Martin in charge of Portugal ladies now?

This is why women’s football is a bit of a joke. Let’s be honest it was a scuffed finish and a goalkeeping error yes it’s made out to be some magnificent finish 😂😂😂

Brilliant half from England.

Portugal set up to be compact, and take advantage through the centre. England straight out the blocks, beat them on both flanks, with Hemp turning her marker on a few occasions. Portugal forced back and to play out, which got them in lots of trouble, as defensive and midfield lines had so little space between them to get it clear.

England's movement (from a team with lots of experience with each other and on field leadership), and one touch passing were things Portugal just couldn't cope with. Great to watch. Try to cope with Hemp just left space behind. Pushing up, meant England put direct balls over the top. Tuck in, and England were back to getting crosses in.

Top stuff. At 5-0, Bronze was making lung bursting runs from wing back positions. They didn't let up and had far too much energy for Portugal.

Cracking performance, with both sides missing some regular starters. Beever-Jones, only in because Russo isn't fully fit, involved in all 5 goals.

Credit where it’s due the 6th was a good goal 

It sure was. Excellent Greenwood pass.

England's passing undid Portugal, along with their work rate, and positioning. Different class. Portugal would have been relieved to see Hemp go off, only for it to be Kelly coming on. England still have some good options from the bench.

Always good to see a Le Tissier in an England shirt too.

Nope, no relation. The first thing I did when I saw her playing for Brighton, was do a Google search. 🙂

But every time I've seen her for England, I'm always going to think of Matt's internationals, always followed by a "stupid Hoddle" 🙂

It's a shame really when you see the news article from a while back about what a young female relation of his is actually up to. Shameful.

Oh is she not actually a blood relative? I just remember seeing the articles and wanting to tear my eyes out. 

Mitchell’s wife if it’s what you’re talking about
