Midlands Robin Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Too much farting around at the back by England in that half. We don't like teams running directly at us.

pikeysrobins Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Think Bronze was at fault to a large degree. However, she got herself into a position to pass and then if you look the referee stands in the way of the pass - she hestitates - then loses the ball. Spain have been great in all areas but especially in not allowing England time on the ball which other teams have allowed up to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but maybe just a few small adjustments, we’ve had great chances and will after the break, it’s going to be close but hopefully our extra experience as the game gets in the latter stages will see us convert our chances.
