00:00So a prestigious friendly between England and Brazil and let's take a look at the two
00:08starting lineups. An England squad without the injured Hampton, Williamson, Hemp and Laura James
00:13to name at least the Euros final starters. So an England debuting goal for 21 year old Manchester
00:19City keeper Kiara Keaty. Mare Letizia at right back in place of Lucy Bronze. An all-Arsenal
00:26front line of Meade, Russo and Chloe Kelly. The captain, Kiara Walsh.
00:34A Brazil team that is evolving under Arto Elias but they do select seven on the side that started
00:39their Copa America final triumph in the summer. While only Centurion, Villas Anorato, started
00:45the final listener in 2023 at Wembley. Injury keeps out Manchester City's Carolyn with none
00:51of the Brazil squad playing their football in England.
00:56Well, very big game for Kiara Keaty who's been part of England's squads but not going to look
01:09in in goal today with Hannah Hampton injured. What an opportunity for the young goalkeeper
01:15who's been in and out of the Manchester City side this season but a very promising, talented
01:20goal. And for Brazil, Angelina, their captain today, who's a firm fixture in their midfield,
01:24despite things changing around her, born in the US but Brazilian through and through, hoping
01:32to lead her country to World Cup triumph.
01:36a beautiful homecoming for the Lionesses as they play at the Etihad for the first time in 20 years.
01:48So away we go, the champions of Europe, the champions of South America, a beautiful homecoming for the
01:59Lionesses as they play at the Etihad for the first time in 20 years. Some great opposition to face, fresh off,
02:07they're coming two-time European champions.
02:13Even with that triumph, England, of course, as any champions do, looking forward, looking ahead, Lucy.
02:18Yeah, I mean, football always keeps moving forward. Nobody will ever forget the Euro's achievements
02:24at this team. But that's in the past now, they move forward, new era, new cycle into the World Cup and we can't wait.
02:32We're used to England being a settled side, that's not the case for Brazil.
02:38A large pool of players to choose from, and they've been rotating that. It used to be a side that you could name their 11, but not anymore.
02:49Legends retiring, new faces in the line-up. It's one of the younger players in the side, Virginia.
02:56There are several players who play in the US. A squad with players playing for Brazilian clubs, but in Europe as well.
03:04New spread for a side, who have been back to do well in the home World Cup.
03:15Smeritsa playing that ball forward. Virginia, who handled that. Kira Walsh, the captain for this one.
03:23And the referee, Lee Simon, from the United States.
03:27Both teams say we'll feel this game is important. It means playing against different styles leading up to the World Cup.
03:34And Brazil will play like nothing that England played in the Euros as well. That sort of style.
03:39It's direct, athletic. Yes, they've changed the team and they're looking, obviously, for their whole World Cup in 2027.
03:47Here's Anurato dropping off the front and looking to switch it through.
03:51Lujia Miller, who's in here, just from Brazil early on.
03:54Couldn't make a clean contact, really, and that pressure got back.
03:58So Keating not tested early.
04:00I'm sure she thought she was.
04:02Yara Keating there, gonna be tested.
04:05Lujia Miller, there's a little bit of a high line, not...
04:08Couldn't really get the pressure on the ball.
04:10You should think that Carter was perhaps playing her onside, but that second touch just got all wrong.
04:21There's all the practical flexibility in a lot of the games they played.
04:25In fact, they showed that the last time they faced England.
04:28Changing their system in the second half, which really caused England issues in that second half.
04:33Yeah, we were trying to decide whether they were going to still play their back three,
04:36and they are, by the look of it, against England, where they were going to try and match England up.
04:41But they were looking in those wide areas, that's for sure, to try and put England behind the full-backs.
04:49We're so used to seeing Brazil sides with the likes of Marta and Dabinia in the line-up,
04:54but they're looking forward, Brazil.
04:57She will still be there, Marta.
04:59I'm telling you, Sev, she will still keep on playing.
05:032031, is what you say?
05:04Well, definitely 2027.
05:06Absolutely.
05:07She wouldn't miss it for the world.
05:08She said for now, she's stepping away, but you could bet she will be back for the big show in Brazil.
05:15How would you miss it?
05:17She still has the ability.
05:19Time that ball back.
05:23It's causing England a problem instead.
05:25Russo with a reverse pass to Toone.
05:27And Lorena was out of her goal.
05:29They doubted Brazil number one at the moment.
05:33Luda Sampaio.
05:35Angelina and Sampaio, the main midfield two for Brazil and something for them to build around
05:41as they rotate in the forward line in particular.
05:44Brazil are certainly on an upward trajectory for America.
05:49Winners.
05:50They always give, not play them often, but they always give England a good game.
05:53I know Emma Hayes had said that one of the best sides that they've played recently in Brazil.
05:59So, look ominous.
06:00One of the favourites probably for a home World Cup, but a lot of pressure, lots of pressure.
06:06So they have reached a World Cup final in 2007 when Marta announced herself again on the world stage.
06:13Here's Meade.
06:15Kelly.
