For me Spain are the best team in the tournament so it’s going to be tough, but well done the Lionesses on a fantastic display today and a really professional job to date. A pleasure to watch.

And what brilliant move by manager Sarina Wiegman to move Lauren Kemp from her club position an out an out left winger to play as a twin central striker alongside Alessia Russo who also scored and had an outstanding game.

Not even a top class international male GK would have got near saving Ella Toone's strike right into the top right hand corner at pace.

Perhaps Southgate could learn how to win things with a good squad of players like the women’s manager. Any chance of a swap?

Could definitely learn on the psychology side as the England women's team used to have a similar block to the men's when it came to getting past semi-finals.Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 2:36 pm Perhaps Southgate could learn how to win things with a good squad of players like the women’s manager.

Reacted well to the equaliser and found the front foot again when Southgate tends to sit back and hope for ET and pens once we concede.

You could tell they knew they were better than the Aussies even after Kerr hit that banger. Never seen an England team in any sport apart from maybe the Rugby World Cup winners who have such a champions mentality.gshaw wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 3:02 pmCould definitely learn on the psychology side as the England women's team used to have a similar block to the men's when it came to getting past semi-finals.Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 2:36 pm Perhaps Southgate could learn how to win things with a good squad of players like the women’s manager.

Come on the Lionesses for the final and what a wonderful win yesterday !

Like England did when we lost to Italy in the 2020 European final after going 1-0 up in the second minute of the match, the fastest goal ever scored in a European Championship final, and being all over Italy, England then became cautious and defensive and let Italy back in the game and lost out in the penalty shoot out, a case of ''No Guts, no glory'' !gshaw wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 3:02 pmCould definitely learn on the psychology side as the England women's team used to have a similar block to the men's when it came to getting past semi-finals.Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 2:36 pm Perhaps Southgate could learn how to win things with a good squad of players like the women’s manager.

Sarina Wiegman is a brilliant manager for the England ladies team and has the gift of being a flexible thinker when it comes to tactics and is able to change team formations, player positions and adapt to different game plans, something Southgate and dare I say it RW, dont seem able to do ! Her timing for substitutions are very good. Also a manager who is well liked by her players.

Have you been watching Stan surprised if you have - despite losing to Japan, Spain are the best team that I have seen so far.

England’s performance against Australia was the best of any team at the tournament so far, it was that good. Even my sport-mad Australian wife agreed England were the better team by some distance. If they take that attitude into the Final then they win it. Really looking forward to it.

England 1-0 down at half time. Started well hit the bar but Spain have been on top since going ahead. Both teams looking to play a possession based game. Spain are having most of theirs in Englands half and limiting England going forward. Spain had 62% possesion, England need park the keep ball and get it forward quicker to Hemp and Russo.

Giving far too much space, lucky its only 1-0.
Re: Women's world cup thread

Spain are totally crowding us out in midfield and are looking dangerous on attack. At least when we do get through we're creating chances.

One sloppy error with Bronze overdoing the run and punished ruthlessly for it. Brave changes from Wiegman at HT, hoping for. Lauren James redemption story this half.
