30-6 Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Well I'm Welsh and proud to be. The old rivalry says support anyone who is playing England. BUT, I'm loving this England football. 🦁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30-6 Posted August 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 BRILLIANT, WELL DONE ENGLAND WOMEN. There's a couple in there I'd like to snog. Especially Rousso and Daly. 🫂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 They’re doing something very special … Wiegman is truly gifted and it’s a match made in heaven. Let’s hope they’ve another result in them … Spain will not look forward to playing us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the game today, best they have played they were poor at the start but improving through the tournament is the way to win and I think they will.

30-6 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 Oh well, I can still dream. I wouldn't mind sharing. 💔 I think they can win also, I'll be watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the best they've played since losing the spine of the team: Williamson, Kirby, Mead and White. Hemp's run for the third goal was something else. Russo might have provided the coup de grace, but it was Hemp that did all the work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbower Posted August 17, 2023 Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 They are a true inspiration , reaching the World Cup Final is phenomenal but playing with the flare , passion and 'never say die' mentality does tend to make their male counterparts look somewhat pathetic. We should be so proud of them. I'm NOT a football fan , and support no team , but have not missed a single Lionesses match.

Agreed- Hemp is an absolute warrior, she chases every ball, and puts in a shift every game. They will have James back for the final - regardless of her suspension she is our most exciting player, the opportunity to go from hero to villain to hero again if she scores the winner. Spain are a quality team, and it will be a close contest. Edited August 18, 2023 by the hitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean Hemp, I must call you out, sir, and it will be grass before breakfast! If you mean James, then I agree. Her skillset's undeniable, but she's lazy and often dallies on the ball too long. She doesn't have the vision for her team mates and she has a selfish streak a mile wide. As a 21 year old striker that's expected, but we'll need a high work rate against Spain and she just doesn't bring that. If we had a full strength squad, she'd be an impact sub. As it is, in this squad...she should still be an impact sub for a world cup final. I'd pick the same team. They delivered against a high quality Aus side and no one deserves to be dropped for a player that stamped on someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that REALLY sticks in my craw however, is that I asked mate if he was up for a bit of clay bashing on Sunday, to which he said ‘yes’. He’s now cried off however because he wants to watch the football! 🙄😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobbyathome Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 I am afraid I am the odd one out here and at work .obviously I would love the girls to win because they represent England but I find the goalkeeping like a Sunday league game on hackney marshes . I understand you can only beat the best at the time and they are the best at the moment but not in the same league as the men so I will only be watching if I am not watching paint dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