06:17To the front line.
06:20Camille and Russo.
06:22It's Leon in the Champions League.
06:24Letizia.
06:30Hunter covering, but may Letizia have so much debate around her, particularly before this international camp.
06:36I think with the expectation that Lucy Bronze would have a rest in at least one of the games, and that is the case.
06:43Terrific opportunity.
06:45You know, there's just a sort of new defence, new centre backs going forward.
06:50Obviously, Leo Williamson will come back in, but I think places are up for grabs.
06:55And Lucy Bronze will still keep playing, another one who will still keep playing.
06:58But Letizia has played so well for Manchester United and centre back.
07:02But you've just got to fit into the team in the way that Serena wants to play.
07:06I think she sees her as a deputy at the moment for bronze.
07:09So we will turn to that subject.
07:12So we're not in this game, but here's Kelly.
07:16Kelly.
07:17Too close to the goalkeeper.
07:19Lorena.
07:24Virginia.
07:27No one on the other side.
07:32And Virginia to the younger players in that forward line.
07:39Jim Miller.
07:40She seems to be leading from the front at the moment.
07:44Cross comes in and Keating plays.
07:46Yeah, that's good.
07:47Good for Keating.
07:48She just needed something, didn't she?
07:50A claim or a save.
07:52Just to sort of settle the nerves.
07:54This is her stadium, you know.
07:55Manchester girl.
07:57What a proud moment for her and her family.
07:59Absolutely.
08:00There was doubt about who would make their debut in goal.
08:04It was the fear during the Euros that if something happened to Hampton,
08:08then there'd be a debutant during the tournament.
08:10It didn't happen, though.
08:11Yeah, I mean, Serena never lets on what she's thinking,
08:14but she had to show her number two today, which I thought was quite interesting.
08:18It's really been talked about, the sort of physicality that her team would expect from this Brazil squad.
08:35And the duels that they would have to endure and try and win.
08:44England faced every kind of challenge you can imagine in the Euros,
08:48and overcame all of them.
08:50Incredible fashion.
08:51Greenwood.
08:52Take the set-piece for England.
08:54Plays it forward.
08:55Lorena's calm within.
08:56Backpedalling.
08:57Instead, Brazil can break.
08:58Udjimila has it.
08:59Luani up with her.
09:00Udjimila brushed off.
09:01An England player.
09:02The means.
09:03That's great covering.
09:04Great covering from Mesbi Morgan.
09:05That is where Brazil can hurt England.
09:06England either up the pitch attacking or up the pitch on a set-piece,
09:08and then it's about the pace of those forwards.
09:09It's a good covering from Morgan.
09:10It's good covering from Mesbi Morgan.
09:11That is where Brazil can hurt England.
09:12England either up the pitch attacking or up the pitch on a set-piece,
09:13and then it's about the pace of those forwards.
09:14It's a good covering from Morgan.
09:15They've been making the Euros debut during the competition.
09:16Played well against Sweden.
09:17She came on.
09:18Semi final against Italy.
09:31It's very good Compliers.
09:34Let's go.
09:35Okay, it's the day for her.
09:40You can bury her.
09:411-0.
09:47Marisa, and Yasmin pumping it on, in the hard way for England to prepare for really, because
09:57of the way Brazil have been changing their team over the last few years, Marisa will
10:05hang that into the penalty area, a walk with the people to come for something like that,
10:09but he will deal with it.
10:11They certainly get buddies in the box, don't they, Brazil if they can, the ball coming from
10:16wide areas, the width is quite important to them, it's all about pace, all about moving
10:23the ball quickly once they get in their position half.
10:26Keating, Michael Manchester City used to playing out from the back, this is pretty good, but
10:31here's Brazilian Villanarato, with a chance to shoot and a chance to score, it's exactly
10:36what she does.
10:38The most experienced player in the Brazil side, strikes early in Manchester.
10:44It's been threatening, Sev, haven't it, Brazil, not quite managed to get a shot away, but
10:50I tell you what, that is a terrific finish, from Villanarato, you can see the reaction on
10:58the sidelines, they're all out in the technical area.
11:03That is a big goal for Brazil, you just show the threat that England are, you know, they're
11:12there to be beaten, they're at the top of the game, but this is about getting the ball
11:15out of her feet and then getting that ball in the, terrific shot in the bottom corner.
11:20Cast, nowhere near it really, Chiara Keating, well placed, here, San Arto.
11:28Matu Elias, he enjoyed that finish, from his experienced striker, 44th goal for Brazil, on her
11:42125th cap.
11:43I like the celebration as well, not the start that Keating would have wanted, but the threat
11:50is always there from Brazil, you give them half a chance, they certainly can finish.
11:54England, being exposed here, if Virginia picks it up, Brazil, looking dangerous, Virginia
12:03Miller, trying to turn away, what I would say though, is we're used to seeing England start
12:11slowly, and they usually come back.
12:13Yeah, I mean, starting slowly, conceding first, you know, it's not sustainable, but somehow
12:20this team have always got the belief, they find a way to get back in game, so this will
12:24be tough, we always knew this was going to be tough this afternoon.
