Lionesses

[Birches Head Fred]

Oh no, another thread being taken over by the ‘no such thing as legitimate offence’ brigade. Can we leave Scottish journalists and the Telegraph out of this?

I only said "Good luck to the Lionessess tonight "

Having their first proper test tonight. Had a couple of moments themselves, mind.

That was tough on the Spaniards but don’t care!!!!

That win was reminiscent of last season's (and this coming) Vale team!

Really dug a win out of a very tough game.

Keeper should have saved the winner. It was a well struck shot but was neither high or near the corner.

I blame Covolan

Not sure she could have saved that. It was a cracking shot. We dug in against a excellent opposition. Well done ladies

I agree, it was a big step up in quality. Spain very skilled, but England dug in and ground out a win.

2nd best for a lot of the game but the substitutes really made a difference.
Unstoppable goal to win it and excellent game management to shut the game out.

Not sure about that. I think the keeper was partly unsighted.

In any case it was a great game, which I couldn't see England winning prior to the equaliser.

Found a way to win after being 2nd best is a good sign clearly. Just wish the comparison and critics of England men would shut up.

Zero shots on target first half , Southgate would of been hung drawn and quartered for that .

Poor first half but change in shape and substitutions made the difference.Still need to improve considerably on the heading side of the game though.
