Once you’d recovered from the drama and excitement of it all, you good folk got voting to rate your top performers against the hosts…
Another game (AND WHAT A GAME!), another load of votes (despite being on so late on and most of us in bits afterwards) and another fair outcome of your clearly sensible views of the game, we think.
Your @teamsnap Player of the Match v Canada, was JODIE TAYLOR.
To think that that was Jodie’s first 90 mins since a knee op less than two months ago, is insane, given how much ground she covered and the way she absolutely nailed that goal. The more I see it, the better it looks. She got 39.9% percent of your votes. Once again in the top three, and you’ll see how this affects the running for the whole tournament, was the other goalscorer Lucy Bronze, with 29%. And, finally getting some recognition for another superb effort – England’s most consistent player? – is Jade Moore with 6.7%. Well played #Lionesses!
OVERALL TOTALS (FOR THE 5 GAMES SO FAR):
LUCY BRONZE = 21%
JILL SCOTT = 9.9%
FRAN KIRBY = 9.8%