12:27Lost by Russo, Barney, and all of a sudden, England four against four, for Brazil here, Virginia,
12:35double, visitors, Angelina clipping it forward, oh no, he didn't really catch hold of that,
12:47but, it's working out for Brazil at the moment, Yasmin, sends in a teasing cross, lovely ball
12:54in, really difficult to deal with, will it be a corner, it's a goal kick, unfortunately for
13:00England who under pressure.
13:01Yeah, just, I think just lost the ball there, Keating, but just putting this back line of
13:07England under pressure, they're really struggling to cope with the movement, and the pace, and
13:11the way that Brazil move the ball, just need to have a steady shout, yes they're building
13:17connections between that new back four, but, he knows, hit England early, and hit them with
13:23a little bit of intensity, and it's a problem.
13:27Russo, Kelly.
13:31Now, Stamway.
13:32Now, before the Euros, even in competitive games, as Keating does play out, England did
13:48have some iffy results at times, had some iffy displays, but when it came to competitive action
13:53at a major tournament, they switched things on, these sort of tests, and what Serena Began's
14:00looking for, but not England being on the back foot like this at the moment, D'Agenia,
14:05excellent feet, struggling to clear as well, and that's behind for a goal kick in the end.
14:11It's a little bit too easy for Brazil at the moment, they feel that every time they get
14:16forward, they can either get a shot and goal, or indeed score.
14:20There's a little bit of calm.
14:24Can they connect passes England?
14:25Because that is the way to get the sting out of Brazil, and the way that they play.
14:31And here's Zanarato, serious operator really, not just at the international level, they're
14:36going to go club side, and to City Curran, top of the NWSL, standings as it goes, with
14:44one game left to play before they head into the playoffs.
14:47well in front.
14:49at the side, NWSL at the moment.
14:58a junior will be on the shoulder here of Carter.
15:05Here is Carter.
15:10Let's ride it through to Russo, it's a good run actually from Leticia, I don't think she committed to it.
15:19Yeah, the right idea, certainly Brazil have started a lot brighter than England, they knew that probably just hitting England with a bit of tempo, removed the ball quicker, too easy to carve open at the moment, but England know that they have the players that can hurt a team like Brazil.
15:38They're missing key players as well, but Walsh, who started the season very well for Chelsea, Keating, moves forward towards Russo, who generally holds up the ball very well, Meade, slide it through to Stamway, this is promising now for England, Stamway, Leticia, Russo waiting in the middle, and the cover,
16:08did come in the end, they just looked like they needed a little bit of whip there, England, but managed to get themselves through that central area with Stamway, that's where all the bodies are, so it's very difficult to find space, but Stamway did well, still defending in the end, a little bit last ditch, but that's better from England, more positive, got this crowd going a little bit.
16:27Angelina in the right place to clear, hiding space on that right hand side, and it will be a question for Yasmin, how defensive she decides to be, but England corner, I know England generally pretty good from set pieces, especially when Greenwood's taking them,
16:45in goes the corner, goalkeeper, didn't get near it really in the end, Meade, couldn't bring it down,
16:57Kelly, Greenwood,
17:02Walsh,
17:06Chloe Kelly,
17:09to make something happen, she generally does for England, Stamway,
17:13Greenwood to swing one in,
17:18can be a tester for the goalkeeper, but look, Lorena has been a safe pair of hands for Brazil,
17:26She's established herself,
17:29in the last few years,
17:32just a tester there for England,
17:35a real bit of positive play,
17:36here's Anorato, clever, not too clever though,
17:39I don't know if he didn't buy it in the end, but, her just dropping a bit deeper, may have surprised England,
17:47Jamila running off her,
17:49just needs a little bit of communication, who are you going to follow if you're centre-back, if not, then you've got to look at one of the centre midfielders,
17:56She's from Kelly,
17:58must be tricky for Letizia though, at the same time, to,
18:02have these long gaps,
18:04where you haven't played at right back,
18:06she's a good player though,
18:08in terms of, probably she'd find right back a little bit easier than centre-back,
18:12and then you've got all the pitch in front of you, and to the left of you.
18:16Throws that in, and that's worked out nicely for England, and then,
18:19effort from Toone,
18:20can't really catch hold of it.
18:22She's going to let fly then,
18:24the other two,
18:26because of the way the, the game has started,
18:28she's just making sure, but it just set up really nicely for her to strike through that,
18:32as we've seen her do, on plenty of occasions,
18:35Russo as ever,
18:37involves a safe pair of hands, in terms of knocking it into her,
18:39whether it's long from the goalkeeper, or in from wide.
18:44She's had a strong start to the season,
18:46or two, Manchester United,
18:49but she's lost it here,
18:51Abiyaz Anurato again,
18:52with options left and right, and slipping it to Jorginho,
18:58Brazil breezing through the England defence,
19:03and the South American champions,
19:06showing what they can do,
19:10in Manchester.
