England women odds-on to beat Brazil tonight. :shock:

I thought women's football was taking off but obviously not around the world.
Wembley sold out for a womens game. :-)
The odds look a bit dismissive of Brazil. That must be home advantage feeding in presumably.
I went to watch England women v Brazil at the Riverside Boro with my daughter couple of years ago, Brazil won 2-1 and deservedly so. It hasn't much bearing on today's game but without even looking at any stats is European women's football that far ahead of South American women's football at the top level? Surely not?

I'll give it a watch and look to lay England at around 1.5 depending on the start.

Dunno the stats I've seen are from friendlies which probably means they are misleading. But performances of both against Japan and Norway suggest the gap ain't that big. But I'll definitely be watching for enjoyment (hopefully) but also whether those odds are worth having a dabble.

Just 4-second delay on ITV, unless suspend monkey's watching a video.

I'm into England for a lay England backed into 1.32 ridiculous price. Brazil with 5 at the back looking defensive.

That is a good goal for the Lionesses. A Brazil block defence broken apart. Well done.

Brazil seem to be smaller. That doesn't mean they can't win, but Brazil look 2nd for every ball. And can't keep it and have offered no threat really.

Brazil changed the game at half time. England couldn't adapt. Then a penaulty shoot-out that England wins, against Brazil, how cool is that!
But come on girls, let's not do things the hard way PPPPLLLLEEEEASSSSSE!!!!
England were way better and then like rabbits in the headlights. How did they get a goal up? Attack, confidence. Then they turned to blancmange. But at least they held their nerve for the shoot-out. Good job. (Mens team, take note!)

I think Burnley will win this if they can. No carrying a draw home for glory. I like this team and Kompany and his team. It will be fascinating to see how they adapt back in the EPL.
