FIFA Women's World Cup

What a scrappy goal. England would be best served to drive down the wings and get early crosses in. Plays to their strengths and puts the Colombian backline under big pressure

[canefan]

England have to take control in midfield and impose themselves physically against the Colombian creative players. And they need to return fire against Guzman, who has been skating a thin line since coming on. She could be on a YC on another day

[canefan]

These Colombians are typically adept at the dark arts. Love a good grapple

[canefan]

England do not want to go a goal down for a second time. England need to play with speed. A chance coming here, FC just outside the box

[canefan]

Nice option on the FK, forced a big save from the Colombian goalkeeper

[canefan]

Nice goal by England. Go direct and the ball falls for Russo, who slots it cooly

Can see the Cartel losing their shit soon

They've got away with some pretty heavy contacts so far

[MiketheSnow]

Russo took a big hit in the act of scoring and yet she popped up like a 'Jack In The Box' to celebrate

In open play she would have stayed down after looking like she'd been hit by an 18-wheeler

The biggest problem with football

Seeing the ball in the back of the net, better than Nurofen....

Second QF and another goalkeeper substitution

[canefan]

Great shot and save. Careless turnover by Daly

[canefan]

Nice buildup by England there, but the last pass goes awry

[canefan]

England will be punished sooner or later if they continue to hand the ball back in dangerous positions

[canefan]

Fortuitous injury to one of the Colombian defenders stops a promising attack from England

[canefan]

Terrible negative play from England. They were driving forward, only to pass back out. The re-entry pass gets picked off and Colombia drive down the pitch for an attack of their own. Now they have a corner, they are pressing now

[canefan]

England struggling to contain Colombia now. They will be hoping the clock runs out soon

[sparky]

England win and go through to the last 4.

[canefan]

Wow Colombia have got away with murder tonight. So many grabs at English attackers that went unpunished

[canefan]

So we have the Ashes SF at WC23
