The Lionesses - England Football Team

Haiti getting away with one there, was a foul by Russo though.

[ch37]

Booked for a (nasty) challenge in the box but no penalty, that's a new one for me.

[Radec]

Deffo pen now.
Think I like having the ref mic'd up

[SydneyBridge]

That was a 100% penalty, strange to hear the ref speak..

Poo...

[Radec]

Lol never seen VAR used so much.

[ch37]

They need to announce the reason for the review, then the decision, otherwise it's a great idea.

54 minute first half after all those VAR's. England 1-0 up after the second-take of a penalty. Have to say the game is open and Haiti have had some chances to score...

The ball was already out of play because of the previous foul. But you can be booked even if the ball is not in play. You could get booked for something going down the tunnel at half time.

Should have been red. But a free kick to Haiti was the right decision. Emma Hayes said she didn't understand how the Haiti player could be booked for an incident after the foul!! What's she on about??? If you follow that thinking, Beckham should not have been sent off for kicking Simeone. England got the free kick, Beckham had already been fouled.

Yep, spot on. Decent idea and would also help those clubs that don't have a giant screen. Think it should/could be implemented ASAP in the Premier League here.

England had quite a few squeaky bum moments.
OK, a wins a win, but only by a lucky penalty retake.
( BBC reporting a lot of penalty misses so far in the finals)

Haiti could be this World Cup’s Morocco.

Why was the pen retake lucky? If the keeper stays on her line until the ball is kicked, she probably doesn't make the original save.

They will need to be better today. The match against Denmark kicks off at 9:30am and is live on BBC1.

Lionesses haven't scored a goal in open play in over 5 hours...! Come on girls

[pocketspring]

Amazing goal!

[rjfp1962]

What a goal from Lauren James - 1-0

[mick987]

A decent start, means they can control the pace of the game.

[rjfp1962]

The Lionesses have sharpened their claws for this one....!

[pocketspring]

Denmark seem to be a bit panicky when England attack.
