Whether we qualify or not I am sure it has been a great experience for the team and hopefully they can kick on from here. We literally have nothing to lose, so yes, lets hope we find our rhythm from the off. This was always going to be a big ask on their first world cup but you literally couldn't buy the experience it has brought the women. Here’s also hoping the fans will push the team on, they have been excellent. @Flure and the gang, I expect to hear that voice of yours booming round the stadium. The one you use for singing in cathedrals and yelling at Lady Flure when she burns your dauphinoise potatoes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far 1 result has gone our way out of 5 so still need 1 more result from only 2 games! Of course, if we don't beat Argentina tomorrow it will all be academic anyway. If we do go through we'll meet Germany in the next round! Tough break... 1 out of 5 ,😕, how depressing. Should we win tonight, does anyone know any venues in Valencia that may be showing the Cameroon and Chile games ? I am travelling there tomorrow. Almost as tough an ask as a win tonight I know .

Kirk Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We don't really deserve to go through on the first two games, yes there were bad decisions but we also did fuck all for the first 70 mins of both games then had a go and actually worried the other teams, which makes you wonder why we didnt just have a go in the first place. Heard one of the girls talking the other day and she basically said the manager had told them before the tournament the first two games wouldnt really matter and it would come down to winning the Argentina game so they were focussed on that, to me that is a fucking terrible attitude to have from the start. Why not be positive and come out fighting in the first two games. Shambles as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the intention was to keep it tight, and understandably so, if they'd been 2 heavy defeats we'd now be needing snookers. We started pretty well v England but the penalty knocked us back for a while. The Japan first half was poor, don't know if it was the heat or their relentless energy but we made a lot of errors. It does have a ring of Uruguay 86 about it, but I will be positive and compare it with the CIS in 92. 3 nil Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviebee Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Maybe the players need hypnotised into thinking they're 2 goals down before they take the field? That's the only way they seem to start playing. Got my money on us being fcked over by a dodgy VAR for the Argies or a blatant one for us during a temporary VAR power malfunction.

I've heard shelly kerr say " we know we have to win one game, it didn't have to be this one" after the England game. Not quite so bothered post match but if this was actually a strategy then pretty breathtaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The England game has come and gone, no point the coach dwelling on it, she needs to motivate her players that it is still a possibility to progress, but if you say the next two games are must win - then that is an option but the pressure on the players at that point ramps up considerably. Seems a stretch to conclude her quote equates to a strategy going into the tournament not to bother in one or more of the games, you can go ahead and read that but I don't see that at all.

ThistleWhistle Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I think realising goal difference is key pushed them to fight back in both games. If we win 1-0 NZ or Cameroon need score 3 because of gd then goals scored. Argentina looked a bit ragged the few times they attacked so hopefully bit of space tonight. It's the hope that kills you!

weekevie04 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Argentina were something like 5/1 earlier. Crazy odds. Caroline Weir looks a very good player. Not rated Evans much at all, and Crichton looks like a red card waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
