ref let a lot of professional fouls go which made it very difficult for us to counter attack. That certainly makes things tricky since our main source of goals is transition

Exactly this. We copped some really cynical fouls mid counter which made us much less effective offensively. Ref needed to do better after the early yellow. England should have a couple more. 

Fowler has looked tentative as though she's lost confidence, giving up possession. Carpenter making some good runs, but also giving up some poor passes or skying it. Kerr not getting the delivery. Foord not given any space. Can't see how we can score off high balls in to the box

Case in point there. Ball security on that counter but 5 seconds later we end up back in our own half. England are too organised.

Fowler running on the counter using the ref to block the passing lane. We've got to move and jig.

Slowly that's the idea. Still, shouldn't be standing flat waiting for a cross. Need a lot more movement. Fowler in space though would see England panic to her creating more space. 

This ref is shit

ref not paying attention

Fowler has got years to develop but there's an example of a more experienced player pushing the ball to the right with two free players on the edge of the box. Maybe Carpenter shoots first time. Still in a better position on pitch. 

The Ref GAGF'ed

Very typical of a ref wanting to curry favour - early yellow to show toughness, then lightly does it. Am I being too cynical?

This yank ref is a joke

You see it. The early yellow sets a tricky precedent but then the ref starts to lose consistency and control 

Get Raso off! Vine or Chidiac on. 

We need to stop playing the wide overlap and angle drive at the 18 yard box. Theres no variation. 

Better movement. We at least look like something might happen as opposed to the first half

everyone talking about world cup heroes well this is how they are made someone has to step up and produce something

Look disinterested.
Kerr been invisible to this point, not even trying that hard.
And then..

Vine and Van Egmond came to bench. Reckon Raso and maybe even Fowler off. Kerr is cooked. 

England taking all momentum out of the game. We need to bring more energy defensively and be sharper and more proactive in offensive transition. Crosses won't work. 

Omg what a goal Kerr. Oh my fucking God! 

lol pick that out

there we go lol

Thing those subs will be cancelled by Tony now.

Was screaming like a banshee to pass to Foord then that. 

WHACK

Don't mind that goal end at Stadium Australia 

Disgusting. Just absolutely appalling. 

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT

Out field Mat Ryan with a blonde fuckin wig that shit

Carpenter, what a terrible tournament for her. Worst she ever played.

These crosses ffs

Ban the sky