19:11Yeah, he can't believe it, well he can, he knows what his team's all about,
19:14which is far too easy,
19:16from an England point of view,
19:18cut open all of a sudden,
19:19they've got through the centre midfielder,
19:21and right on top of the centre backs,
19:23it's far too easy, and they've just got that power,
19:25and athleticism,
19:28and they look more likely to score than England,
19:32I think it looks like a toe poke there in the end, but,
19:35whatever, it doesn't really matter, outside of the foot,
19:37beats Keating,
19:39post nearly saves the goalkeeper,
19:42but you have to say,
19:44the start that Brazil have made,
19:45they've been positive,
19:46they've been front foot,
19:47been attacking,
19:48his team takes risks,
19:49by pushing players forward,
19:51but it's certainly paying off.
19:53I think Emma Hayes was onto something.
19:55Yeah.
19:57And they all want to impress as well,
19:58you know, we talked about,
20:00bringing different players into the squad,
20:02there's a lot of good players,
20:03and they all want to play in that whole World Cup in a couple of years.
20:06Well, kick off England, putting it straight out of play,
20:11again it has to be remembered,
20:13England missing a fair few players for this one,
20:16but,
20:18it's part of it as well,
20:19England looking at their depth,
20:20and other ways they can play,
20:23not playing into Brazil's hands at the moment.
20:27I do think when you look at the depth of England,
20:30that's a sort of,
20:31these couple of friendly windows,
20:34October and December,
20:35I think it's really important.
20:39It's been new plays for Real Madrid.
20:42Marisa,
20:44again,
20:45not afraid to just send it into the penalty area either,
20:47mixing things up here, Brazil.
20:50Not quite got the connections at the back yet,
20:52England,
20:53new players playing together,
20:55missing,
20:56Max of Williamson.
21:00There's a player of the head of Meade,
21:01Meade covering here,
21:03going to help England defend.
21:05Think back to when England were,
21:073-0 down very early on against Germany.
21:09Friendly at Wembley,
21:11recovered from that to,
21:13a respectable score line in the end.
21:17Marisa,
21:18but at the moment,
21:20Brazil easing their way through the England defence.
21:22Comfortable.
21:29Marisa,
21:30clips it into the penalty area.
21:32A personal foul leaving it for Yasmeen.
21:36Marisa,
21:37then Payou again to send it in,
21:39and he got the header,
21:40on target.
21:41In the,
21:44it looks like that,
21:46there all at it.
21:47East Brazil,
21:48first 11,
21:49First 11, they were just shell-shocked.
21:55Russo.
21:58And Walls slipping it through.
22:01And, oh, this will be interesting.
22:04Now then, this could be a red card, you know.
22:08For Angelina, it is.
22:12The Brazil captain sent off.
22:14And what I would say, we do have VAR in operation, but when you looked at that, it's a case of whether it was denying a goal-scoring opportunity.
22:29This is a really interesting one. Could England be off the hook here? A little bit of a boost. Did really well to just run across the front.
22:38Now, was Tarsiani in a position where she could cover? I mean, it's a silly, silly challenge.
22:44She's finished to make from Angelina.
22:46That's the only question, Lucy, isn't it? Because it's not a clear attempt to win the ball or anything like that, and she's outside the area in any case.
22:55I mean, you're 2-0 away from home, you don't need to make that, because all of a sudden, you're looking and playing with 10 players for the remainder of this game,
23:03and that just makes it a little bit more difficult for Brazil, who started absolutely brilliantly opening 20 minutes.
23:12It's time to leave, I think, for Angelina.
23:14She's going to have to accept it in this case, and so the New Jersey-born captain of Brazil is handing the armband to Lorena.
23:28She's shaking her head, but in terms of decision-making, it's not the last minute.
23:34It's the opening part of a game where you've just gone to and elope, you've dominated the opposition, she knows it.
23:39All of a sudden, it's like, wrong decision.
23:43You didn't need to.
23:44Lorela Toon's still away from goal.
23:46She might have scored a goal, but they would have still had 11 on the pitch.
23:49It's interesting how football changes, because Brazil, I think there have been worries around the England camp,
23:56the England supporters, that England were going to be on the end of a very heavy beating today, the way that Brazil has started.
24:03Still could be the case with 10, of course, but...
24:06It just gives England that lifeline that they desperately needed to be part of this game.
24:12So, Angelina goes off, but Artur Elias has to re-shuffle things.
24:23We're all over England, but now England have a chance to recover.
24:27We know they're pretty good at that.
24:31Restarting with this free-kick for Greenwood or Meade.
24:42It's actually in a position here where it's tricky for the goalkeeper to know who's going to have a go from here.
24:59So Simon sending off the Brazil captain, Angelina.
25:05Greenwood!
25:06Oh, so close, and then it should have been put in by Carter.
25:12That's right, from Greenwood.
25:15He's got some technical ability.
25:18Greenwood, goalkeeper, well beat.
25:21It's difficult because it comes at Carter quite quickly.
25:25Kicks up off the grass.
