For the second year running . . .

I was really impressed with the one touch football. Have a look at that English "offside" goal, - that's how to play football and how to score when one on one with the goal-keeper. A certain Mr. Dykes could certainly learn a lot by watching that over and over again.

The penalty was woeful, - and once again an advert on how not to take them.

The USA were superb in the first half, and much better technically but they completely ran out of steam and were very fortunate to progress. Even with 10 players the English team would have won in extra time if they'd finished at 2-2, - because the USA had no idea how to cope with the physical onslaught.

Not sure England would have survived another 30 minutes.

Not sure England would have survived another 30 minutes.

The USA players were faster, stronger, tougher and smarter than Engerland and fully deserved their victory. The English girl Bright in defence had a nightmare culminating in her being sent off. Wonder if the USA fitness coach from Geordieland
Donna Scott is any relation of ex - Queens manager Iain who has won 2 or 3 league championships in American football (soccer) since he went there to ply his trade.
