  • Shame, great finish, think it's the right decision though.

    That decision is flat out wrong in every way

    Great first half, bemused with the offside decision.

    I can see why offside was given. Bronze was walking back from an offside position and had she not then touched the ball to set up the goal she wouldn't have been offside. Very good performance from England. Hard to pick any players out but i'll try, Russo, Hemp, James and Bright are having excellent games. A statement performance I would say.

    But the Chinese player definitely moved towards the ball, creating a new phase

    That is the contentious point.

    Harsh offside, but don't mind not having the rub of the green when we're 3-0 up.

    I caused great offence to a few recently by suggesting England Women may give Charlton a good game.
    I was taken aback by the abuse I got & somewhat dumbfounded.
    I must be seeing something different to everyone else because I'll be well pleased if Charlton play as well as this on Saturday.
    Still no chance. They’re a very good side but the physicality mismatch playing a pro men’s side would become evident within 5 - 10 minutes.
    Other than against Jack Payne  :D

    If the defending players attempt to play the ball is affected by the presence of an opposing player, and they don’t get a clean clearance as a result, it’s not considered deliberate play and the phase isn’t reset.

    James' technique is fantastic. Such a shame that other "goal" was chalked off
