WBA and Everton switched to their second kits for the 1968 FA Cup Final, WBA played in white with red socks and Everton yellow shirts and socks with blue shorts. Although it didn't really matter as the vast majority watched it in black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Great half and great goal again. As you would expect from a team that hasn't lost in 34 games (excluding penalty shoot outs) Sweden are dangerous but we just have to keep our concentration and control. Once again I counted zero passes from Keira Walsh that did not find an England shirt.

Never really watched womens football before this tournament, and only watched the England games, but the standard is decent. Daly another who looks very accomplished.

Erithacus Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 A testing start for England: the Swedes had a solid gameplan and were quicker to the ball at first. They took teh Spaniards' approach and shut down Stanway and Walsh. Without those two in the midfield working there was no real punch and we were on the back foot. However, the England girls are able to build momentum as the game goes on and took back control. As they do. Good to see Kirby popping up in awkward areas and influencing play. Hemp has had a little more success and is causing the opponents to keep their guard up. Mead's touch and finish were class and came at a time when the Swedish side had started to look a little lost for ideas. They had a few good chances early but did not capitalise. Having gone a goal down (arguably against the run of play) they now have to change the focus. Will that open up some more channels? Either way, the onus is on them and we'll see if England have the nous to pick holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden like Spain did are trying to deny her space but when she gets on the ball she uses it so well. In her quiet way I think she is one of our key players she just doesn't get the attention the attacking players do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to expect it at all. Don’t think it’s a fluke. The skill was amazing. As a keeper, you’d be getting ready for the next phase of the attack. Even by remote chance you were expecting a back heel, the most difficult ball to stop is between the legs. As near perfect a back- heel as I’ve ever seen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
