Ref not happy with Farrell decison. Getting called up on all fouls whilst Oz not

Serious question:

When was the last time you saw a goal from a corner?

Seems so 1980s.

Your thoughts?

[booboo]

Picking penalties ...

Maybe not.

Poms go up 1

Spurs scored a lot in Conte's first season. The since deceased corner coach had some great movement to get players free. Otherwise I find corners and static crosses are a futlie exercise. Australia have had fewer shots on goal, but they attack with more pace and look more dangerous to me. England have to push the pace. And as I type England score from a throw in. Aussie defence caught flat footed

[MiketheSnow]

Fabulous strike

Great half of football so far

[canefan]

The Aussie defence basically did what the Swedes did last night. Failed to close out, but this time the English girl was deep in the box

[Billy Tell]

Aussie is a bit hoof and hope at the moment.

[booboo]

Poms push and get caught

[canefan]

English Midfield have taken control. Space for the Aussie wingers has dried up

[booboo]

Let it go. Was always too long

[booboo]

Poms escape

[sparky]

Australia have abandoned any sort of press in midfield. England dominating.

[canefan]

Aussies need to get back to driving the ball down the wings and getting early crosses in

[booboo]

1-zip Poms at the half

[sparky]

England were excellent in that half, dominated the midfield, were rock solid at the back and are deserved leaders going into the break. Australia need to score early after half time to stay in this, I suspect.

Can't see Australia winning from here - it looks to me like the Poms are wise to the counterattack game we beat the Dutch with, and our one failure on defence could easily be repeated.

I wouldn't be so sure. Only takes one taken chance. England doing well to keep the ball, but have been chances both ways.

England will need to keep pushing ... if they start to protect the lead, then that will certainly give Australia an open gate back in.
