    She's got a rocket of a left leg.

    Like the way we're playing out from the back as much as possible.

    Only when the weak cool change came through in the second half.

    Pretty much an ideal result. Belting first half with starting line-up and then mass changes afterwards. Interesting to see Torpey get the nod over Raso. I like Raso's pace but a couple of the cut-backs Torpey delivered from long crosses, taking the ball in mid-air, I couldn't see Raso doing...

    Re-hashing the criticisms from the first game - he either plays all the kids at once or plays his favourites. Go know what we'll do if, say Gorrie goes down during the Olympics and Wheeler is asked to step up and play with KCC when she's hardly ever had the opportunity to do that. The issue is...

    I think you have to pick your team based on your opponents and your game strategy. Don't mind a team of mostly new players against Iran etc, but you have to have a more blended approach against the good teams. You need it for team morale and for working out a playing style. For the first 65...

    Fair to say, Gustavsson has been a pretty good squad development coach and a poor match day tactical coach. Today, his squad development has been poor as well.

    Yeah, that was nice. GK way off her line and Sam spotted it.

    Also thought Fowler was better than she has been at tracking back and defending when we lost the ball on that side. She has been guilty in the past of letting midfielders run off her but she showed more aggression and intent yesterday.

    Would think we'll be starting the A team against Philippines. I wasn't as bothered by last night's performance as some - it was a glimpse of the future and of course, it's going to be messy to start with. Whether Gustavsson is the right coach is another matter.

    Only watched the first half. Obs: thought Wheeler was good and grew into the role the more the game went on - can see her taking over from Gorrie. her link up play with Chidiac was slightly off most of the passing was a little short - very rusty and not a team that's played together much need...

    It's going to be the next coach that brings on the next generation, isn't it?

    It'll be a severe case of facepalm if he rolls out the same team against such lowly ranked opposition.

    The point the commentators made about this being a result of years of junior development, which emphasises this possession style, is the thing you'd hope FA will take forward.

    Spain's ball control is another level - what we need to aspire to.

    Lots of US articles linking him to the job. His best chance to win a World Cup. Next US team will be strong.

    Surely the midfield will be built around KCC, Wheeler and Chidiac? And others yet to emerge.
