USA Ladies beat New Zealand Ladies 5-0.

USA were 3-0 up after 36 minutes. All 3 goals were scored by New Zealand centre back Moore. Not only a hat-tick of own goals, but a perfect hat trick, scored with the right foot, left foot and the head.

She was subbed in the 40th minute, after which the USA scoring rate declined.

To be fair I'd have asked to come off if it was me. Straight to the bar - mine's a large one. Tough day at the office. :LOL:
 
Just seen the goals, wow bad luck ?
It’s not even like she can forget her last bad shot like a golfer would ??
Two of them were bad luck at a push but the left foot one was awful. Not surprised she was hooked after that.

Amazingly, she plays for Liverpool, so this is top flight defending we're seeing here, not some minnow. And I normally defend women's football if anything. ?
 
Lukaku only touching the ball 7 times in the match at the weekend - and 1 of them was the kick off!:eek::eek:
Not sure what is going on his head but obviously not enjoying his football at the moment.

Statistics can make it look worse than his performance actually was. I've always said Lukaku is a flat track bully and ive seen nothing in the PL to convince me otherwise. You couldnt rely on him to win you a title like you could Origi?

Yes he'll score goals but he doesnt do enough off the ball if he's not scoring goals. He was often a ghost for Everton and Yernited. Maybe Italian football suits him.

Another expensive mistake that Chelsea have made.

If he came to west ham he would be the perfect fit for us. Antonio isnt a striker and finally is showing it. Maybe we will finally drop him.

Lukaku for me is the one I always though yes he would be the best fit for us

Shame to see him wasted for Chelsea

Maybe a warning to rice..don't return to a place just to prove a point .. go somewhere that suits you...

Again i'm not sure he'd fit at West ham unless they changed. Lukaku needs service and balls in front of him, not sure sure laying off with his back to goal is his forte. I could be wrong like.

If he's not scoring goals he's generally anonymous from the games i've seen him play. Him and Benteke are very similar in terms of what they offer.

It's not a shame he's wasted at Chelsea, i find it hilarious?

you see any of him in italy last year Stu? think you do him a bit of a disservice personally, especilly with the Benteke comparison

current situation more about what he said off the pitch isnt it?

To be fair if he not scoring goals Antonio is completely anonymous...

At least with Lukaku you know he has technic when striking the ball

I think he would work well with Bowen supporting him

Only bits to be honest, i've based my opinion from what i've seen from him in the PL over the years. Like i said maybe he's more suited to Italian football.

Comparison with Benteke wasnt a direct ability v ability, he's a better player than Benteke. I just think they're both similar in what they offer off the ball if their not scoring goals.
