One shot on target from England then - and I saw the shot on the news - it was a feeble half arsed attempt.
Good to see the women's national side have the same lion cub spirit that the mens side show when it comes to the crunch.
On a side note - it's interesting that there is only one Liverpool player in the womans England team (and yet LFC have won the last two league titles). But our mens team has a number of England internationals. Important lesson there. If you want to win things don't buy sh*t English players?
The women's team tends to reflect the men's team in a way. It's the big names that get into the squad first and then the remaining spots go to whoever. Lucy Bronze is a really good full back who signed for City at the beginning of the season from Liverpool and Natasha Dowie would also have been in the squad had it not been for her poor form this season (she's only managed 1 goal in 6 games).
We actually have quite a few British/English players in the Liverpool squad but they're not quite at the international level. Martha Harris, Rebecca Easton, Gemma Bonner, Fara Williams, Natasha Dowie and Kate Longhurst are all regular starters. Hannah Dale, Katie Zelem and Lucy Staniforth are squad players who don't get a lot of game time.
It's probably one of the reasons we're so low down in the table, some of the English girls aren't that great and like the men's team we only have one good goalscorer and when that person is off form or injured, the team struggles.
