the England lasses especially the City ones.

bry the guy · June 22, 2015, 23:59:48

Yes they were poor the first half but the better team in the second and deserved winners.

Swiss · June 23, 2015, 00:18:22

Idon't think they'd won a match in the World cup prior to this competition!

bluebrendan · June 23, 2015, 00:38:51

They certainly hadn't won a knockout match. Great strike by Lucy Bronze for the winner.

Victoria · June 23, 2015, 01:54:01

Interesting concept here, an English team with an American keeper.......

but we'll done!

Lekos · June 23, 2015, 06:23:48

Thankfully both her parents are English so she's much less likely to go on a killing spree.

Ludo · June 23, 2015, 07:25:45

Unless they're related to Hindley and Brady....

Swiss · June 23, 2015, 08:32:48

Unlike the American Olympic teams...

Valid point. I did say "less likely" though

Swiss · June 23, 2015, 12:56:49

Or Shipman, though he was a bit more creative than a gun!

zacc · June 28, 2015, 09:27:52

now the semis finals to come, Japan will not be easy be interesting to see how they do?

Swiss · June 28, 2015, 09:53:03

Yes very well done!

The women have shown far more character and determination in this tournament than the men have managed in 25 years of relative failure since Italia 90. Canada were technically superior but England were more clinical when the chances arrived.

Swiss · June 28, 2015, 12:21:05

The Mens team would prob struggle in this tournament

Victoria · June 28, 2015, 12:40:25

City would struggle in this tournament

Canada wasn't technically superior at all, England played different tactics that worked; which was mostly defensive and hit Canada on the break.

Canada's passing and close control were better, England repeatedly gave the ball away but Canada failed to capitalise on their domination of possession.

Sounds so much like city last season.

zacc · July 05, 2015, 09:00:22

got a medal they'll be able to make into a coaster

Victoria · July 05, 2015, 10:27:29

which is more than the men's team have got

Swiss · July 05, 2015, 16:30:56

Congrats to them. Not beaten Germany in 20 matches or something like that...

bry the guy · July 05, 2015, 17:41:34

We will have 5 of them in the city womens team soon i bet.

Ludo · July 05, 2015, 18:02:26

We already have.

bry the guy · July 05, 2015, 22:46:39

i know thats why i said it.

zacc · July 05, 2015, 23:49:07

thought it interesting on radio commentary about how good City's facilities must be as their fitness levels are so good.

BongoBlue · July 06, 2015, 02:49:07