25:28Really a natural goal scorer.
25:35That's brilliant from Greenwood.
25:36Just a centimetre or so.
25:38He could have done with it being Russo on the end of that to react.
25:43Oh, Serena.
25:48Just cut it quickly.
25:50England creating opportunity.
25:57Meade.
25:58And England!
25:59Not quite.
26:00Toon.
26:02He got a little knock on the way from Yasmin.
26:06He's not happy about it.
26:07Yeah, I mean, everything about that was good in terms of how early everything was done.
26:12So as soon as the ball comes to Meade, first-time cross, Toon knows that she has a shot early.
26:20It won't take the goalkeeper by surprise.
26:24But watch Meade.
26:25Straight away, she's not thinking about taking a touch.
26:26She's putting the ball in the right area.
26:28And, two, she doesn't have to hit it with any power.
26:30She's just trying to get that accuracy.
26:32It looks like she's injured.
26:35She's gone down.
26:36And that is a whisker away again.
26:38Yeah, the Brazil goalkeeper holding her hamstring after taking the ball there.
26:45And you can see an immediate pain then had to get up to Pete to deal with England's attack.
26:51But that's not a promising sign for Brazil either.
26:56And you'll see what, if they do have to change.
26:59They've got Claudia, Fluminense goalkeeper, who's only had two caps.
27:03And Carlinha, who's uncapped.
27:05The swings and round of hearts of football.
27:09Yeah, there's been a little bit of end-to-end chaos.
27:13Everything's happening already.
27:14We've only had 25 minutes or so, but we've had a bit of entertainment.
27:18You should be used to this.
27:19I know, I am getting deja vu from a lot of England games, Seb.
27:23Some of the feelings that I had in the summer when I thought everything was a disaster.
27:28And then England just pulled it out of nowhere.
27:31And the celebration comes on Arato.
27:36But they would just fly in Brazil at this point.
27:38And then, what you don't want was Angelina to make a decision like that.
27:43Ella Toon did what she needed to do, get her body in between Angelina and the ball.
27:48Well, Lorraine are back on her feet.
27:53And it was a huge cheer, actually, from the Brazil supporters who are behind her goal.
27:57And a huge roar when Lorraine got back to her feet.
28:02Popular figure in goal.
28:04Luis, the goalkeeper for Kansas City.
28:06Same club as Bia Zamorato.
28:10Walsh.
28:11England at six.
28:12They can take advantage.
28:13Gonna be a corner.
28:14Luis will do the best to drag her team back into this game.
28:15Willing runner.
28:16Always involved.
28:17Even if the team are not playing well.
28:18She's always involved in doing things positive.
28:20Greenwood with the draft.
28:24Greenwood with the first two.
28:28And the third team is gonna be in there.
28:29I'm just gonna be in the corner.
28:31He's gonna be the best to drag her team back into this game.
28:36Willing runner.
28:38Always involved, even if the team are not playing well.
28:49Greenwood with the corner the best was unable to clear it away
28:55Helping out and then that's put straight out of play by England
29:01I think I suppose there's two sides of this
29:04Serena Vigman would have been the worry that Brazil were creating chances at will but then also
29:11How helpful it is playing against 10?
29:14Yeah, I mean all sorts of they have to use these
29:17Periods now where they're playing in the next two years England to to try new things to blood
29:22Younger players in you know to the squad was starting to age a little bit
29:27Can you bring other players because there's a lot in the pipeline at England?
29:30She knows that she has in the 23's mirror what she does with the senior squad so she can see them a lot of being brought into the squad
29:36But they need all these experience playing against 10 playing when you're 2-0 down
29:42Doesn't do us any good watching but
29:44It's a good experience
29:46It's a good experience
29:49A mixture of young players uncapped players you see there
29:54On the right-hand side for England see a Kendall
29:57I think Rousseau can sense that she's got the beating of Issa Haas she's putting herself on her making sure she hassles her she does lose the ball
30:09My first reaction there I'm not sure that that was a free kick that's ended up as a yellow car but I am quite far away up here
30:16It's just a turn to keep hold of the ball it was cleared I'm not sure it was a yellow, it was a foul yet but I'm not sure it was a yellow card
30:23I think it can be a yellow card when the opposition has had a player sent off
30:25Yes
30:27Yes, yeah and the player goes down holding their ankle that's not sure it was a yellow card
30:31I think it can be a yellow card when the opposition has had a player sent off
30:35Yes, yeah and the player goes down holding their ankle that helps
30:39It's almost getting the food to Loani
30:41Stan way
30:43Mead urged on
30:45No support too much on the pass
30:47It was turned on
30:48Yeah, it was a foul yet
30:49But I think it was a yellow card
30:50It was a foul yet but I'm not sure it was a
30:52A yellow card
30:53But I'm not sure it was a
