Spain have full control. Tactical change needed at halftime England. |  |

Maybe stop passing backwards?
Technically much better basic ball control |  |

Not even close to a contest. Could easily be 3 down or worse. |  | | |

Some of our defending could only be watched through closed eyes - "statue-esqe" would be an apt description. Comms thought maybe a couple were carrying injuries.
I thought changes were needed before h-t, tbh. |  |

Very complacent. Taking on passes they aren't good enough to pull off against a decent team. Over and over again. | | | |

Think midfield is the biggest problem. Struggling to hold on to the ball, pass or tackle. | |

Its complacent. No one shields or expects contact on the ball. So easy to push them off. | | | |

This is one of the benefits of the women’s game, I do think the women’s game has a lot of technically good players. They don’t rely on physicality to dominate their play. | |

Part of being technically good, is being able to perform those skills under pressure, including physical pressure. | | | |

Which they do. Lots of the games during this competition have shown teams being technically good on the ball. | |

If Sunderland v Ipswich had 13 minutes of injury time, this must be at least 15? [Post edited 20 Aug 2023 12:45]

Not today. Constantly nudged off it with ease as if they expect to be allowed to play without challenge. Especially Bronze and Walsh. | | | |

Dunno if over-awed by the occasion, but just seemed as though they weren't making the effort sometimes, which would be bizarre.
When I said "through closed eyes" before btw, I meant of course "fingers"! | |

Disagree, the way the Spanish have kept the ball and past it out from tight positions especially during that first half was rather impressive to watch. | |

Thought Walsh has been really poor, surprised she wasn't subbed. | |

So the same amount of added time as Sunderland v Town, even though there have been longer delays here. | |

Those Spaniards certainly know how to waste time. Nonetheless, we weren't good enough today, still a cracking achievement though. | |

Ref was really poor. They played her like a violin...
Better team won though. | | | |

Well beaten by the much better team in the end - too many players put in poor performances.
Good to see though that regardless of the sport or gender, the Spanish are a bunch of whiny cheating melts. |  |

Yep, the ridiculous yellow card for Hemp should have been given against the Spanish player instead for her dive & Oscar-worthy acting - Hemp barely touched her.
As you say, Spain deserved to win on the day, though far better than us. | |

Fair play to Spain.
Worthy champions.
I thought England were much improved in the 2nd half.
Very proud of them. |  |

Agreed, the ref was weak and manipulated by Spain. Regardless, Spain were the better team and deserved the win.
Well done England though. Euro champs and World Cup finalists is a great achievement. They’ve hopefully inspired a generation to get out there, play and/or take an interest. |  | | |
