Standard of outfield play in the later phases has been great. Goalkeeping is definitely at a lower standard than outfield but the keepers are always going to lack the physical presence of their male counterparts.

They've bought worse

France bottled that a bit. I think, hope, England in for a beating from them.

Looks like the Lionesses have inherited their male counterparts knack of shooting themselves in the foot.

I wonder why Rapinoe wasn't playing?!

[laoislad]

Alex Morgan is a bit of alright.

Alex Morgan is a bit of alright.

Terrible diver though.

Either Hope Solo is huge or the other 2 girls on the Beeb are midgets....

That was no penalty. Justice was done.

Quit, a penalty all day long.

[An Watcher]

Looked a pen all day long but the replays showed she didn't touch her at all. More a terrible miss. Justice done

[imtommygunn]

She got clipped. I think it was unintentional but fair chance it would have been a goal so had to be a penalty imo.

[gallsman]

Took them a while to find the right angle but the reason she fluffed it was because her leg was clipped from behind. Stonewall penalty.

[BennyCake]

Never a penalty. The US player was running, no intent or contact whatsoever