30:54A yellow card
30:55No
30:56It's almost getting that food to Loani
30:58Stan way
30:59Mead
31:00Mead
31:01No, it's gone
31:02No support too much on the pass
31:04It has turned provider for who said this season
31:07After
31:09This guy against Leon
31:14Virginia
31:15So far
31:17I think they still have an issue that they've probably had in recent years where
31:21When you're playing against a team we've got
31:23A lot more legs in midfield than England do then
31:26At times when they lose possession
31:28It can look
31:29Really stark
31:30And
31:31Really obvious
31:32It's easy for teams to get right on top of England's goal
31:34We've just seen
31:35Tonight already
31:38Brazil
31:39Frontline that contains players who play in Europe
31:41And
31:42In the United States
31:48It's long for Laetitia to deal with
31:50Hits it back
31:51It's a pitch towards Morgan
31:54That's me
31:57It's that ball in
31:58It's a million
32:00Put up hiding
32:02We thought they should have had a foul
32:05Siany
32:08Luani
32:10Wins a corner
32:11That's a credit to
32:12Yes and his Brazil team is still encouraging bodies forward
32:15Because it just puts pressure on England
32:19Greenwood still unhappy
32:20Decision not to give a free kick to England
32:22With a high foot
32:24Still making that point
32:29Still making that point
32:37It's a corner kick
32:42Yasmin
32:43To take this corner for Brazil
32:46Still threatening even with ten
32:48As the pass goes up
32:50Virginia
32:52Oh
32:53I was gonna say she dragged that wide
32:54But there's something Brazilian about the way it bent away from goal
32:55It was awkward to deal with
32:56It's something worth an effort
32:57Virginia's shown already in this game that she's positive
32:58You don't have to encourage her to have a shot on goal
32:59She'll do that
33:00I mean how on earth she saw a gap there
33:01But she's managed to create something
33:02Obviously always going wide
33:03But that's a problem
33:04If a player is determined to shoot
33:05Then you have to defend really well against them
33:06Ruso
33:07To release to Hesse at the moment
33:37Heating
33:38I don't know what she could do about either goal
33:41Carter
33:44As it goes straight
33:46To Marisa
33:48And able to win it back
33:52No clear signs
33:53Yet that
33:55Brazil are struggling with
33:57Ten
34:00To make that numerical advantage
34:02Couldn't slip it through to tune there Ruso
34:04She apologises
34:07To a former Manchester United teammate
34:10The basal back line of just getting a player each and sticking with them
34:14I don't know if it difficult
34:15But it just will allow
34:17For runners
34:21Well Ruso's seen a lot of the ball in his first half
34:23He often talked about strikes not having many touches
34:25That's not the case for Ruso
34:27She's just saying Seb
34:28Just get it into my feet
34:29Whether I'm running or whether I'm coming towards you
34:30And then you've
34:31They've got to make sure that they have the runners beyond
34:33Because that's the way to disrupt this
34:35Brazil defence
34:36It's on market man to man
34:42Tissier
34:44Carter
34:48Just slip that pass through
34:50Just gets away
34:51But there's going to be a spare player isn't it?
34:52Yeah
34:53It looks like it's Carter at the moment
34:54So they're matching up at the back
34:56Brazil
34:57And then it just means that one of the midfielders has to make sure that they
35:02Run beyond or they make themselves spare
35:06But of course Arsenal have a lot of top players in their squad so there's plenty of rotation in that front down
35:18It's going away by Letizia
35:21It's going away by Letizia
35:24Well he's done
35:26So he's closed down
35:27By Meade
35:29He was caught there
35:30So it will be a free kick
35:33I don't need to tackle
35:35He's just made the mistake and then tried to rectify it by clattering Beth Meade on the touchline
35:40So there's no choice but to get everybody behind the ball
36:00Any discussion of this set piece in the middle
36:03In the middle
36:07Because when you have a centre-back playing at right-back
36:10To help you in these sort of situations
36:14There's probably four centre-halves across their back line
36:18But one of them is taking this free kick in Greenwood
36:21Swings it in as well
36:24And it's in the end
36:26Virginia
36:28Yeah, it's a good point that Seb about the
36:30Four centre-halves in the back four
36:32It means that the full-backs still have to push themselves on
36:34Even though it might not be
36:36Natural to them
36:40To
36:42Letizia
36:48Carter
36:52Now Walsh
36:54Hope to get more time in the ball in this sort of situation
36:56Greenwood
36:57No pressure really being that spare player
37:01There's a challenge off the ball there even with two players down
37:04So this may be something for the VAR to have a little look at
37:08We even spoke about getting involved in duels and the physicality of this Brazil team
37:13And
37:15At the receiving end of a couple of challenges
37:17All about the runs into the box
37:27Nobody's watching the ball but Russo checks to run in behind and then gets caught herself
37:31Just a little bit of a push isn't it?
