UEFA European Women's Championship

[ElectroClaret]

Another England miss

[ElectroClaret]

Off the hook....?

[ElectroClaret]

Nope....

[Buxtonclaret]

Whats happening here!

[Goalposts]

Shocking penalties from both.. truly shocking

[TheFamilyCat]

This is laughably bad.

[IanMcL]

They j7st side foot it at no pace!

[Buxtonclaret]

Blimey.
And I'm bursting for a pee!

[wilks_bfc]

These penalties are shocking

[ClaretFelix]

It's painful. There's a clamour for equal recognition and commercial aspects of the women's game, but these ladies her tonight are really struggling to strike the ball. They're supposed to be professionals after all

[Goalposts]

Worst penalties in any form of the game I have ever seen

[IanMcL]

That has to be the worst set of penalties, at international level....ever.

[ElectroClaret]

England through, but don't ask me how....

[Lip]

That's 10 mins I won't get back.

[Tricky Trevor]

Better team lost. James played the whole game as though she didn’t want to be there and her pen was a pathetic back pass.

[Buxtonclaret]

Phew.

[Ric_C]

Ridiculous stuff

[TPClaret]

Obviously they’ve not practiced penalties. That was hilarious

[fidelcastro]

Simultaneously the best and worst penalty shootout I've ever seen!

Lauren Janes can kick like a mule but like every arrogant 'super player' she thinks she can just stroke the ball side-footed. Keeper sees it a mile away.

Hopeless all.

[CardyTheClaret]

They should be embarrassed celebrating that shoot out. Laughably poor.

[Bacchus]

Because she had lost her place to the footwork girl.

Footwork girl did okay there

[JR1882]

I don’t believe anyone who says they enjoy this, it’s like watching non league.

[Robbie_painter]

Pure comedy that shootout

[ElectroClaret]

Like Fred Karno's Circus that...

[dougcollins]

Fvck me, there were some terrible penalties in that lot.

[Goalposts]

I think Diana Ross took a better penalty in the World Cup in 94 than some of the professionals today

[boatshed bill]

I think England owe that win entirely to Chloe Kelly.

[TPClaret]

Can’t believe Swedish keeper was taking the one to win it. It was more like a rugby kick

[Somethingfishy]

That penalty shootout is quite probably the worst I have ever seen. In fact there is no quite probably about it.

[Elizabeth]

Lucy Bronze !!!!

[CrosspoolClarets]

Probably some of the worst penalties I’ve ever witnessed, so soft the keeper could re-adjust to save most of them (from both sides).

Special word for Lauren James - I’ve watched about 20 of her matches now, not a huge number I confess, and I can’t recall her ever impressing me. Isn’t she meant to be one of our best players?

On the flipside, Kelly and Bronze, unbelievable. Great talent. Great mentality.

[mkmel]

Terrible penalties.

And who is that commentator with the annoying voice?

Not one of the best, THE best footballer (not just women’s) apparently

[THEWELLERNUT70]

That penalty shootout was wild! I'm shouting at the tele hit it down the ******* middle. Thankfully Bronze struck gold !

[fidelcastro]

Terrible penalties.

Which one?

[Somethingfishy]

She's no better than Lionel Richie never mind Lionel Messi

[ElectroClaret]

Lucy Bronze and Kelly dragged em through.

[Somethingfishy]

At that point I was shouting for someone to just f****** leather it

[THEWELLERNUT70]

I was thinking more of the control and spotting of feet left in etc.

Fair enough, but 4 corners were incorrectly given as goal kicks, one clear elbow ignored, multiple freekicks given when either the ball was cleanly won or given the wrong way, got in the way of play twice nearly costing England a goal on one occasion ,booking a Sweden player when they clearly won the ball

Other than that, good game

[aggi]

Some shocking penalties there. At least Lucy Bronze knew how to take a penalty.

Certainly seems that just belting it into the goal has gone out of fashion for some reason.

[wilks_bfc]

She's no better than Lionel Richie never mind Lionel Messi

Not my statement, just something I saw posted earlier

[mkmel]

Which one?

The commentator with a high pitched screeching voice when it looks like a goal might be scored

[CoolClaret]

... can we at least stop being gaslit into thinking it's of good quality? It's a joke; these are well-paid professionals, and it's embarrassing that this is masqueraded as a high-level sport.

[fidelcastro]

That doesn't narrow it down!

I’m genuinely unaware as I don’t watch too much of it but are all the referees from the women’s game? I feel like if they want the best tournament then have the best refs including those from the men’s game too who all have a summer off with no euros/wc etc. They have male managers but do they draw the line at male refs?

Not being a d1ck I just don’t know how they organise it.

[Lu-tze]

Proper Michael Duff vibes on that Bronze pen!

Don’t look at the keeper- just leather it down the middle as hard as chuffing possible!

[boatshed bill]

Ref actually very good.

Well, at least she kept the game a bit entertaining.

Prem league next season then!

[NottsClaret]

I don’t know any of the stats behind this, but from watching 10 minutes of that, I’d suggest Lucy Bronze is possibly one of our best 5 penalty takers. What was she on, 7th or 8th?!
