Watching it on Portuguese TV. Half time analysis included a coat rack of Portuguese players' shirts from the PL.

Of course they chose Nuno Gomes' Rovers shirt.😍

The Chinese keeper. Awful.

She would struggle in the non league

I expected more from China.

Basically they were bloody useless.

Been enjoying this.

USA out, fancy England to win, only Spain to worry about now 🤞

[AllRoverAsia]

France are not too shabby. Anyone left at the QFs is a real threat, England are no where near top form yet and hopefully gaining form as this progresses. We have to beat Nigeria before the QFs.

Have you not been watching Japan? Surely the most impressive team so far. 

[JohnD]

I've read about them but not seen them yet.

[JohnD]

Japan 33/1 at the bookies 😯

[JohnD]

Scratch the 33/1, that was on oddschecker, generally available at 5/1

[Darrenbot]

A fully fit England team would have won this but they're missing 3 players from the tournament that would be in the starting 11,make that 4 if Walsh is still injured for the next match,i can see France beating them in the Semi final.

Have to be up early to watch this.  Unfortunately I'm only on holiday for the next 4 weeks. Not going anywhere just off work

Cute.

Come on Engerland 🤣

Looks like Nigeria haven't read the script 

[AllRoverAsia]

Nigeria are a roughhouse pub team made up of tall people.

Penalty turned down and Nigeria get the ball.

So it was never a foul? For certain the same incident anywhere else on the field would have been given as a foul.

For years I have wondered how the Nigerian scam money was then spent.

Thing is in football it only takes one good shot or a bit of luck to win a game.

Russo is a disappointment so far in this tournament, she messes up the chances she gets.

Finally Clattenberg is a fucking prick.

England have their work cut out here - Nigeria are competitive and strong and athletic and have a bit of a nasty streak too.  One mistake and they're out 

[M_B]

Working, but it's nervy on the radio. 

[roverandout]

Nigeria look alot more physical than England.  James has been anonymous 

[roverandout]

She's obviously not very bright knowing var is available

Penalties look to be England's best hope

Petulant again on the biggest stage from England. 

Knew what she was doing. Stupid.

[JohnD]

Cowardly from Lauren James.

Nigeria better in every aspect all over the field. It'll be a travesty if they lose.

[philipl]

Lauren James was having an absolute stinker even before that brain dead red card.

Got to fancy Nigeria now. their subs were already making a big difference.

We're watching a different game.

They're the perfect Championship team - big, physical and organised. They've hardly bossed the game - we've had by far the better chances.
