Spain look a better side, although I reckon they have a defensive rick in them. England seem very 'get it out wide and hope something happens'.

James who wasn’t that bothered to start with has now decided to take a shower.

This England team, definitely the starting XI, remind me a bit of Villa under O'Neill. They rely on counter-attacking and when they come up against a team who can deal with it effectively they struggle to get out of their own half.

More Bruce like, little idea apart from defend, get it out wide the odd time there's an attack, and hope.

After watching that first half you might be right. But Sarina Weigman is a much better coach than Bruce could ever hope to be.

My recollection from a couple of years ago was that we hardly laid a glove on them so I think there's already been more attacking threat this time around.

Poor defending for the goal, both in allowing the cross to come in and then allowing the free header.

I can’t see Spain not scoring again and at the moment I don’t see a pattern to England that would allow them to build any pressure. Hemp looks like she can cause some problems on the right but nobody else really looks dangerous going forward.

Hoping Kelly can do something. Mead and Agyemang to come on.

Chlöe Kelly might make a difference but we can't get anyone forward from central midfield to support Russo

That 'header' was quite funny.
