Toone is the best player on the England set up, she makes everything tick on the pitch, not sure why she was dropped in prior games.

Should be more space for Hemp and Russo now.
Australia are a shadow of the team that played in the quarters, the occasion has got to them.

This is an excellent composed and controlled performance so far.

Alex Greenwood is such an asset on the ball as a CB. Had a superb tournament.

Because she’s been underwhelming in this tournament, just like she was most of last season with United. She’s been good today but she is far from being the best player in this team.

If they make the final you worry that Spain are really going to expose Jess Carter.

She doesn't play CB for Chelsea that often. Emma Hayes sees her as more of a full back. I'm surprised with Wiegman's use of her in this tournament.

Japan absolutely humbled spain with fast and fluid movement, they have only looked good against teams who sit back and let them play.

Neither of these teams would do that in a final.

England dominating this game, ball recovered time 21 seconds, Australia ball recovery time 35 seconds. Pressing better, quicker pressure and just more determined

I disagree entirely, she is England's best player and near enough every attacking move revolves around Toone and her movement.

Agree to disagree then. Hemp, Earps, Bronze, Russo, Stanway & Walsh in this squad are better than her, in my opinion. Some of the CBs too perhaps.

But as said she's been much better today.