37:32He's on her heart up and then takes Russo out
37:34Just unexpected
37:36Oh, he ended a little
37:37He ended a little
37:39He's on her heart up and then takes Russo out
37:42Just unexpected
37:44He ended a little
37:45A little
38:06So Greenwood
38:08Told to carry on
38:13So
38:15Here we go for this corner for England
38:23Greenwood goes short to Kelly
38:24We'll play it back to Greenwood
38:27Not quite the cleanest from England
38:29So far with their set pieces
38:31So has Greenwood hitting the ball
38:33Just frustrating on top of everything else in this game
38:36He's not really had anything clear-cut in front of goal
38:39This is the first of four games for the Lionesses
38:42This is the first of four games for the Lionesses
38:47Homecoming tour as it were
38:50They travel to Derby
38:52To face Australia who beat Wales today in Cardiff
38:58Russo
39:00Let's get through
39:01Meade
39:04Meade
39:05Can't work out in the end
39:10Yeah, they're switched wings haven't they
39:11Meade
39:13Chloe Kelly
39:14And just the way that they're playing
39:15Just allowing
39:16Just the
39:17Three natural
39:18Centre-backs allowing
39:22Leticia forward as well
39:24A little bit like a
39:26Back three
39:27Because obviously
39:28Being a player up
39:29I've got the space to do that
39:30To Elias
39:42A slightly frustrated figure of course
39:47Here's Russo
39:48Sliding it through
39:50Meade
39:51Still Meade
39:53And couldn't get the shot away
39:55She feels she was caught
39:57Referee not interested
39:58She was going to
40:00Let fly before then
40:01Beth Meade
40:03The actual goal scorer that she is
40:06Russo
40:09And almost stood still there for Meade
40:11Shot
40:13Running goal
40:15That's a foul though
40:19It's only wasn't happening with Beth Meade
40:21In the penalty area on the
40:23Previous attack where she claims
40:24Could play again by Russo
40:25Everything's going through her
40:26In that final third
40:28She actually gets herself free
40:30Thought she was going to take it on her left foot
40:32That's not enough
40:34And that for me
40:35Can that be the strike?
40:37She had the touch before
40:38That I think she should have gone down
40:40Earlier
40:41Gives the referee a decision to make
40:42But certainly not the second one
40:46Full view of that
40:48The referee
40:49Taking on
40:54Best defender
40:59Greenwood
41:00Swinging
41:02Goal
41:03He'll get it away
41:04Morgan to send it back in again
41:05There's Toon
41:09And a Toon again
41:12Offside in the end
41:13To England
41:14Not flowing
41:15Just yet
41:16Just a little bit sloppy
41:17In the different phases
41:18I think we
41:20Look a little bit
41:21Fragile at the back
41:22I think that
41:23Even
41:24They're down to ten
41:25Brazil is still
41:26Offering a threat
41:28Even though England have had the most of it
41:29Since the red card
41:31And they're refreshing
41:33The backroom staff
41:35They're there next to
41:36Serena Vigman
41:39David Schmidt
41:40Another assistant
41:41To the
41:43Team
41:44Again Vering
41:45Leaving to become
41:46Head coach of the Netherlands
41:50Virginia
41:52Virginia
41:54In this finding way to shoot again
41:55Carter
41:57The blocking
41:59Actually still playing in certain way
42:00Even though they're a man
42:01Player down
42:02They're playing it with a back three
42:03But still allowing
42:04The same number
42:06In that forward line
42:08Again taking risk
42:09Because
42:10It's risk and reward
42:12Well they've got two goals out of
42:14Pushing players forward
42:16And attacking with that intensity
42:19Intensity in that 50-50 there
42:23Virginia
42:28She felt she was
42:30A free kick is given in the end
42:31Just
42:34So busy
42:36And it suits Brazil
42:37To be like that
42:38Player down
42:402-0 up
42:41They don't need to
42:43Do anything
42:44If they stop start this game
42:45Then it will suit them more
42:46Than it will England
42:50Impressed so far
42:52Virginia
42:54San Diego Wave
42:55The ball again
42:56Holding off Carter
42:58The ball again
42:59Holding off Carter
43:02Ziani
43:04Jamila
43:05She had a bit more time than she realised
43:06And I think that's because she was offside
43:10Again it's
43:12Too easy
43:13And it's alright looking at
43:15The back four but
43:16They don't have to protect in front
43:20They have to stop that ball going through
43:22And just putting the back four under pressure all the time
43:24Completely
43:26There's no pressure on the ball for that pass through
43:28No pressure on Carter
43:30Who's been
43:31Who's looked to switch this ball out towards Meade
43:33Meade
43:36Meade looking for Stamway
43:38It's actually
43:39Pretty good looking for
43:40Meade
43:41Zanarato at the end
43:42And she gets a goal kick out of it
43:44I've not really seen enough from
43:46Stamway and Walsh
43:47In that central midfield area
43:48For England
43:49That's what Stamway can do best
43:50And
43:51Yes it was a
43:53A goal kick
43:55Zanarato what a competitor
43:57She is
43:59Can England get Kira Walsh on the ball
44:00In terms of her passing prowess
44:02Can she be that extra player
44:03But
44:04There's all a freaking tight hold of her
44:06Celebration was almost the same as her scoring
44:11And she will out showing her place to get there
44:12But Morgan
44:14Likewise
44:16Down for stride
44:18Who
44:19Is in the United States
44:27Started just one week after
44:29Featuring Greenland in the Euros
44:32To the club side
44:34To move on quickly
44:37Where is it?
