This is true they really don’t hold back do they, I think since I’ve started watching woman’s football I’ve seen more crunching tackles this season than I can recall seeing in top flight football over the last few years.
Was pretty impressed with their Goalie which is weird to say when they conceded 9 but she had some good saves, diving at feet and pretty decent hands. Got close to Zelems penalty. Toussant was good as well, maybe not so much quality but effort and her ability to get forward.
I think their goalie probably dominated their possession, with Touissant in second place. The rest of their team actively ran away from the ball at times, they were so intimidated.
That is what has impressed me most about Casey stoney and the team. At 8-0 down they could not fight their way out of their own penalty area we were pressing them so hard.
They have performed like that even when Phil Neville isn't there watching for England.
I think that's why Lauren came on, she gave an absolute masterclass in passing...she tore them apart. I actually thought she was going to do an Ole and come on and score 4.
