Farlz Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Not a great performance but Haiti were actually very impressive. Feel like our defence could be exploited later in the tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanbee Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 That was shocking. Credit to Haiti but really, this should have been a comfortable win for England. We look rusty and lacking cohesion. Seriously worried about that defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Whenever I watch Daly for England the service to her is nowhere near as good as it is when she's playing for us, for us there's lots of passing and movement in and around the box and well worked team goals, whereas when she plays for England all they seem to do is hit long crosses hoping she get an headed shot towards goal.

Definitely. One of the reasons Daly has been so good for us is her link up with Kenza Dali. She doesn't have that understanding with any of the England players.

useless Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Looking forward to watching Dali play tomorrow, hopefully she gets a start, so far Leat, Lehmann, Nobbs, and Daly, have all been on the bench. Not sure how good Jamaica are but they did beat Haiti 4-0 last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be exposed in the knock outs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a lot to expect her to just be up to speed straight away, probably shouldn't have even been in the squad really but I suppose we needed the experience with Williamson out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper set up rather than just an egotostical ref like we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Only just realized Diana Silva playing for Portugal is the same Diana Silva that played for us, always thought it was strange she didn't play more as when she did play she looked quite good at a time when our attacking options weren't great at all, not sure how good Portugal league is but apparenlty has scored 26 in 30 for Sporting Lisbon since leaving us.

Lichfield Dean Posted July 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2023 Netherlands player not offside, despite standing virtually on the goal line and the ball crossing in front of her. Now, I'm not arguing that it should be offside here, but I am arguing that this is probably the second goal I've seen so far that has been allowed when Villa have had multiple goals ruled out for far less. I wish I understood the offside rule... It makes me always feel really stupid when I have no idea what call is going to be made by the officials.
