Got to agree. An England player saying recently they aren't underdogs but for me they are massive underdogs.
They'll certainly have to perform better than they did against Sweden and Italy. Thought they were quite poor in those games.

But at least they showed the grit and determination
to come back, hopefully they can improve.

Wouldn’t she be one of the first names on any team sheet, even in the men’s game?

Most skilful English player with bullet shot. Sadly, she knows it and coasts for large parts.

She shouldn't be playing then. I've been shocked at her apparent lack of interest. Get the two subs on at half time and go for it otherwise it's 3-0 Spain

Given how Kelly has been playing it seems strange to start a not fully fit James.

Going to be dangerous as we push further up for a goal. Spain look like they'll be able to exploit that .

The girl who replaced the big, experienced woman (can't remember names) when the big girl with 100 caps dropped out, is too small snd not that positionally clever.

Pity to be picking holes when they are in the final, however, it's what we do.

Joining you from Belfast hotel bedroom whilst Mrs T gets ready for tonights gig.
Why in heavens name has James started the last 3 games? She is not Messi. We played with 10 that half.
Lucy Bronze terrible ball watching for their goal.
Why are European teams so much better than us at keeping a move giing by passing in the penalty area?
We aren't beat yet.
Will comms please identify players by the name on their jersey. It sounds at times like Spain have XV out there.

Basically it was like playing with 10 against a team that with 11 players fully on it you’d have your work cut out.
Wasted a substitution now
I feel like Stanway is playing unfit too
Has to be Agyemang and 442 now replacing 1 of the 3 midfielders
Mead will likely improve the midfield too

Millie Bright dropped out
Assuming you mean Williamson or Carter
I think it’s likely Carter that you mean and she is struggling but gives 100%
Williamson the Blond girl has been out of position a lot this tournament
I think the level has gone up and our established players are a little bit behind the standard required
In the final though so?
