@Chris-B Or Beckham in 1998.

Commentators were in dreamland on that one.

From the bits I've seen, James didn't look like winning many awards for workrate tonight though?

If it gets to penalties then England will have done supremely well

One of the aspects where women's soccer is so much better than men's is the lack of theatrics. Clear red card and must have hurt a bit, but the Nigerian player only complained a bit about it. Any male player would have died multiple times over and rolled around the floor like a ran over cat.

Of course, they are terrible players, technically (compared to the men), but still.

England have been dreadful in this game.

Getting outmuscled, their touch has been terrible.

Nigerian Hollywood there. She's a big girl but went down and stayed down like she got shot

I hate simulation

[canefan]

England are lucky that Nigeria can't get a strike on target

[MiketheSnow]

Nigeria look fitter, faster & stronger

[canefan]

So far this WC has been a coming out party for a number of so called lesser lights, at the expense of a number of traditional powers

[MiketheSnow]

Bollocks to that penalty

Consistent reffing

[canefan]

England look like they are playing for penalties. These Nigerian girls are big and strong, winning most of the 50/50 balls

[canefan]

I don't know why the Nigerian girl is down, she's the one who elbowed the English girl!

[canefan]

England literally can't get out of their half

[Machpants]

First English soccer team keen for a game to go to penalties

[canefan]

England were down a player, I know. But they didn't even try to sneak a goal
