England v Argentina: 2019 Women's World Cup – Live! | Soccer

23 minutes: Another foul on the flanks, Bonsegundo cutting Mead. Initially, England uses a prepared routine that ends with the ball sliding just past its pole.

21 minutes: England certainly dominates this match, but has not yet created a real chance. "The English side are very fun to watch in this game," Josh Reynolds writes. "I guess the term is" marauding "?" It's probably this one. Lucy Bronze certainly marauds.

18 minutes: Gentile gives the ball and England attacks excellently. Four players run without scoring in the area, the four defenders in front of them, but Scott's center is poor, deviates from the nearest Argentinian and heads for Correa.

16 minutes: Houghton took a free kick 30 meters from the goal, allowing him to pbad the bar.

14 minutes: Gentile glides on Bronze and gives a free kick. "Does the 21st Club statistician suggest that Luton Town would have an 11% chance of beating Barcelona?" Asks Mac Millings. "I ask purely as an interested observer, and certainly not as a very entertained supporter of Watford."

13 minutes: There is always an English player in the space on the wing. They developed through the midfield, with Mead trailing alone to his left. Finally, they go directly to Bronze, whose cross finds Scott, whose head is too close to Correa.

10 minutes: Argentina wins a free kick on the center line and takes a ridiculous time to put the ball in position and take it. England points a little bit and looks grumpy.

8 minutes: Another run of Mead, which this time beats Sachs to save time, burst into the surface, and then gets completely uncomfortable when she tries to center herself. The ball and she end up being offside.

7 minutes: A wonderful long pbad from Moore finds Mead on the left, which turns Sachs, turns her over again, then loses the ball while she continues to try to beat her without doing anything else.

3 minutes: Another Parris runs and crosses. Stabile has not behaved well so far, and she looks ready for a tough evening on the left back.

1 minute: England, dressed in a very fine shade of dark red, launches the game. In less than 30 seconds, Parris centers on the right and Bronze throws himself at the center of the post. She runs into Barroso. The ball hits her face and escapes the ball. .

Halfway to the Argentinean anthem the mascots decide that it's probably over and run away.

"It's a luxurious sum in the locker room of England. (Two varieties of sparkling energy drink ?!) I can not imagine that Argentina's is almost as well supplied. This is clearly the case Le Havre vs. Le Havre, "writes Peter Oh, who adds:" Given the gaping gap between resources and quality between these two camps, are you sure that Neville did not not say "We do not have any illusions that it's going to be a difficult match"?

I thought it was an important comma.

The teams are outside and ready for the hymns. Meanwhile, a statistician writes:

Argentina should park the bus, as against Japan in its opening match, with 39% possession of the ball, made 28 tackles against 14 for Japan, 35 clearances for Japan, 10 successful, 166 badists for Japan with 583 and 0-0. (Japan had only three shots on target).

This is Phil Neville's pre-match reflections:

We wanted to refresh it a bit. We refreshed it and recruited players in great form that match the profile of the match. I thought they were fantastic against Japan. We will have to dismantle a resolute, determined and witty team, which also has good players in front. We have no illusions, it will be a difficult match.

There is only half an hour left up to the point of delivery. Here are some pre-game readings for you:

England makes four changes to the team that beat Scotland 2 to 1 on Sunday. Ellen White, who scored in this game, is replaced by Jodie Taylor and goaltender Karen Bardsley is ousted while Carly Telford enters. Jade Moore and Abbie McManus replace Keira Walsh and Millie Bright.

A look into the interior of England cloakroom. It looks like a well-stocked table, that.

England: Telford, Bronze, Houghton, McManus, Greenwood, Mead, Moore, Scott, Kirby, Taylor, Parris. Subs: Bardsley, Walsh, Shining, Stokes, Williamson, Daly, White, Stanway, Carney, Staniforth, Duggan, Earps.
Argentina: Correa, Sachs, Barroso, Cometti, Stabile, Bravo, Mayorga, Benitez, Banini, Bonsegundo, Jaimes. Subs: Santana, Oviedo, Gartón, Gomez, Potbada, Coronel, Chavez, Larroquette, Ippolito, Juncos, Menendez, Pereyra.
Arbitrator: Qin Liang (China).

Further reading while waiting for teams: today's Fiver is all about the game:

England and Argentina at the World Cup. The story is heavy – 1966, 1998 and 2002 – but the women have played only once before, at the 2007 World Cup, while the Lionesses had won 6-1. One could look forward to another one-sided match: Argentina ranks 37th in the world, while England ranks 3rd and Argentina does not stand out. was qualified only through a decisive win against Panama, but Argentina drew 0-0 with Japan, seventh. in their first match and their coach, Carlos Borrello, said the result "had really changed the dynamics" within his team. "If we can even get one point or three, that would be welcome," he said of the game. "We came to try. England is a great team, we know it. But we also have problems, we have pbadion and we will give everything.

"I think everyone in this tournament is here on merit and we do not underestimate absolutely any team," said England goaltender Karen Bardsley. "I think we are very prepared for anything that could happen. We must treat it as if we were going to play one of the best countries. We must be extremely respectful of what could potentially happen. "

If England wins tonight, they will qualify for Group D with a game to play, even if that does not mean they can relax: Japan beat the lord. Scotland in Rennes earlier in the day, which means that the identity of the group winners, who have a draw draws the knockout stage against one of the third ranked teams (while the finalist will face the winners Group E, which includes two of the top eight teams from FIFA, Canada and the Netherlands Vivianne Miedema) would be decided in the last game.

Whatever it is, and most importantly, welcome. Now, read this:
