After listening to Bruce Mackevaney tonight I will never criticise the Kiwi A league commentators again.

He is frightful.

Heā€™s doing his best but heā€™s at least a decade past it. Them wheeling McAvaney out from wherever he was just goes to show how little football nous Channel 7 has on their books.

Iā€™m glad this match is the 3rd place and not the final.

I canā€™t imagine how disappointed it would feel to lose a World Cup Final being so easily defeated like this.

Finishing 3rd or 4th feels way better than finishing 2nd for me.

Iā€™m watching with some bandwagoners and they didnā€™t know until about the 20th minute that we werenā€™t the team in yellow. I shouldnā€™t have said anything. Ignorance is bliss

Spain would have creamed us and youā€™ll never convince me otherwise.

Weā€™ve completely wasted every single set piece this game.

If we weā€™re this tired probably. I think they have struggled a bit with more physical and bigger teams though. Could have been interesting.

Yep small mercies that we got an honourable defeat. The same 11 chasing after Spain making 5-600 passes per game in the showpiece would have been embarrassing

Yup. Really should be encouraged to carry the ball more in games. For someone who doesnt have that amazing acceleration she breezes by so many people when she does dribble.

Amazing that we both made the top 4 and consolidated 4th in Brisbane.

You can build a team around her and Fowler imo.

The three games weā€™ve lost at this tournament have been against teams that have played more physical football - Nigeria, England and Sweden. Theyā€™ve all been stronger on the ball and stronger challenging for the ball and we havenā€™t had answers for that.

Ireland were plenty physical.

Itā€™s not that.

And we scrapped away with a pen and never looked comfortable.
