Hopefully the pundits will be having a look at the pen incident during half time chat.

I thought the refs had to explain their decisions in this competition? Saying after a review it's not a penalty isn't explaining anything. If it was a pen, they'd have to give a pen from every corner in the men's game but, once given, how could they then say it was a clear & obvious error? she did carry on talking after saying the decision, but it was drowned out by crowd noise

Certainly not a foregone conclusion from the bits I’ve seen of the game.
Maybe these England lasses are realising that having smoke blown up your collective arse doesn’t necessarily convert into guaranteed success?

Oshoala on for Nigeria, bad news for England even if not fully fit yet.

Our strikers are pretty ineffective, physically second best every time. Need better passing and movement off the ball to get around them.

Not sure who the commentator is but she's really annoying me, totally over egging how the play is going, i.e "her hold up play has been exceptional", "superb control", yes, decent but trying way too hard to make it sound good.

Been chasing the game from about 10min onwards. Nigeria have shown real athleticism. Get back in numbers when needed but can also break quickly. It's a tough combination for anyone to play against. England not at their best either.

Great save from a good effort by Daly. If it goes to pens I think we can edge it.

Letting frustration get the better of her. Ten players against a very fit team for another half an hour if they survive next few mins. Will be a lot of defending then hope to scrape by on pens.

Stupid from James but on an entirely different matter, what are the rules regarding shin pads now? I know in the men's game they are getting smaller & smaller but James didn't even seem to have any shin pads on at all.

That was one of the few opportunities she had away from her marker and ran straight at the right back (who has been quality).
Frustration led to the stamp.

Stupid, stupid, stupid from our best player. Tbf, the way she's played today was like having 10 men anyway James isnt quick over the ground, her physicality and her skill were matched today by being tightly marked as she got the ball. Either she failed to move around enough to get space or it was part of the gameplan, it didnt work whatever. The stamp was just stupid, no excuses. The truth about James is she might be better losing a little of the weight and trying to gain a little pace to go with her undoubted ball skills. Lucy Bronze, a tournament too far???
