalties last night!

So England go through by virtue of winning the back pass challenge!

Just watched the "highlights"! That was hard enough to watch. How anybody sat through 120 mins + pens of that dross is beyond me.
I'm a sucker for the hype though. Same as when a new DC film comes out. I get sucked in by the trailer and the hype and think "maybe this is the DC film that'll be decent, it looks decent". Then i watch it and waste 2 hours of my life on ANOTHER shit DC film, but I'll still go through it all again once the next DC film comes out. It's exactly the same with the women's footy. I get sucked in to the media hype about how well theyre playing, how theyre as good as the men, etc, and its still shit. It's always been shit but I still get sucked in (and dissapointed) and end up wasting my time!
Absolute dross!

Totally agree, fortunately for me I only had to sit through extra time and pens.

Can't believe how absolutely shite the pens were, both teams doing their level best to go out. An absolute comedy of errors.

There were some pretty good saves in there tbf!

 

[Mcbean]

game changed when she brought on Agyumang and Kelly - ( she who whipped her top off last time ) Kelly could put the ball In accurately and find a player in the box from corners

Yep crossing from good positions was very poor until Kelly came on.

Yeah, which is slightly odd, because all three of Hemp, James and Bronze, are more than capable of putting cracking crosses in

The weakest link was Carter yesterday, unfortunately. If we had, had someone else in, instead of her, I am sure we wouldn't have been two goals down so quickly.

Shame. I am not one to pick on players, but every time she is on the ball I get nervous and she really struggles against anyone with any bit of pace about them.

I am hoping they "rest" her on Tuesday night.

Did you see the quality of the shots?

some barely had any power on them

i thought it was a backpassing competition. i feel silly now.

That was a very good conversion on that final Swedish one.

As a GK, even i can admit there is no such thing as a "good save" when it comes to penalties. You either dive the correct way, or you dont. It's down to chance. And if you happen to dive the right way, make sure your wrists stay strong. It's not like a triple save or pulling one out of the top corner worldie of a save, its luck. Nothing more, nothing less! And the 3 pens the sweedish keeper did save, were all really poor pens. Soft and nowhere near the corners. As a keeper, theyre the sort of penalties you live for. Because if you dive the correct way you WILL save it.

Never mind the penalties, how about the ref!

she looked quite strict. like she would boss you about, with a very firm hand.
are you sure you'd like that?

Exactly, very easy on the eye unless you're looking through cataracts!

 

[SkyBluePower]

Some embittered and talentless men really showing themselves up with the banter in this thread.

She was packed !

One thing that really bugs me about the women's game is the need to over hype everything.

The tv ratings for the game peaked at 7.4m, which is obviously going to be the penalty shootout. Now you've got idiots on social media declaring it's proof that the women's game is as popular as the mens. 16.4m watched England v Switzerland in the quarter finals of the mens Euros.

You can say something is good in the women's game without dragging the mens game into it.

It's weirdos, same as the commentators. A goal comes from 4 miskicks and they act like it's going down in football history.

It's usually strange blokes as well who do it to try and impress women.

Thats the best save I've seen in womens football

 

[BodicoteSkyBlue]

Bizarre run up for the first french penalty
