They isolated White and double marked Mead which nullified most of our attacking threat.

Spain have allowed themselves to become rattled kicking off about that non-foul during the goal. Northern Ireland manager was spot on about women footballers allowing themselves to get too emotional, we need to try and take advantage.

Earps has got a cracking pair of...gloves.

Fuck are these cunts moaning about?

Fucking get in there!!!!

Honestly don't know. Alex Greenwood is a left back on the bench, she was injured up until just before the tournament I believe and Daly has looked fine so far. But she should have been subbed long ago in this match, she's getting torn apart.

Doesn't help that you have a striker playing at left back for England. Can get away with that when you're the mismatched favourites but when actual proper defending is required...imagine if Southgate suddenly picked Rashford at left back. That's essentially what's happening with Daly here.

Exactly. They've clearly given away shit loads of tickets that aren't being used...again.

Gabby Logan just described this game as another sell out...you just look like an idiot calling it that. There might not have been anymore tickets available, but it clearly didn't "sell out".

Is giving game time/match fitness to players that will be in the under 23s once the season starts really more important than getting our first choice players to gel and learn each others style of play?

Weird thing to claim as it's not even true, Liverpool have auctioned off player NFTs. The whole things a scam for idiots.

It's funny how these joint-stats only started when it looked like Ellen White was going to overtake Rooney's goals tally. Kane will inevitably overtake her so at that point will they stop describing her as top English goalscorer or will they go back to separating it? You have to wonder who they're making these comparisons for, you look at the comments under the posts and every single person is telling to to stop being so ridiculous.

Whatever the reasons, it's a piss take that so many seats were empty when there were people that couldn't get tickets. Just turned onto Denmark V Spain, decent standard in this game too.

@cloggy saint who has reacted with a confused face to this post...it's embarrassing because people like me who actually wanted to go were unable to because it was shown as sold out because they'd sent out freebie tickets to people that didn't even bother going in the end.

I tried to get tickets ages ago and it was listed as sold out. Then more came online...then sold out again. But as you say there were huge blocks left empty. I can only imagine they were tickets sent out to schools or some such which weren't used. Bit embarrassing really.

Made me laugh that Dave Watson described McCarthy as a "natural catcher of a football". Scraping the barrell for compliments there. https://www.hampshirelive.news/sport/football/football-news/southampton-alex-mccarthy-fraser-forster-7317334

Anyone else having issues booking tickets through the website for the Leeds game? Everytime I click buy tickets it links me to the "buy a membership" page, despite the fact I already have a membership and the tickets are supposed to be general sale anyway.

That's why loans exist.

As if someone was listening...

I'd actually completely forgot about Lavia. I do disagree that Winks isn't a Saints signing though, I'd put him firmly in the Bertrand, Romeu and KWP category of underappreciated player at a top 6 club that could be available for a knock down price. Romeu will also inevitably drop his levels in the next few seasons. But yeah, with Lavia you're probably right...I still don't see us letting Diallo go without someone else coming in though.

Only if he's better than Diallo, which from what I've heard from those who've seen him and the clips/stats available online Im not confident about.

I have no idea, but if we're open to moving Diallo on permanently we must be looking at someone else coming in.

With the 5 subs rule I think it's the perfect position to be spending money on a back up. It's a high intensity position and after JWP and Romeu there is a sharp drop off in quality.I think it's more likely to be a loan to buy anyway.

In the sense that I think he's a better player.

He wouldn't be signing as a starter. I think he'd be a big upgrade on Diallo.
