Shocking defending by England for Scotland to pull one back. |  |

A lot similar to John Stones for the men's team against the Netherlands. |  | | |

Sorry, nothing's as bad as Stones. | | | |

It really is bad. The crowd noise reminds me going to Wembley back in the day for England school boy games |  | | |

I thought the second goal was superbly taken. |  |

I think some of the players (all nations) are pretty good standard technically, been some great goals but highlights are about all I manage or I start falling asleep.
I have seen many worse male players and games. |  |

Disappointed to have watched it right to the end and then not one, not a single one of them, honoured the traditional swapping of shirts at the end of an international game.
The use of an analysis panel that are all one gender was also crass by the BBC in this day and age
I’m outraged |  |

Considering the lull in football, I've been watching the highlights. Players and fans seem to be enjoying the tournament, so more power to them. |  |

Poor defending for that goal, but as mentioned not as bad as Stones for the mens team.
After watching a few games now I actually think the standard of Women's football has improved massively, the standard is quite good. Obviously people will default to the idea it is shocking when there is a poor mistake etc but as a whole I have been impressed with what I have seen. |  |

To be fair, we are connoisseurs of bad defending, having shipped 141 goals in our last 92 league games. We have experienced not only Joel Lynch but such luminaries as Zesh Rehman, Bob Malcolm and Gus Caesar. We know a thing or two about it, so if we say it's bad, it's bad. |  |

Agree the Women's game has improved immeasurably. I enjoy watching it. | | | |

Yep I've enjoyed what I have seen so far, and very refreshing to see very little cheating/diving and backchat to the ref. |  |

I know it's slightly off the original topic, but I found Thursday's England men's game surprisingly similar to watching the R's last season.
They got a single early goal and decided to sit on that for the rest of the ninety, timewasting against a technically better side. Never in control of the midfield, forwards who didn't look like scoring and a defence trying to play out from the back while not actually capable of that.
An equaliser let in because a defender facing the wrong way decided to turn round on the ball with the turning circle of an oil tanker and without knowing what was behind him, which meant the ball was pinched straight off him.
A last minute winner chalked off because of a dubious refereeing decision.
Totally QPR from start to finish (rant over). [Post edited 10 Jun 2019 11:19]

Joking aside, the first half yesterday was something else. If we could get our full backs and wide players to do combine the way they did, we might score a few more goals. | |

I do wonder whether resting Trent and co was a mistake Thursday. Koeman stuck van Dijk and Wijnaldum into his team, regardless of their playing in the CL final and his tactic got them to the final. | | | |

Yeah but we've got John Stones. |  |

Watched England v Scotland and South Africa v Spain. Both games very enjoyable and of an excellent standard I thought. The passage of play between Bronze, Houghton and Parris which included 3 nutmegs was a real highlight.
For those desperately concerned about male representation at this World Cup, not to worry! Jonathan Pearce was on commentary and one of the co-commentators was a male coach of a Scottish womens team. Dion Dublin has been on the punditry team for some games. | | | |

I was more concerned about the VAR penalty for England which I felt ruined the game. If this is the future of football I do not like it. Yes the game is quick and the r's have their fair share of decisions going against them but I would rather football was played to the whistle. | | | |

The standard is definitely improving, but very few of this generation of international players will have had the same amount of playing time as their male equivalents. You can see it in the attention they have to give to controlling the ball, which means that they don't have their heads up to watch the play develop around them. Plenty of times runners going ahead of the player taking possession were ignored because she didn't look up to see them until they had run past anywhere they could take the ball (I know it isn't just the women who do this!). It'll get better as girls who have had more playing time growing up come through.
The Scots defenders really need to get more distance on clearances though. |  | | |

Even if that refs whistle cost us numerous points like last season?I would much prefer it to be used to overturn some terrible decisions given rather than spotting something not spotted by the officials.
As long as it helps to achieve consistent fairness to all teams I’m happy with it. |  | | |

I've really enjoyed it so far. I thought the french side on friday would give anyone a game - they were strong, tight and dominant.
Actually finding the whole thing a breath of fresh air against the laboured bollarks we've seen from the men in the last few televised games... |  | | |
