Missed the game as I'm at work, but amazing from the ladies! Now Rishi needs to be a top lad and offer a bank holiday if (when) they win.
I still think they replaced the real Vlatko with a pod person. Unbelievable that USWNT Vlatko is also NWSL Vlatko
I mean Pep would likely be a shit National team coach for a country that doesn’t employ a certain style
Vlatko just straight up didn’t have another strategy though. There was a report that said he pretty much told Alex to play like Catarina Macario and then didn’t adjust after it was confirmed Cat wasn’t going to be able to make it back for the WC until the game against Sweden.
Yeah nothing about his NWSL coaching gave anyone reason to believe this would’ve been such a massive failure
England look good going forward but super exposed at the back. Should make for a fun game. Spain should 100% have scored there but can't blame them for not getting through the brick wall that is Mary Earps
Lucy Bronze running miles into no man's land, losing the ball, then Spain scoring from the huge vacated space. C'mon.
I know “Barca DNA” is a thing said a lot, but it’s wild to see it carrying over into the women’s game so heavily. You can tell seven of these players play weekly together.
Was saying exactly this. Spain, and particularly Barca’s, DNA carrying over between men and women’s football is kind of crazy
Legit feels like you could drop five outfield players from each squad and there’d be no drop off in formation/understanding
