England causing own trouble by silly errors
WWC19 | Final: USA v Netherlands
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
England keepers huh ?
England players look great one minute but the next they display a first touch that makes Lukaku look like Messi.
Great goal
Yesssss
This is crap.
Excellent, just what we needed.
2-0. Easy game.
It's coming home
What a stunning goal
Is she on for top scorer?
According to the new laws it's a penalty. Ridiculous imo. It does stop the grey area and interpretation by referees though I suppose.
Yeah, they haven't got a clue.
England is playing another sport they're so much better. Only team I see challenging the US. Okay, maybe France too.
Sir Phil Neville when we win?
Pfffttt these Norwegians shouldn't even be on the same field as our world class English lasses.

Tied right now
I know, I'm pretty sure the pen would have been given if it hit the arm directly. The whole rule is silly anyway. It takes intent out of the equation but it can be so so unfair at times
. Nothing could do that.England could have scored 5
Amazed Jill Scott is only 5ft 11, she looks like Crouch out there!
Don't get why BBC don't have Casey stoney for England games . These girls are more excitement and little analysis
Should have been 3 there. We look well in control at half time.
Just to clarify the new handball laws:
The law remains that deliberate handball is an offence. But accidental handball will also be a free-kick if...
The law remains that deliberate handball is an offence. But accidental handball will also be a free-kick if...
- the ball goes into the goal off an attacker
- a player gets the ball using their arm or hand and then scores, or creates a goalscoring opportunity
- a player's hand or arm has made their body "unnaturally bigger"
- the player's arm or hand is above their shoulder (unless the player has controlled the ball onto their own arm or hand)
- the ball is knocked on to a hand by the player in question or a nearby player
- the arm or hand is close to their body and "has not made their body unnaturally bigger"
- if a player is falling and the ball touches their hand or arm when it is between their body and the ground to support the body - but not extended to make the body bigger.
Fair play. Haven't been overly impressed by England so far this WC (didn't think defence was strong enough and too defensive in decisions at times) but been really good tonight. Norway not good though.... too passive.

As per bbc the law states that if the ball hits another part of the body first then it's not a penalty
Found out the Ballon Do'r winner is from Norway earlier in the tournament. Finally watching a Norway game and I find out she isn't even playing for the national team.
She’s on strike over pay I think.
Cheers for clearing it up. Atleast they are abiding by the laws of the game, even if those same laws are ruining it.
This ref is shite.
England very sloppy in the second half
The ref obviously doesn't carry cards either
Foot like a traction engine!
What a stunning goal
Norway ffs 
how stupid. Goalkeeping looked terrible also
how stupid. Goalkeeping looked terrible also 3-0 game over
Goalkeepers are so poor in woman’s football
Hell of a strike that.
She must be the best RB in the game.
fantastic goal
Bronze has by some distance been the best England player this tournament
