Have the goalkeepers improved? Any women's football I have seen suffered from appaling  goalkeeping. Goals seem too big.

Still prone to blunders, certainly a weakness overall.

Bad decision making, seems to be another constant, some build up play is very good but ruined by the wrong pass etc.

This isn't just in the womens game, it shouldn't be forgotten the mens game has plenty of candidates who are not much better, if at all. 

Small steps, a sport that will never, IMO, reach the heights in skill or popularity, that the mens game has achieved.

I don't usually read FS as I put him on ignore long ago, (best decision I've made on here), but Slarti quoted and what fartaway wrote is true as far as commentators are concerned. I've already put it out there long ago about Jonathon Pearce's piercing shrill doing my head in. And, as for the poor fair on show, I didn't overlook anything. I said, "For the most part". I stand by this.  I also DID intimate about the state of football down Greenhill Rd but supporting Saints is in my DNA. You get the bug and go in hope more than anything.

The first 15 have been pretty reasonable, to a point.

Sweden play a high press game and are pretty good at getting the ball forward.

England, some decent stuff, at this stage pretty even game.

Oh, it seems you need long hair to get a game, noticed that throughout the tournament.

Counts me out.

Obviously. 

Sween are very dangerous at corners, looks like a possible way they could score. 

[faraway saint]

1-0 England, decent strike. 

[faraway saint]

England 1-0 Sweden, half time.

Been decent to be honest, nothing in it overall, the goal apart.

Seem worse games. 

Easy to criticise the Swedish defending for the goal, way too much time, but almost every goal could be prevented so it was still a good strike.

I had cash on 0- 0, not be eating the rest of the month. 

 

[faraway saint]

2-0 England, I did say England were dangerous from corners.........................or was that Sweden? 

 

[faraway saint]

Swedish goalie. 

[faraway saint]

Swedish girl goes for goal, unfortunately, rather than her foot, hits it with her knee. 

Still, was on target and the English goalie made a good save. 

2-0, 67 mins. 

[faraway saint]

England 3-0 Sweden, wee bit of class, backheel after missing a great chance.

Game over, 69 mins.

If you, St Pussy, think there's been hype, buckle up, it's about to go off the scale. 

[Slarti]

I would agree to certain extent however there is much more space and the tempo although better is still frustratingly slower than it could be, as for finishing, looks more spectacular when the keepers are smaller in proportion to the size of the goals

It probably needs some of those "new women", you know, the ones with the beards and the cocks. ([emoji2399] Ricky Gervais)

It's ok, he's scared to talk things out, cowering behind his "ignore" function. 

@stlucifer, St Pussy, is more apt. 

You can't "talk things out" with someone who only hears himself. And I think pussy is more apt in describing you ya fud.
