England v Nigeria WWC

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 9:00 am

Nearly half an hour gone 0-0, not a brilliant start from the Lionesses. Lucky when Nigeria hit the bar.

Peno England.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 9:03 am

Penalty for England for a push.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 9:04 am

VAR cancelled.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 9:04 am

No penalty

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 9:05 am

Got away with it.

Another scandalous VAR decision.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 9:05 am

I presume as soon as you foul a player outside the box then any further fouls inside the box are null and void.

Nigeria look a decent team.

She hasn’t given a foul outside the box otherwise we’d have a free kick outside the box.

Never a penalty ,VAR got it right. England are crap and should be losing.

England =Tempo too slow

Wasn't that the same situation with Kane against France in that they looked at the penalty which wasn't given?

As no free-kick was awarded when Kane was originally fouled outside the box they couldn't go back and give that as the ref hadn't blown for a foul at that point, and VAR can't intervene in any freekicks that aren't a penalty.

0-0 at HT. Good battle that could go either way.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 9:26 am

Why does comms say,”England saved by the bar”?
It missed and was covered by Earps if it had been lower.

Playing it up to Russo is like playing wallie. It just bounces back off her.

When they have a keeper coming for every corner try something different.

Nigeria hit the bar again

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:01 am

Nigeria are stronger and quicker than us.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:03 am

It's pretty poor stuff from England, need to get on the front foot and take it to Nigeria.

Inching towards extra time.

Great save from the keeper to deny England.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:09 am

Think thats the closest we've been.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:11 am

80 gone and we are flagging.
Defo Kelly for Hemp and as well as Walsh has played I’d be getting Coombs on for her.

Nigerian keeper has had to make three decent saves so far this game.

They’ll be a few people enjoying this and drafting up their “told you so” posts

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:12 am

This is like watching England's mens team. Can see there is quality there but sloppiness and a slow tempo are making it easy for the opposition.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:12 am

I think we'll be glad of injury time.

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:14 am

Should be a red for that in this day and age.

Will be a red,surely.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:16 am

Well that was silly from James

It’s gone to VAR for Red review

That was just stupid.

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:16 am

Stupid from James.Hero one game, villain the next. Reminds me of Beckham against Argentina.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:16 am

What a very stupid thing to do.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:16 am

A Beckham moment. Petty because she’s had a crap match.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:16 am

She's played badly.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:17 am

Beckhamesque

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:18 am

None of em have excelled, apart from the keeper.

Hopefully this will spur them on to take the game to Nigeria. Already looking more up for the fight since the red card.

frustration but only one team deserves to win and alas that isn't .........

evensteadiereddie · Post by **evensteadiereddie** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:20 am

A petty, pointless stamp.
England haven't enough drive, strength or guile to beat the Nigerians.
No complaints whatsoever.

Out of tournament with a 3 game ban.
Wonder what the **** headline will be in the morning? Not the sh1t Beckham got I’m sure.

Just want England to lose sooooooooooooooooo much as last week i saw on the BBC Englands route to the final and someone said " England will play the final in Sydney " ..........

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:22 am

Genuinely think we are playing better now than we have all game...

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:23 am

Serious question.
Do they say, “man on”

Guess the best chance for England is to do it in the ninety minutes

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:26 am

Comms saying Nigeria have had the better of the chances. Although they hit the bar twice, both Covered, Earps hasn’t had a serious save to make. Their keeper has made 3 vital saves.

wilks_bfc · Post by **wilks_bfc** » Mon Aug 07, 2023 10:26 am

Extra time it is then

Do we go for it in the 30 or try hold on for pens?
