04' 0-0 Wow, it's all Scotland early, holding multiple possessions in England's right corner. Little shows off a ball trick, juggle-catching a 15' drop onto her right foot with zero bounce. 05' 0-0 England cross from 12m mid-right to 3 left post, Corsie(?) heads over endline left.
This sucks. I signed for sling yesterday, only to find sling doesn't carry Fox for my zip code. I had to cancel immediately and sign up with Hulu.
Cuthbert is really an exciting player! You always get the feeling that she can do something big! England is more dangerous in general, but I wouldn't rule out Scotland winning through a counter-attack finished by Cuthbert!
06' 0-0 Cuthbert sprints with Bronze(?) down box left to 5m mid-left, has no support, dribbles away through 13m mid-left and finally settles for a long backpass to 30m. 07' 0-0 Mead takes Howard down box left to 6-left foot, backpass intercepted. 10' 0-0 Little gets into 10m mid-left, runs into the same solid wall, never has a window for right instep bend. England cede the position, but know how to defend it.
12' 0-0 Delay while R1 Adamkova checks the monitor. Earlier, Kirby cross from 15m box right skims off Docherty's left forearm away from body, deflects upward and leftward across mouth. VAR review, handball, penalty. 14' 1-0 Parrish pk, right instep pull into back left high, not saveable. This guy has a good seat today 1137755282115911680 is not a valid tweet id
One wonders if VAR was really necessary to catch a PK like this one. Then one thinks at the handball in US box in the final of Olympics 2012 and has to answer: "Yes, maybe it's needed".
Wow, the #ENGSCO hashthread is blowing up with raging complaints against VAR The cure was worse than the disease <= cure this
19' 1-0 England quick cross from wide right to 6-top left post, Scotland jump 2-v-1 and head away to the left. England recycle to arc tangent left, Kirby shoots right instep through traffic but pulls it wide left low. England look for quick crosses from both sides, and all it takes is one bad touch by the defense. 21' 1-0 Bronze(?) quick cross from 24m wide right to 11m 1/3 right, White squats facing away, back-header blocked leftward. 22' 1-0 Mead works Howard down box left, 1st cross blocked, 2nd cross settled at 10m mid-left. Kirby chases down box right to 5m, quick cross to 7m right post, White turn-and-volley low is blocked just wide right low. This pace is going to force something 23' 1-0 England quick forward chip from 27m center to White leaning past Beattie at 7m, simple back-header pops over Alexander into center back low. Offside.
Wow, one of the best save I've seen so far at this WWC from Alexander on a White's shot. One minute after, Ellen White scores, but she's obviously off-side. Alexander's save with her foot was impressive, because it didn't look random, she was very composed. Here's a GK I don't know very well: for which club does she play?