44:42Still Brazil
44:43Players
44:44Bound themselves
44:46A bit of time on the ball
44:48Virginia
44:49Going to wriggle away from
44:51Leticia but that's where Leticia's best
44:52Leticia's best
44:54Russo
44:56And Marisa
44:57Actually
44:58Saw that coming
44:59Seb if you did
45:00Just started watching this game five minutes ago
45:02And probably wouldn't have known
45:04That
45:05One of the teams had
45:06A player less
45:08And I think that is credit to Brazil
45:09But also
45:10An indictment on
45:11England
45:12Not making the most of
45:13A player more
45:14Stamway
45:15Now Meade
45:16Tarciani
45:17On her back
45:19Freaky does come
45:20Look at Meade's reaction
45:21She's been at the receiving end
45:23She's been at the receiving end
45:24She's been at the receiving end
45:25It's not funny but it's
45:26Just that frustration of
45:27When am I?
45:28When is it going to go my way?
45:29Spitting her body in between the ball
45:30The player
45:31I mean from Tarciani's point of view
45:32She probably did go down
45:33Quite easily
45:34Gets herself in the way
45:35I'm going to argue that it is funny actually
45:37Seeing Bethany react like that because
45:38Certainly a tussle with a top defender like Tarciani
45:42I mean, from Tassiane's point of view, she probably did go down quite easily and gets herself in the way.
45:48I'm going to argue that it is funny, actually, seeing Bethany react like that, because...
45:57Certainly a tussle with a top defender like Tassiane.
46:05Don't you have set easy so far for England in this first half?
46:12Greenwood goes towards the back post.
46:18Kelly was close to that, Virginia clears it away.
46:21Come off an England shirt last, no England thrown.
46:24I don't think Brazil haven't done since...
46:27Angelina sent off his sit-back and defend deep.
46:31Now they're still offering a threat, they know that they're causing problems for England's defence.
46:37There's nothing I can say, just as impressive this from Brazil.
46:41That's where they started the game.
46:47Yasmin.
46:48Snap on the outlets as well.
46:50Gimbal down the line.
46:52That would be by Morgan.
46:55So, five minutes more to play.
46:58And to Elias, there's nothing a word about that at all.
47:03But I did see that stoppage.
47:07That Angelina was sent off.
47:09And then the goalkeeper went down as well.
47:12And it seems to be OK.
47:14Going forward to Luani.
47:15Kelly.
47:16Tomb tidying up.
47:17Carter.
47:18Carter.
47:19That ball into Russo has been on every time.
47:21Carter again.
47:22Leticia.
47:23Toon.
47:24Leticia.
47:25Toon.
47:26Leticia.
47:27Toon.
47:28Leticia.
47:29Toon.
47:30Leticia.
47:31Sliding into Russo again.
47:32Walsh chance to slide it through.
47:33Toon.
47:34Toon.
47:35Leticia.

47:54Toon.
47:55Toon.
47:56Walsh.
47:57Walsh.
47:58Walsh.
47:59Put the pass.
48:00The pass.
48:01But, she doesn't get the free kick.
48:02She was cool.
48:03The intention's there for England.
48:04runs the forward passes but it's not been quite right have it willing runners in tune and stanway
48:11but it's good defending in the end but it's just a little bit too far in front for the likes of
48:16stanway so she's always stretching they haven't really had that clear-cut opportunity from those
48:21forward runs so england have the throw in
48:27so scruffy from england so far in this match they've not got going even after the red card
48:42they haven't got going i'm really shocked by brazil's start and the ferocity of the way that
48:49they play particularly in forward areas and i haven't managed to get a grip of this game yet
48:54in goes stanway goal before half time feeling a lot better here ruso
49:07ruso to look for leticia couldn't take it in a stride she would have been in jasmine virginia
49:15miss carter stanway stanway again jamila getting back defended well from the front brazil
49:27brazil even with losing a player i'll be very pleased with this first half yeah some decision
49:47making just putting england on the back fork receiving a free kick at that point in the
49:52first half not being able to build at any sort of momentum england in this half
49:56it's always to look at this opening period and wasteful but at the same time brazil had 11 for the
50:06whole half you would worry what the scoreline would look like that's how well visitors have played
50:13they have a late free kick here with 10 players where will this go over naziani attacking it
50:25it's been 15 minutes or so since keaton has had to do anything but
50:31when you've got such tall players as brazil have got in these set pieces
50:35you've got to make sure if you're coming out you've got to get it
50:44so these are the ways team have played this half
50:52now brazil
50:56and supporters of this team have been these are the progression of the side
51:05that's a good time against russo yeah
51:13and russo just wants the ball as much as possible and she's
51:16had the better of it without scoring a goal
51:35now this may be the last chance of the half
51:49now this may be the last chance of the half
51:53the last chance of the half
