Joyful scenes at the end of another good game, they can't believe they've beat Germany.

This World Cup seems to be really strange. The quality seems a massive drop off from the euros last year.

Just watched USA vs Portugal and the quality is really poor. Similar to national league north level

I enjoy women's football and have, at times, been an advocate
and defender of the game.

However, I have to say that this morning's offering has been dire, to
put it mildly.

I agree

I really enjoyed the euros last year and thought the quality was surprisingly high.

But this morning has been really poor

Let's see what we serve up at 12 o'clock.

No, she's the Niece of Peter Zelem ... her Dad is Peter's twin brother Alan who played as a goalkeeper for Macclesfield Town.

Some very good football being played by England Women here today

Great goal,looks like game over already.

Enjoying this game.

Beautiful goal.

3-0 Lauren James one touch from edge of box.

Cracker of a goal ... super free kick and strike from Lauren James

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:42 pm

That was so obvious but this has been a great half for England

We seem to have finally turned up. Have we changed formation today and gone 3 at the back?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:44 pm

Running away with this.

Duffer_ · Post by **Duffer_** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:45 pm

Lauren James is a natural born footballer. Tactical bravery and a great first half team performance. Emma Hayes as insightful as ever. What's not to like and admire?

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:50 pm

Lauren James scores a Benson 4-0 now

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:50 pm

Lauren James is on Fire

what another goal

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:50 pm

4-0 Lauren James, again

VAR check...

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:51 pm

Great shot.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:51 pm

James can’t half strike a sweet first time shot

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:51 pm

VAR check.....goal offside.

Bosscat · Post by **Bosscat** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:51 pm

Offside VAR

daveisaclaret · Post by **daveisaclaret** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:52 pm

There's absolutely no way that's offside.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:53 pm

**** VAR… ridiculous decision that

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 12:54 pm

Bronze was offside in the first phase, but clearly onside when it comes off the defender for her to play it to James. Unbelievable Jeff…

Poor decision that.

helmclaret · Post by **helmclaret** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 1:02 pm

Great technique and finish for the 1st goal.

James unlucky to have that 4th chalked off. She’s a real talent.

Playing great today.

Now VAR gives them a pen for handball when she had no chance

Peno China.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 1:21 pm

Scored 1-3.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 1:21 pm

From 4-0 to 3-1 from two atrocious VAR decisions

Blatant handball for the penalty.

I don't think "no chance" should come into it, clear hand ball while trying to stop ball going into net.

It's different if it's trying to stop a winger crossing the ball.

Get in Lauren James

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 1:29 pm

Lauren James, again. 4-1

Again, first touch.

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Tue Aug 01, 2023 1:32 pm

Seen a sign in the crowd: Lauren James is better than Reece James.
