    The Danes are sorting out their press now and coming back into it. We need to capitalise on our dominance

    Daly and James proving a point

    Denmark growing into the game and mistakes by Daly and Bronze very nearly led to the equaliser.

    James looks on another level to most of the England players

    Keira Walsh the best passes of a ball in woman's football looks like her WC is over.
    She knew straight away.
    Gutted for her and for England that our bad luck continues.

    Lady surgeon writing in WSC said the reason for so many ACL injuries in women’s football is that they wear boots designed for men. Studs are too long for the lighter weight of women, apparently.

    "we just need things to get back down to that optimal level" is it me or the co commentator?

    It's a mix of thing, shape of legs (men tend to be more bow-legged, women straighter or even knock knee), boots, the intensity of the game increasing, playing on harder pitches, periods. Loads of research needed. I think Keira Walsh was wearing the women-specific boots that Nike designed for this World Cup

    Think I heard that women play less football growing up (particularly lack of academies etc) as well so might not be as strong. Lots of reasons.

    Bit more even going into the break. Sad to see another knee injury

    Laura Coombes is a journey woman footballer.

    To loose Captain Williamson was unfortunate, to loose the star finishes in the Euros in Beth Mead was a major blow and now to loose the star midfielder that Barcelona paid a record fee for is an absolute disaster. Plus the talent that is Kirby who finds space between the lines.

    England have to find a way to cope.

    yeah it's the whole professionalism thing, which whilst the players are full time, the infrastructure until they make the WSL is pretty bad, and the conditioning/strength work isn't there. It is changing, but long way to go, and sadly more players will have these nasty injuries

    More than one reason and are the pitches the woman play on watered enough because this pitch doesn't appear to be as discussed by the Arsenal manager.

    Yes pitches are a reason, she also said that the greater use of 3G in the women’s game is a factor.

    Superb corners by Greenwood on the left and Kelly on the right and nearly 3rd time lucky.
    The movement could have been better in the box for the first two corners.

    Where would England women have "finished" last season if they played in the men's EFL?
    I'm thinking they are roughly at Charlton's level?

    Go and watch the Cricket.
    To compare woman's football to men's is so crass.
    Maybe a poor attempt at a Joke ?

    Considering Wrexham vets beat the US national team 12-0 I don’t think so

    I might get my Yankee up with the usual negativity to women playing football.
    Just need one more of the usual suspects.

    The problem with Stanway playing deeper in Walsh's position is Stanway's can finish where Keira has never scored for England.

    Hemp and England as I expected get on.

    Keira Walsh has been spotted on crutches and it’s hoped her injury may not be as serious as feared.

    Lauren James is superb. Never really watched her before but she’s class.
