The womens world cup

C’mon girls, do it for the boys

Another nice goal that with more poor defending

I hope somebody two foots the oxf*rd out of her for that pisstake tea drinking celebration.

[Ascotexgunner]

Awful defending again. Their positional sense is hopeless.

Or slaps her round the face...

Alex Scott >>> Alex Morgan

[The Enfield Royal71]

Annoying but that was correct decision. I wouldnt have moaned if the proverbial shoe was on the proverbial other foot.

[The Enfield Royal71]

Wow. Talk about bottling a chance to get back into it. Utterly abysmal penalty. Passed it to the keeper ffs.

[BR0B0T]

boooOOOOoooOOOOooOOOOooo!!

[6ft Kerplunk]

Shame but USA were by far the better team tonight.

[Libertine]

Entertaining game. England had their chance to level. Surprised that the effort from Houghton was so poor, because she is such a very good player. The Lionesses should not have their heads in their hands. They are an outstanding team that pushed the US to the brink. Of course I am very happy but I won't be celebrating here...

Piss off yank

Tbf we will let you have this. We are better at every other sport apart from rugby with pads and nobody cares about that.

I thought it was good banter.

[Royal Rother]

Jeez, if a central defender is going to take a penalty the least they can do is give it a fcuking good whack.

Shame, but we were 2nd best in most departments.

[Jackson Corner]

Same old England men or women we are a nation of losers. Mentally weak happy to be plucky losers instead of arrogant winners. Germany USA and Australia all arrogant big heads all winners. They don’t care what people think of them as long as they win. If you want to make friends go down the pub. We turn up to major tournaments hoping to win the others expect to win.

will be the same with the cricket team and the rugby later in the year. Just failure after failure I don’t why we even bother. If they gave world cups to making money then the FA RFU ECB and LTA would all have multiple stars above there badges.

[Silver Fox]

At least you're not going to overreact

Finally got drawn in last night, thought it was pretty average fare really, although Lucy Bronze does seem to have decent ball skillz, appaling positioning though. As Glen Little said on twitter, can you imagine England getting a penalty in a World Cup semi and Harry Kane saying to Harry Maguire "you have it", madness.

[Ascotexgunner]

Reminded me of England men 2002 to 2016.
When it matters the "legends" and "World Class" players like "Lamps", "Stevie G", "Becks" that fans hold up so highly fail to put their foot on the ball and have an inability to pass it 5 yards when it really matters.
I couldnt believe what I was watching last night. Couldnt pass, dribble, head the ball, or even hit a clean penalty......Wonder what it is with England players that they lack? Is it a mentality issue?

[Silver Fox]

BTW are people genuinely upset with Alex Morgan's celebration or is it just half witted melts on social media?

[genome]

More bemused by the US thinking it was the height of banter, whereas it made most English people go

[The Enfield Royal71]

I think it was absolutely disgraceful and a pisstake and I dont see why nobody two footed her after that

You dont see ellen white score and then pretending to be fat/racist/kill a person with a gun like an American

[Sanguine]

Quite. So she pretended to drink tea. Because we're English. It's not offensive, or threatening, it's cheeky and wasn't directed at England fans but just a nod to who she had scored against. Pathetic reaction to it.

As for Houghton, it's overlooked that she is one of a free-kick takers, has taken penalties for City, and has been practicing penalties in training as backup to Parris. It was a poor effort, but a little silly to ask 'why did she take it?'
