Crucial tackle but hurt herself in the process.
WWC23 | England v Spain - Spain win the World Cup - and Rubiales gets sacked
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Fowler's positioning is fantastic and can hit a clean volley. Surprised how isolated Kerr has been.
France defending has been great so far.
France are growing here. Think they win it in ET
This game has penalties written all over it.
Famous last words, but neither team look like they could score in a month of Sundays.
Certainly nothing for England to fear. So watch us go and lose to Colombia.
But the team most enjoying this will be Spain, they'll have their feet up this weekend and planning their victory parade.

Been a game of 2 halves. France edge the first. Australia had most of the 2nd halve and should have scored a couple, they’ve had by far the easiest and best chances this game. Think Australia getting tired though will give France the victory.
a lot of them looking completely gassed, either a mistake goal or Pens.
Frustrating game this. A lot of talent out there but a strong sense that it'll be decided on an error.
No goal.
she dragged her down like a rag doll.
Clear compensation for that bogus corner 
She really didn't
Didn't see much foul.
France looking more likely to score.
It has nothing to do with the OG but it's a foul all day. We've seen it not called a lot of times of course.
And we've seen them completely ignored. The contact was minimum but I understand why it was disallowed, it shouldn't have been a corner
Those refs have no idea what a corner is
Very poor referee.
What a miss by Australia.
And that particular ref has the most punchable face in the women's game as well.
Give a bogus one and ignore a clear one
This is going to pens
Ella Toone starts for England, replaces the suspended Lauren James.
Ella Toone back in for Lauren James, as expected. She’s got to seize this opportunity, which she probably wouldn’t have got if James hadn’t had her moment of madness.
Disappointing that Zelem isn’t back in for Walsh. I felt she was very good against China and Walsh clearly wasn’t 100% against Nigeria.

Good save this
Agreed. It really shouldn’t as they’ve had some great chances but feels like the only way the ball is going in the net is through sheer luck.
This game has great intensity though!
What a chance
Will go to penalties. France should be disappointed if they lose on penalties. They missed few chances.
Australia are lucky with the decisions today. Could have easily been a penalty there
Should have been a pen
Easy decision tbh. They just flat out refused to give it
Always thought that France had a good squad but they have only made 1 sub in 120 minutes which seems mad
Wild card goalkeeper!
So Hervé Renard is doing a Louis van Gaal. Interesting.
Haha, they’re doing what we should have done in the Europa final (supposedly)
Thought she was going to give her French kiss. 
The pressure on the French keeper here
Another penalty shootout. Place your bets? Toss a coin?
Personally, I don’t think it puts pressure on the sub keeper. The keeper is never expected to save a penalty anyway. It’d be different if you subbed on a player to *take* a penalty.
Really poor penalty.
