Come on you Lionesses!!

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:08 am

I’m hoping for a performance. Been bloody dreadful and lucky to get to the semifinals.

Need to recapture the form from the euros

Hemp fires straight to the goalie

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:11 am

Should be 1 up.

aggi · Post by **aggi** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:13 am

A few early reducers on Sam Kerr.

Yellow for Greenwood, cynical foul.

Goobs · Post by **Goobs** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:31 am

This ref is giving nothing to England

And everything to the Aussies… almost as if an Aussie win is what they want

The referee is a joke .Decisions going against the Lionesses so far.

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:37 am

Brilliant goal. 1-0 to us

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:37 am

Belter.

Goobs · Post by **Goobs** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:37 am

Get in

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:37 am

Brilliant finish!

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:38 am

I’m amazed at how many foul throws are being taken by the Aussies

Clovius Boofus · Post by **Clovius Boofus** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:39 am

Cracking shot/goal.

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:42 am

England totally dominating possession. Just need to one of the final balls to be better weighted and we will be away

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:42 am

Much better performance overall from England today compared to the rest of the tournament. Hopefully coming good at the perfect time.

Absolutely. Much better in these first 45 mins

Aphex · Post by **Aphex** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:49 am

Winning 1 0 despite playing 12. The ref will find a way to get Australia back into this in 2nd half.

TheOriginalLongsider · Post by **TheOriginalLongsider** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:52 am

Much better. Hemp is some player but several of them playing blinders today.

CoolClaret · Post by **CoolClaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:52 am

The quality between the top women’s teams and the lesser in the tournament is really staggering.

The top teams have come on leaps and bounds - hopefully some of the other nations can make similar progress.

Tuned in and it’s a good game so far.
Good stuff

DAVETHEVICAR · Post by **DAVETHEVICAR** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:55 am

As everyone says the referee is a joke and totally biased to the Aussies. We have to make sure in our defensive half we don’t give the referee a chance to give a free kick or penalty.
Another early goal would be a big boost

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 11:57 am

Hemp has grown into the tournament and has been excellent today.
Carters lack of pace is my concern but so far so good.
Bronze isn't the player she was.
Cracking goal.

Toone Army

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:14 pm

Nearly two. Another 'll finish em off, i reckon.

BleedingClaret · Post by **BleedingClaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:17 pm

Ref worries me
Hemp had 10 ankle taps nothing
Australia getting everything

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:20 pm

Sam Kerr take a bow…

1-1

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:20 pm

Rats.

....but absolutely brilliant shot.

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:20 pm

What a goal!

I guess that’s why she’s the best player in the world

Hibsclaret · Post by **Hibsclaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:21 pm

Just what the ref ordered

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:21 pm

Without the deflection I don’t think that would have gone in

jos · Post by **jos** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:21 pm

own goal

Did Southgate give a team talk at half time

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:22 pm

Russos first touch, shocking. I commented on it last match.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:23 pm

Great shot,deserved goal.

Very poor defending from Bright

Rick_Muller · Post by **Rick_Muller** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:28 pm

2-1 to us - get in

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:28 pm

Whoooooo.
2-1us.

Think the Aussies were still celebrating their goal.

Well deserved

Clovius Boofus · Post by **Clovius Boofus** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:30 pm

Route one proves their (Aus) undergoing. Fully deserved. Didn't let their heads drop.

HahaYeah · Post by **HahaYeah** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:30 pm

Defender couldn't deal with it.

No Ney Never · Post by **No Ney Never** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:36 pm

Three good goals in this match so far, thoroughly enjoying it.

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:36 pm

The Aussies will be hoping for rain and a draw.

Couple more wickets and it will be over by tea

Caballo · Post by **Caballo** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:38 pm

Aussies rolling the dice

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:39 pm

Home crowd very subdued

They need to show a bit of passion, lob a couple of ecigs at a player head or something

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:40 pm

Phew!

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:42 pm

Aussies knocking at the door

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Wed Aug 16, 2023 12:43 pm

Could we sign the Oz girl to take corners? They are beauts.
