Watching England (Ladies) playing Spain.

On Eurosport 2 TV

England leading 1-0 Should be 2-0

Good Game

 

Good game and a good goal disallowed, England scored after 2 mins then defended for 82 mins before getting the second goal, in between Spain were awarded a pen then the ref changed her mind, though in my opinion it would have been a harsh pen, the ball hit the girls knee, then she slipped, its natural when you slip over that your arms go up, the ball did hit her hand but no way was it intentional.

Pretty passing in the midfield wins you nothing whether Spain 'outplayed' England in that area or not. Personally I wouldn't call it that at all, you could argue England kept them at arms length pretty well as they knew passing the ball around in those areas was no threat as long as they defended well. How many shots on goal did the England goalkeeper have to save? 1 or 2. That's what matters and our girls put the ball in the net twice to their zero. Very professional display!

 

Well done to the cricketers too, great comeback win when India looked the favourites for a good proportion of the game!

This is just my opinion of course but one of the main reasons the Spanish passing came to nothing was that they had no forwards worthy of the name. The real test will come when we meet a side that can keep possession and have goals in the side. Most people were thinking this would be the French but, looking at the way they're misfiring at present, they are going to have to work hard to qualify for the knock-out stages. Germany are also below par at the moment, so it's looking good for us!

England won that game the way Leicester won the title - forget about possession stats, just put the ball in the net. Our keeper had very little to do in spite of all the Spanish possession - barely called on the make a worthwhile save in the whole game. Two games, 8 goals, 2 clean sheets. Great stuff.

Agree there, luckily Spain didn't appear to have anyone who looked like scoring in attack or even fashioning a chance. The England girls are finishing well to their credit. As much as there is more to being a striker than just shooting I always judge attackers on their ability to bury a one on one first and foremost and fair play England have done it with aplomb so far. There are players in the mens game who could take a leaf out of their book in the composure stakes when clean through on goal.

The bigger tests will of course come when teams defend well against us and they have to fashion chance more out of nothing but good luck to them!

I must admit that I was concerned about us keeping the ball up front,reminded me of the Vale at times?However,great credit to England

for holding out and getting the points.

The main difference for the Vale was to have to contend with long range shots, to our cost, which did not happen with Spain`s shooters.
