The Lionesses - England Football Team

[rjfp1962]

Denmark are starting to play a bit.. Missed some good chances.

England need to tighten their defence.

Really don't like how the England women have adopted the England men's habit of needlessly pratting about with the ball in their own half.

Always incredibly impressed with the lack of rolling around. It's actually quite jarring compared to the men's game.

You tend not to roll around for the bad injurys, hope that's not as serious as it look.

Keira Walsh being stretchered off isn't good.. As soon as she went down she signalled it was bad

[ch37]

BBC rolling up with green screen tech from the 90s here. Looks awful!

Lionesses need to play the last 25 minutes or so of this match like they played the first 20/25 minutes of the first half.

[Ronstein]

Why is Millie Bright still on the pitch? She's been awful in both games and obviously lacks any match fitness!

[rjfp1962]

Denmark pushing now...

Lionesses hold on in the end, but ultimately unconving in the end...

Through, but will get much tougher opposition going forward in the tournament..

Not sure if it's injuries or confidence (or both) but they are currently a shadow of the team they were a year ago. Complete confidence in them winning not so long ago, now it's very tricky to see them passing some of the better opposition in the knockout stages.

They were ball-chasing in defence instead of keeping their shape. Female pundit on there was bloody awful, meaningless dribble.

She must be on PH... toned her garb down a lot today.

Just seen an ITV English reporter say that Keira Walsh has not got an ACL injury but will miss the next match .

Some good news .

Oh god.. is she still alive...

So.. I always end up at these competitions pretty uniformed... top five teams are:
1)usa 2)germany 3)sweden 4)england 5)france

Ppl think we're not as good as last year? Some bad holes in the defence from the highlights.. I think we'd prob lose to the usa if we had to play them right now. Maybe the girls will 'warm up' as the rounds progress..

[Benji2]

Hehe my darling Alex... she's so wonderful

[rjfp1962]

They kick-off against China at 12pm in their final group stage game - Live on ITV1. Apparently at least a draw is required, to stop abacus-level of maths being adopted if they lose....!

[dieselgrunt]

Little chance of that I think !

[rjfp1962]

That's more like it
