you two Arsenal fans missed what England TikTok posted after the England v USA game: Alessia Russo swapping shirts with Naomi Girma with the "help" of Emily Fox. The most liked comment on that post is "Agent Fox and Agent Russo". 😆 sneaky sneaky Arsenal!

I think Nighswonger was getting bulldozed because her build is so slight. At 5'3" she was at a severe disadvantage against those taller, solid Netherlands women. Made sense to sub her out in favor of Sonnett who's not going to get bullied. Maybe Nighswonger need to move to the midfield and attack along the wings as is her strength.

I can’t find the thread I intended (but got waylaid!) to write this on, but your mention of the young one being booed reminded me…you wrote, re the England v USA match, that the Christian girl (oh god HONESTlY, i absolutely know her name but i’ve been working all day and my brain has fried!! 😂) was booed? And indeed she was, but by the USA fans!! I know this because I was at the match, in with my English Compatriots fans, and when the booing started most people were like (Corbin Albert! Brain un-frying 🤪) “Why are the US fans booing their OWN player?!! I enjoyed the match - it was GREAT to see the US players but we all in my section wished that the US players, and Emma, had walked around the field afterwards (instead of just going just to their own fans 😢) because of course we English fans would have given then a nice reception. No one ever looked like scoring in that game, btw! The US had the better chances but didn’t ever really look like converting any of them, and England never looked like scoring but at least our defence held out! It was fun to watch, tbh. One thing more. At the end of the match Emma went over to the US fans and OMG it was like Taylor Swift had shown up 😂😂😂. The fan-girl screaming was hilarious, but in a cute way..like, we English fans sort of went “Aw, bless!”. And OMG 2, she has her hair all nicely done…she barely even brushed it whilst at Chelsea and we are vERY divided about that!! She was just Emma, at Chelsea, but now she seems to have had all manner of marketing thingies going on!! 😂🤣🥰.

im not giving up on Nighswonger. think theres more to her failings in this game than just her. ive seen this before and not naming names, but i think theres an issue with what shes asked to do, and what happens around her. maybe shes going backwards, maybe shes not NT material. i dont see it as that yet though. hope the team doesnt give up on her, hope she doesnt give up on herself. Alyssa Potm, Yaz close 2nd. Yaz is fantastic, looks like she belongs out there. gritty, technical, fast, can set others up and can track back like a boss. going to be hard to keep her off the field in the future. overall, not too worried about these two friendlies. Hayes was experimenting, team didnt lose, no injuries. thats a win imo.

I actually thought it was nice of KNVB giving Alyssa a gift before the coin toss. She looked really surprised and touched by their thoughtfulness!❤ Also, Jenna was getting her booty kicked and I thought Casey would have given as good as the Dutch gave. 🤷🏻♀️

Hayes should have brought in Lily at the England match to alleviate her nerves, or start her against Neth. to get her in the right flow.

Actually throwing the ball on the pitch like that deserves a yellow card! Cynical play. The referee saw it for what it was. You don’t play football like that.

Only seen highlights but Netherlands looked really good, should have been 5 up at half time. Shame DvD couldn't hit a barn door on the night. I'd put them ahead of England in the Euros pecking order after this week's games. My favourites for next summer in order; Spain, Sweden, France, Germany, Netherlands, England, Norway, Italy. Re Horan, we've got plenty of people who want Walsh, Stanway, Bronze, Bright and Mead pushed out. Stanway is only 25, Walsh 27. Everyone has an occasional off day, she just captained the side to an Olympic gold medal, her Lyon team is running away with the league in France and 100% in Champion's League I believe. Sometimes people don't appreciate what they've got 'til it's gone. I was the same with Ellen White. That said, maybe start to transition Croix Bethune into the 10 position when she's fit. Her numbers for assists were ridiculous. Equalling the season record when you miss half the fixtures with an ACL makes Chawinga's goal-scoring record look unimpressive

I watched the clip here a few times, and I agree. It looked like she was about to take the thrown-in when she realized that Netherlands had the ball. She threw the ball while running back in. You can see a spin on the ball as it hits the floor and changes direction.

She admitted after the game she threw the ball to gain more time and yes she would definitely be playing for the Netherlands she is very good as we can see her play here every week. I don’t think she will be happy in the long time playing for USA to much traveling to do. But we will see where she will be in a couple of years.

Hello Sarah and Sara. My first thought was "Junkers are planes not subs", but I guess I made too many plastic models as a kid. Back to the real world and Netherlands are good enough to challenge the Olympic champions in some areas, so why change the team that is getting confidence from that. Emma has time to sort it all out, but it seems US KZbin channels and some fans in comments expect USA to dominate like they used to, because they won the Olympics. More should obviously watch this channel, where you know how good players like DvdD really are and that to European fans the big two are World Cup and Euros. Did you see Wales knocked Ireland out of the Euros. OTB in Ireland said Katie McCabe was too wound up in the occasion to be effective in the game. Coaches like Emma might put a player in an unfamiliar role or change formation, not to win a friendly with the "best" team , but to test how players cope and learn how they react under pressure.

I remember a comment made about Hannah Hampton and Mary Earps regarding the Germany game as opposed to the USA game. They talked about Mary being a big game player and if Hannah could take the pressure of big games. There were so many different factors in both games, personnel, and formation not to mention USA did not have the front three from the Olympics.

She also realized they had another ball and she was out of position and i think it was to give her time to get back in her spot lol i thought it was brilliant. I could not agree more, Horan, Coffee not the answer, i was so surprised that Coffee did not come off, she made a couple of good moves on defense but the rest of the time she was ball chasing. Hersfeld should start, she is a player like Ertz, that we have not see since Ertz retired. Nightswonger will do better but she has not played welll since her first caps, in my opinion
