    Why does Ellen White not take pens?

    Christ, although half this forum would have expected Ben Amos to save that.

    GB's defending aerial balls is terrible, disorganised and tentative
    The general attacking play is excellent when done at pace
    But apart from Ellen White the striking is dreadful
    IF we overcome this Aussie side of amazons, the remaining teams in the tournament will be rubbing their hands together

    Poor penalty and must say odd substitutions which have upset the balance of our side. No left back, playing Kirby just so she can have a game ahead of future rounds, and the usual taking off one of our back attacking midfield players  and putting on a defensive one when 2-1 up - that always works doesn't it!

    I completely missed that they’ve added 4x400m mixed relay track event to this Olympics.

    Does anybody else find the positiveness from losing by the commentators so annoying. WE LOST and clearly weren't good enough

    Going to a tournament with only one goal scorer was always going to be a big ask. Ellen White might be in with a shout of the golden boot without getting beyond the second round. 

    To be fair to GB, the Aussies did get a draw off the USA and anyone who can do that is a decent side.

    GB by far the better footballing side but defensively awful, especially aerially. Looked physically and mentally weak after conceding late in normal time then after the missed pen. Poor performance from what I’ve seen before.

    Why didn't Kirby play more? A regular for the Chelsea side that won the league and reached the CL final.

    We scored 3 goals, that should be enough to win most games. It was like the Charlton side last winter, when we let in goals for fun, and had to score 3 to win matches

    Injured she played today to get "minutes".

    White can't get the golden Boot because one of the Dutch girls already has 8.

    Agreed, but I thought they said that before this game, GB had conceded the least?

    In other news, who would have bet that a grandniece of an Irish Taoiseach would win two silvers in swimming for Hong Kong, immediately becoming HK's record-holding medallist (though, as she has pulled out of the 50m freestyle, she can't win any more this Games)?

    Miedema scored again today and now has 10 in this Olympics. Incredible record, 83 goals in 100 caps and still only 25 years old.

    After watching Zambia the other day, I’ll take that record with a pinch of salt
