Popular Post useless Posted July 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2022 Jill Scott was good when she came on, kept the ball well, made some good passes, and won it off the oppositoin on several occasions, she gave away a few free-kicks, but they were on occasions where it was better to give away a free-kick rather than let Germany break. I don't know how anyone can use her contribution as a negative, she came on and did a good job of helping England close down the game. Today's perforance wasn't typical of England's performances so far in the competition, but that's okay, they did what they had to do on the day, if Villa were to reach a final playing great football up until that point then had to put in a more battling performance in the final to win then I wouldn't be complaining or comparing whoever the manager was to Southgate. This was England's best international footballing achievement since 66 World Cup, who cares how they won the final. And there were still lots of moments of entertaining football, especially in the first half, wil rarely see a goal as good as Eila Toone's in any game of football. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted July 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2022 They were rocking a bit in the second half, when Germany went for it and seized the momentum. BUT... if that had been the men's team, heads would have dropped, they'd have been thinking "Oh, no, here we go, we're going to lose this now". But the thing with this women's team - and Wiegmann must take much of the credit - is that yes, they can turn it on and swagger when they're on top, but more importantly, they dig in when they're under the cosh, they don't fold. Sure, they had to ride their luck a bit, but was that never-say-die mindset that got them through. Now let's take it to the Yanks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did love his passion but did feel he was going over board. Not with what he was saying just time and place. He said his piece and rightly so but then turned every question about praise of them back around. I suppose what better place to say it than when it’s being watched by millions after a win. Delighted for the team and even more so for the little girls watching that will be inspired by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 31, 2022 She must be a great psychological motivator. She's turned Mary Earps into a confident goalkeeper, she kept faith with Daly after her nightmare against Spain, she didn't sub Stanway (until very late on) even though she was on a yellow and Oberdorf was winding her up, and so on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact she’s now won 2 home championships, with all the expectation and pressure that comes with is an incredible personal achievement. I think it says a lot about her character. Even players that didn’t get any game time in these championships were jumping all over her at the final whistle, she is obviously well liked within the group. I read an article about her on the BBC the other day (apologises I can’t find it now) with interviews from people that know her. She got a gig as a coach at a Dutch mens team and the bloke that managed them (apologises again for not remembering the team or it’s manager at the time) said that he really believes that she would be a great manager for Dutch mens team. She seems incredibly well regarded in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would bra removal be an automatic red, and would it still be worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Wow. What a day for England Women! I've been watching their games since 2011, with the disappointment of three semi-final exits in a row before this tournament. Strangely, about a week ago when I was day dreaming about the final I decided I'd like Chloe Kelly to score the winner in extra-time... and she did! I'm so pleased for her. : > And what a goal that first goal was! What an amazing long pass from Keira Walsh and what an amazing lob from Ella Toone !
