Friendlies - Women

[Lorric]

Thread for women's friendlies and friendly tournaments.

The US did not get put on a 4 game losing streak, which would have been the first time in history, as they came from behind to beat Germany 2-1.

England vs Norway tonight...

Denmark beat Switzerland 2-1 last week, but the play wasn't convincing until Switzerland started subbing out several of their starters. This allowed Signe Bruun to score twice and turn the game around. Pernille Harder was injured.
Tonight it's Netherlands in Zwolle

Spain are currently beating Japan 1-0. Interesting that they're playing when they're in the same World Cup group.

England not playing great, Norway have had chances but missed them, and now Daly scores for England after a ball straight upfield into the box is put right on her head.

[Lorric]

England need to wake up here. Thankfully Roebuck in the goal has done great for us.

Norway have messed this up for themselves. Missing their chances, and now a second yellow.

Norway have messed this up for themselves.

Maybe they haven't. Roebuck messed up a clearance and an empty net goal for Norway.

[Lorric]

Going behind has got a reaction from England, but it shouldn't have come to this and there's not much time to put it right.

1-1 FT.

Second window in a row they've followed up a strong first game with an underwhelming second one.

[Lorric]

Northern Ireland beat Italy 1-0! They scored from a corner.

It was Kelly who set up Daly. I didn't know she was so good at delivering the ball. She was a threat again with her service today.

[Diouf]

Denmark lost 2-0 to the Netherlands, and the game showed that there's still quite a gap up towards the best team. When facing an opponent pressing high, Denmark have a very difficult time playing the ball out from behind. And, especially in a game without Harder, none of the front players have the qualities to deal with those long passes and hold onto the ball. Luna Gevitz made a good performance after coming on in defence, and looks like she has some calmness on the ball, which might put her in contention for starting in future matches. Katrine Kühl as the deep-lying playmaker in midfield did quite well again. I still think Karen Holmgaard should always be starting next to her for her dynamism and box-to-box qualities, but she only came in this time.
