SF: Australia vs England

3 players around her and no one gets near in the box.

You’re going to get caught out eventually if you forfeit possession and invite them into your box.

Well taken goal but shite defending

We look cooked mentally and physically

Getting absolutely killed in midfield.

Ironically if we’re going to play this deep and just give the ball back we probably would have been better off with EvE just occupying a passing lane in midfield!

I think from now on when a cross is aimless and completely un-threatening I’m going to refer to it as a “Cooney” cross.

Their keeper takes about 30 seconds each time she catches the ball and the ref is happy to indulge her

Annoyingly we were looking okay for the ten minutes before the goal, forcing England to slow down and pass it around in front of us. It took a throw in for them to get a chance in a promising position and they just happened to capitalise. Unfortunately we’re really going to have to open up now to pull one back.

Absolutely just played into what they want. Tony has to go legit front 3 and drop Fowler into mf to avtually get on the ball.

Was just checking a WC thread on a Liverpool forum I read and there was someone on there complaining that the ref hadn’t been giving us yellows. The English…

Does feel like we’ve played our final. Completely over run in midfield and no service to Kerr or Fowler. Don’t think the two work great as a front line and need someone as more of a ten

Righto TG.

If you’ve got a plan to make this team function with Sam Kerr on the pitch - now is the time…

I’m disappointed we havent done anything to deserve a yellow. Theyve been dropping us left, right and centre, given away a card, but we’re backing out of 50/50 challenges.

We need to be harder this half. Play a little more dirty, give away some cynical free kicks, maybe a yellow card or two.

Can’t help but feel the Poms have us worked out here. They clatter us on the transition to stop us breaking and starve us of possession. We’ll start getting leggy in the second half too. Not hopeful.

Mary playing behind Sam as a 10 much of the time but outnumbered with KCC and Gorry so deep. Our strongest threats Caitlin Hayley Sam not getting near the ball in their half. Toby G will have to fix that .

Foord has touched the ball maybe twice in their half? Hope he has a plan to change that.

Is the crowd noise in the stadium as quiet as it seems on the broadcast?

About in line with the noise at the pub.
