Of course the other team are going to have chances, particularly when trying to get back into the game late on. But we controlled the game from the start and finished with absolutely zero pressure on us due to the third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 England triumphant! A World Cup Final awaits. A nation awaits. Our midfield put in a better shift tonight and it helped to dictate the game for long periods. Ella Toone finally broke out and hit a great goal - just reward for some less obvious work and effort. This team can really get a grip on a game and with such ability to win posession, keep posession and make advances with a variety of different methods. With a fairly comfortable first half and a lead, we couldn't keep Sam Kerr under control all game and she finished with a typical piece of magic. However, it was only one moment and she had two clear chances later that should have hit the net. We were a tad fortunate to conceed just the one - it could have been a much different narrative. Fine margins. Earps was alert enough to stop the one low, late effort and Carter was first to clear the loose ball. Another good performance by the defence. I thought Lauren Hemp was immense tonight. We all knew she had speed and talent on the ball from her seasons at City but she has added a strength and physical application to her game. She's not the biggest but she can now mix it with most opponents - a Maradona-esque stature if you will. She was a great outlet, a constant threat all across the top line - particularly when in the middle with Russo - but can now close down and trouble the opposition when out of posession. That was how she picked the pocket of the covering defender for her goal, which came at a vital time. She was player of the match by a good margin. So will Weigman keep the same starting eleven? She has the reuptation of not being the Tinkerwoman, but will Lauren James be reprieved? Spain are a tough nut to crack but will be watching us with concern.

Those Aussie fans went straight into silent mode each time we took the lead.

Earpsie's great, if she can get a hand or foot to it. But at 5'8" (according to wiki) there's a lot of goal to aim at.
