Good Luck England V Sweden

[boingy]

A deserved win but jeez......the Swedish goalie was terrible.

I heard her described as “an icon of the game” by one squealing female commentator on the radio.

FFS if that’s an icon of female goalkeeping then it says a hell of a lot!

I was at the Stourbridge match tonight with a good mate who actually watches Stourbridge ladies side and who’s pro women’s football.

He said to me prior to tonight’s match that the biggest problem is the keeper issue, he says they don’t move their feet fast enough.

He’s spot on, watch the keeper for the fourth goal, she can barely jump to get to Kirby’s chip and he recovery to chase the ball towards goal was awful.

Same with Bronze’s header, feet set in stone.

Until keepers become more athletic and stronger and able to dive high vertically they will lower the tone of this sport.

England’s keeper did in fairness pull off a couple of good saves.

Still not for me I’m afraid but a deserved result.

Oh Mick I can sense a little warming toward it in there. You are right about goalkeeping. They do look a bit suspect. Women's football is improving at a rate of knotts though. I couldn’t watch it at first but I can see it getting better and better.

To be honest Boingy - there was more skill and creativity on show than what our lot came up with last season under Bruce!

Some of the girls look really fit too 😀

Wouldn’t be surprised with me going to Middlesbrough on Saturday if I enjoy it less than the Sunday girls final!

Let’s hope you’re wrong. Can’t argue though.
