Euro 2017

[Lord Camomile]

Oof, we'll take it...

 

[Badgers]

Better than Norway

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuck's sake, I'm working for the final group game Might have to have it running in a tab on the PC...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Seems Lucy Bronze was instrumental in getting the penalty decision reversed.

"Before the tournament, Uefa send referees in to have meetings with you and they said if it hits you or is a deflection it's not really a handball - you can't really help it," said Bronze.

"I saw it right in front of me and I was like 'that is not a penalty' - it's hit her leg and then gone up and hit her arm. It's a deflection and [the referee] said 'you're right, it's my mistake'.

Bronze added: "There are a lot of grey areas. I really paid attention [in those meetings]. I had my book out and everything, making sure if I was playing I knew exactly what was a yellow card and red card.

I absolutely love that Bronze was taking notes during meetings with refs. My kind of player

pretty entertaining 1st half in the match between france & switzerland. france in real danger of getting knocked out

 

[Lord Camomile]

Head coach Mark Sampson has made 10 changes following Sunday's win over Spain. Centre-back Millie Bright is the only player to remain.

The wholesale changes may sound dramatic, but England are still fielding a very experienced side.

Toni Duggan wins her 50th cap, while right-back Alex Scott gets her 140th.

England XI: Chamberlain, A Scott, Bright, Bassett, Greenwood; Potter, Williams; Carney, Duggan, Christiansen; Parris.

Scott and Carney back in

 

[inva]

scotland in the lead

 

[Badgers]

scotland in the lead

Yes

Bit tense in the England game

 

[Lord Camomile]

Right, work finished, but I'm staying to watch the football even though I've got to be back here in less than 12 hours

Great to see Scotland ahead! Could it be...?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Tenacity

 

[mx wcfc]

C.mon England! you fgeckin Lionesses!

 

[inva]

cleared off the line by scotland, it's still on

 

[mx wcfc]

ok. come on Scotland too.......!!!!!

 

[heinous seamus]

I'm getting flashbacks to Euro 96

 

[inva]

real shame for Scotland they played great in that match

 

[Lord Camomile]

Great result for England, real shame for Scotland

I'm getting flashbacks to Euro 96

Me too!

 

[mx wcfc]

Play on England - hard luck Scots. just nice to see a national team that gives feck for a change.

 

[Badgers]

I'm getting flashbacks to Euro 96

Would you say...

It's coming home?

 

[mx wcfc]

Well, the men's team have buggered it up so far.......

 

[paolo]

I just read that the Lionesses win means it's England v France in the quarters.

Doesn't that mean we should now know when & where the match will be?

 

[passenger]

I'm getting flashbacks to Euro 96

And 1966 but i was not born then o the joy of winning the group
roll on Sunday bring on the French

 

[Lord Camomile]

I just read that the Lionesses win means it's England v France in the quarters.

Doesn't that mean we should now know when & where the match will be?

Sunday, 19:45.

Things are getting a little testy...

After [French coach] Echouafni said England would "not want to play France", Sampson said his counterpart's record did not match his.

"He's played three won one, I've played 11 won nine," said the Welshman.

"He'll learn who to talk about and not to. It'll be a good game and we respect a very good French team. We are looking forward to it.

"We are an experienced team and I'm an experienced manager. The game is not played in this [press] room, lucky for them."

 

[Lord Camomile]

Not sure about the whole "I've played...", to be honest. While appreciating the role a coach plays, he should surely be focusing on the women on the pitch?

 

[Lord Camomile]

No entirely clear why, but we've go three QFs today, starting at 11am and finishing at 19:45 this evening with England v France.

• 11:00: Germany Women v Denmark Women (More4)
• 17:00: Austria Women v Spain Women (More4)
• 19:45: England Women v France Women (Ch 4)

 

[Badgers]

[Lord Camomile]

German game rained off yesterday

Ah, figured it'd be something like that.

As they say, can't be good for the players...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Euro 2017: Germany v Denmark quarter-final called off in rainy Rotterdam

[Lord Camomile]

Bloody hell - tune in 5 minutes late, Germany already a goal up!
