    If found guilty, I hope he gets a lifetime ban. Why these greedy sods can't be satisfied with what they get for playing football is beyond me.

    Shame .

    Just didn’t get going .

    Spain dominated generally then played out time pretty well till the end .

    Ref wasn’t the best but cannot blame her .

    The better team won. Faster to the ball, well-organized in defence, and sharper when attacking. No doubt though it will inspire young girls to get out and play the game.

    She messed up for that penalty kick - England's keeper was clearly off her line before the kick was taken - should have been retaken.

    Yes we probably got lucky there .

    At the end she lost it a bit but as I say didn’t matter as we weren’t good enough.

    I don’t think there were robberies in this World Cup. The Americans were not that great, nor the Germans. Well neither lived up to reputation. The Australians had a go, and played with heart, but lacked finesse (only Kerr looked like she could play in a World Cup-winning side). The Swedes were good, very physical, but also lacked finishing (except the cracker in the 3rd/4th p/o). The correct teams were in the final. The Spanish played lovely football, passed and moved, hunted savagely for the ball when possession was lost. We had chances, but it would have been against the overall run of play. The finish for the solitary goal in the final was superb. Blame should not be placed on Lucy Bronze (as commentators seemed to), she’s been told to play up the field, but we didn’t cover and the finishing of the Spanish girl was sooo precise. They deserved the win, we deserved to be runners-up.

    No you can't blame Lucy, if she had released a pass a few seconds earlier and it resulted on an attempt at goal, she would have been praised. If fact her run was one of the few bits of inspiration England had. The best team won, we did not seem to be up for it today, sadly. Good game.

    No doubt the Express tomorrow will have in bold letters that Spain punished England as revenge for Brexit. <doh>

    Everton are so bad they have allowed Luton to escape the bottom 3 but the real reason to worry is that Luton play Chelsea next

    What has become of the Premier League since we left

    She was caught out of position because she did no pass the ball soon enough and the Spanish girls made full use of the space she had left behind her

    At time I thought Am I actually watching Watford because they made the same basic mistake we often do

    Such a shame as this was their only bad game

    Spain absolutely deserved that. The better team on the day.

    Maybe some could protest at the lack of signings like these Malaga fans have .
