Nigeria were amazing, holding England to a draw and even dominating possession (41% - 39%) and attempts on goal (18-12). Hope they do better next time.
- 41% - 39%
  Who had possession the other 20% of the time!?
  
  'Contested'. Also, the possession has since been updated to 44-40 in England's favour.

I feel like England going down to 10 thew off Nigerias rhythm. The announcers kept talking about them having the extra player, but in the box it was always one or two green shirts surrounded by 6 white shirts. Lauren James going out for 2 games (I think?) is also a damn shame. I have no idea what she was doing there.
IT'S COMING HOME!!!
