    Denmark did really well last night.
    If we can get past France tonight, you have to fancy our chances a bit here.

    Actually the Denmark v Germany game was postphoned due to bad weather so they moved it to Sunday (today) lunchtime.

    England v Denmark would be a good game. It wouldnt be a walk in the park for England that's for sure.
    If we win we play the Netherlands.
    Denmark England final then. :-)

    England can't string two passes together ffs

    Some of this game awareness is pathetic. England are MUCH more powerful than France - they should be storming through them - but they are always, ALWAYS choosing the wrong pass, the wrong option. France are much less imposing player for player, but they are at least choosing good options. This is as graphic an indictment of the English way as I've seen in a while.

    Almost as I type, our left-wing fouls our left-back, ceding a throw. It's awful

    Fucking moron challenge from our number 4, could have been red. This is garbage

    Fran Kirby must be wondering what on earth she's done to deserve this crowd of idiots behind her

    Would you describe them as headless chicks, then? :wink:

    England seem rather all over the place so far. Hopefully a better half to come from them.

    They should start by getting rid of this Sampson joker and bringing in a real manager

    Oh good, our number 4 (who should have been sent off) misses the next game if we get through

    Lucy Bronze is also a proper footballer. Cuts through the bullshit that is both teams' midfields and sets up a goal

    England's keeper then concedes a penalty (not given) and then injures herself making a routine save. I despair

    We seem to be good at being solid without doing anything spectacular and then nicking a goal.

    Remember in the World Cup we were like that too.

    Holding a corner in the corner when there are still 5 minutes plus injury time left is...baffling

    Poor quality. Nervy finish. Where did 6 minutes extra time come from? But we're through...

    Fair play to the girls for getting the win but as a game of football that was f@cking awfull!

    Two tense teams both terrified of making a mistake does not equal a decent spectacle.

    Taylor is clinical when given a chance and that was the difference.

    A tense finish, was listening on the radio in the car, and spent much of the extra time crawling through the Blackwall Tunnel with no signal!
  • The quality of the game was immaterial - the result was everything. Sampson has done a magnificent job of creating a team spirit/bond that sees them fight tooth and nail for each other. The men's team/manager should take note

    Why what round can we meet any of them in?

    Brazil's womens team haven't been any good for a while now, only reached the last 16 of the world cup and were pretty poor in their home Olympics.
