England Women v Brazil Women in the first ever Women's Finalissima at Wembley Stadium
The European Champions v Copa America Champions. The Lionesses v As Canarinhas (the female Canaries now to be known by me as the Canariesses) on a drizzly North London night at Prenton Park South. Mille has dropped out of the squad and ben replaced by Lotte. The opposing captains are none other than the Arsenal centre half duo Leah Williamson and Rafaelle Souza. Wonder how much they will meet on the pitch. Lionesses are 29 games unbeaten under Serena 🤞.
England in their new kit with the blue shorts started brightly am were in control from the off. The Canariesees were sat with a back 5 in a low block. The Lionesses were starting to find ways to work in the tight spaces. Some really good close control on display. The first goal came from the right wing when Ella "Eyelashes" Toone put Lucy's low cross into the net on 22⚽. Lauren. James put the ball in the net on 33 ⚽❌only for it to be disallowed for offside. Offside would become theme later on. Ahead and (too) comfortable at the break.
Second half and Verde-Amarela made a number of changes and started pressing much higher. The white and blues England struggled with the pressure and were making lots of mistakes at the back. Keep giving the ball away in dangerous areas. They somehow manage to keep the ball out of the net though with Mary making a couple of good saves. The Lionesses are struggling with the pressure and playing long balls which are mostly offside. Result no clearcut chances in the second half. Lauren Hemp is injured and replaced by Katie Robinson with 10 minutes to play. Into 5 minutes of stoppage time and the Canariesses finally get the their goal from an attack down the right, there is a scramble when the cross goes in and it smashed into the top of the net on 93. The Lionesses sudden lively for the last couple of minutes but it's all level at the whistle. Penalties up next 😬.
England go first which is always good. Georgia smashed as ever ✅️1-0. Adriana 1-1✅️ Ella oops 1-1❌️ Tancred saved 1-1❌️ Rachel Daly 2-1✅️ Rafaelle hits the crossbar 2-1❌️ Alex Greenwood scores 3-1✅️ Kerolin scores 3-2✅️ Chloe Kelly scores the winner (again) 4-2✅️
Wow. Just a week since our last penalty shootout and glad this didn't go to extra time or we wouldn't have made the last train. Gutted for Toony but she did get a goal. Lauren James goal looked onside to us so we should have won that. Serena's white and blue's move to 30 games unbeaten.
Ref let a lot go then booked some odd things. Lines people were acting like there was VAR but there wasn't. Letting the play carry on like someone else will make the decision for you if you don't bother. Stop it before someone gets hurt 😠.
Scranometer didn't give a score as Felafel and Halumi Wrap was very lovely just not eligible. Bottle 😡 tops 😡not 😡 allowed so boycotted the catering 😡.
POTM Awarded by Wendy is Lauren Hemp giving the right back such a hard time and swapping over to give the left full back a turn.
See you soon.
