WWC23 | England v Spain - Spain win the World Cup - and Rubiales gets sacked

[Sly]

England clueless on build up. Always resorting to hoofing it. Spain confortable

 

[Superunknown]

These lot would run rings around us.

Casemiro is gassed just watching this game.

 

[Josep Dowling]

Bronze has been awful all game.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

This 19 year old striker for Spain (apart from the fact that she should have been sent off) has been very impressive.

 

[cj_sparky]

She may pop up with something, but Lucy Bronze has been awful.

 

[P-Ro]

Ffs Fred.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

I have yet to understand why Bronze has not been replaced in this match.

 

[Sir Hag de Ten]

No matter the result, respect to each and everyone of these England lions.

 

[SilentWitness]

Bronze has lost this game for England. Mistake for the goal and ruined multiple attacks.

 

[rpitchfo]

Too many players really underperformed today. Lots of hoof and hope, no real build up play. Completely bottled it.

 

[prateik]

That wasn't handball, was it? didn't look like it

 

[Stack]

This 19 year old striker for Spain (apart from the fact that she should have been sent off) has been very impressive.

Never a sending off.

 

[LordSpud]

Bronze has been awful all game.

All tournament.

 

[saivet]

England haven't looked like scoring all half

 

[Paul778]

Have we had a shot on target this half?

 

[Chief123]

We will 100% score here.

I can’t even see England getting a shot on target from here.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Hemp has been terrible, release the effing ball

 

[LordSpud]

Never a sending off.

Could argue kicking the ball away was a 2nd yellow and the knee was definitely a yellow.

 

[Stack]

Have we had a shot on target this half?

Yes the Spanish keeper had to tip a James shot over the bar

 

[predator]

Even a team consisting of Busquets, Ramos, Pepe, Diego Costa, iniesta, Pedro, Suarez couldn't shithouse 13 mins away. Its like a 7th of the whole match.

 

[Sly]

Try to win the corner it's the best chance they have to score

 

[SilentWitness]

Also everyone hyped James up loads and she’s just been strolling around nonchalantly all half.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Could argue kicking the ball away was a 2nd yellow and the knee was definitely a yellow.

Absolutely bobbins take.

 

[Stack]

Could argue kicking the ball away was a 2nd yellow and the knee was definitely a yellow.

England fans desperate for some sort of excuse as usual

 

[Alex99]

Bronze has lost this game for England. Mistake for the goal and ruined multiple attacks.

Watching on ITV and the pundits (who are just her mates) defended her saying she had no help, while playing a replay that showed plenty of opportunities for her to release the ball.

 

[Samid]

Even a team consisting of Busquets, Ramos, Pepe, Diego Costa, iniesta, Pedro, Suarez couldn't shithouse 13 mins away. Its like a 6th of the whole match.

VAR took about 5 mins

 

[DoctorPepper]

Bronze a quintessential English WC performance.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Also everyone hyped James up loads and she’s just been strolling around nonchalantly all half.

Yeah, like she's big time.

 

[prateik]

esta volviendo a casa

 

[Superunknown]

The fitness of the Spanish players is amazing. Great stamina. About 3 of them were surrounding James by the corner flag just then to retrieve the ball.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

JUST PASS THE BALL

 

[sglowrider]

They break forward fast and then someone always slows the game down in the 2nd Third.

 

[Josep Dowling]

England need to stop rushing everything. Long ball, looking for a run down the wings. It’s been awful tactics that hasn’t changed for the entire game. We don’t deserve it.

 

[Eric_the_Red99]

If Spain were down to 10, as they should be, we’d have had their goal under siege for the last 20 minutes. England have been poor but decisions like that decide tournaments

 

[moses]

This 19 year old striker for Spain (apart from the fact that she should have been sent off) has been very impressive.

She's class.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Christ, everytime, eight touches, just take a touch and clip it over the Spain high line.

 

[Sly]

Greedy Spanish players.

 

[AdamColeBebe]

This Spanish team's fitness level is something else

 

[bosnian_red]

England have created nothing all game here

 

[gormless]

Watching on ITV and the pundits (who are just her mates) defended her saying she had no help, while playing a replay that showed plenty of opportunities for her to release the ball.

I do feel like the women players do get less criticism for obvious mistakes than the men.
