Micky Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 Was quite impressed with us tonight. Thought our desire to get the ball back, our press and our tackling was first class. When we fouled, we fouled in good areas as well. Rode our luck a little in the first half, but overall we'll deserved result. 👏 well done the lionesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 What a performance. Not always at our best but after a slow start we found a couple of extra gears and put 4 past a very good Swedish side.

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 Couldn't have got off to a better start to the second half. Strong, directed downward header from Bronze, with Hemp onside and blocking some of the view for the keeper. But Sweden, like other teams against England, will look to their lack of finishing. They had a couple of good headed chances. At the other end Hemp missed a bit of a sitter, before Sweden had another good chance. England are among the most versatile teams in the tournament. They struggle with Walsh cut off. They can have issues with White closely marked. But Mead and Hemp in particular offer pace, strength and trickery. Stanway and Kirby offer attacking options and Daly's time as a forward enables her to pick out spaces for the attackers. England have strengths across the team. So, if one approach fails they can find a way round it. Russo delivered again from the bench. Involved from the second she came on, getting a clever back heeled third. The Swedish keeper will not look back on the game fondly, with Russo's effort going through her legs. She should have got more on Kirby's goal, a chip that she got hands to, but couldn't keep out. Her positioning for the first wasn't the best either. By that stage England were in control. Kelly offers plenty of attacking threat, coming on late. Each of the subs did well, in controlling the game to the end. 4-0 might seem flattering, but England had to dig in early and work hard. The scoreline reflects how, unlike other teams here, how unpredictable they can be, offering threats from different areas. They will have to still work at stopping opponents getting clear chances, particularly early in the game. Looking forward to seeing if it's a final against Germany or France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 26 July, 2022 Share Posted 26 July, 2022 Well I watched this game and I have to say that England looked a lot better than the previous game. I did actually enjoy it more than I thought I would do. Some of the keeping was terrible and the commentary and pundits afterwards were ridiculous hyping it up out of all proportion which ruined some of it for me but overall that was an improvement.

I disagree. Firstly the keeper's view was blocked by her own defender and despite it being a back-heel there was a bit of pace on the ball. Also the keeper's feet were some way apart, which is the correct starting position, she was just unlucky/England were lucky that the ball went right between them. We see PL keepers concede goals that go through their legs week in week out and it's not classed as an error. Having said that she made a right mess of the fourth. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frantic start from Sweden and they were exploiting the space well down the left. Got a bit lucky with the header off the bar. England came back into it though and got a great goal from Beth Mead. Could hear the roar from my living room. weird how you only posted once when you were waxing lyrical about a game not involving england the other day. Maybe seeing what Gemma and Luca were getting up to on Love Island distracted you?

I enjoyed it again, but some of the reaction to the third goal is crazy, "best goal you'll ever see" LOL. It trickled through the keepers legs, sort of goal you'd be disappointed if an under 8s keeper let in.

One of the women pundits was saying something like "pinch me is this real?" which given that we had been in two semis and a final 13 years ago is a bit of a ridiculous thing to say. Saying things like "absolutely everyone is talking about this the country is going to be insane." None of that is true. I'm really pleased they are doing well and it would be great if they win it but overstating the achievement and the level of interest just makes it seem like they have been told to do that by the BBC.

A hyperbolic media is definitely one of the most frustrating aspects of modern culture. Personally, I can forgive them this time. It wasn’t just the result, but that they’d thrashed the second ranked team in the world, in a home tournament, to play a major final at Wembley, in front of crowds they’d only dreamed of before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I just wish they'd applaud the result without pretending its something its not. It actually devalues the real achievements. The exact same when they compare records between the women's and men's games. Celebrate the achievement for what it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw it with the guys, unfortunately they couldn’t get it over the line. They’re heroes. The parents, the brothers, the mums and dads to take those girls, who they didn’t even know could become professional players, to the pinnacle of achievement that is going to be amazing. I think they have won already. It’s quite outstanding. I can't put it into words. Heroes they are, or maybe heroines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
