[Sarge]

big question mark over whether England centre back pairing will play in tonights match

Houghton carrying an injury from late in the game V Cameroon, while Bright has been suffering from a sickness bug

 

[Sarge]

A place in the semi finals awaits ... If the Lionesses can progress tonight

 

[Sarge]

Come on you Lionesses

Need to play at their best for 90mins and not just 20 if we're going to progress.

 

[SteMerritt]

Flying start, 1-0 England 2mins, fantastic work down the right.

Great Scott!

I just wish they would pass to team mates rather than vague areas of the pitch where they think someone should be.

Get in! Shows what I know.

 

[Yellow Hoods]

A deserved second. Some of our passing is still sloppy, but you can't argue with a 2-0 lead.

Like watching Oxford

Like watching Oxford

Ain't that the truth!

 

[Sarge]

cut out the sloppy passing, couple more England goals in the second half ...

Come on you Lionesses

 

[Sandy]

2 all written all over it.
Win on pens

 

[Yellow Hoods]

Now that was a well-worked goal! 3-0.

BOOM

 

[Oufcad30]

Cracking strike!

 

[unification]

Lucy Bronze is a cut above every player out there. Superb.

Millie Bright has a habit of Jon Ashton moments all too often though. Houghton bailed her out of that one.

 

[Sarge]

few sloppy periods in that 2nd half ... and rode their luck at times ...Houghton best player for me, that clearance off the line was superb... in the end job done......., well done lionesses

 

[Pompeyyellows]

Pity we can’t sign Lucy Bronze. Cracking RB

Millie Bright just reminds me of Phil Jones, just looks naturally awkward, if it were me I'd be tempted to rest her for the next game (or two). Bring back Laura Bassett.
The young winger Ryan also look something special - I'd have had her on for Parris a lot earlier last night.
But what a cracking strike for Bronze

 

[Johnf]

Really enjoyed last nights match deserved to win and played some great stuff at times. Let’s hope they can go all the way and and bring the cup home.

Would agree with all of that, especially re: Bright. Was lucky to have Houghton bail her out a few times.
