:00:27. > :00:54.Hello. 150 years after the FA was founded in Central London we are in
:00:55. > :00:58.the capital for a vital World Cup qualifier. We're not sure if the
:00:59. > :01:02.founding fathers without the scene a women's World Cup with the finals to
:01:03. > :01:08.be staged in Canada, but England and Wales are determined to be there.
:01:09. > :01:16.The FA initially did not agree with woman playing football, banning them
:01:17. > :01:20.from playing on the grounds. But attitudes of changed in the decades
:01:21. > :01:27.since England made their international bow. And, in the 0
:01:28. > :01:30.years since the FA took control of the national side they have reached
:01:31. > :01:34.the World Cup finals three times. They have gone out at the
:01:35. > :01:41.quarterfinal stage three times. They started this qualifying campaign in
:01:42. > :01:46.fine style. Their temporary manager in charge for two more games.
:01:47. > :01:48.Whenever you play one of the home nations their rape going to be rough
:01:49. > :01:56.and tumble games. Wales have qualified for a major tournament.
:01:57. > :02:02.But a winning start has given the underdogs cause for optimism. We
:02:03. > :02:08.want to win this. It will be absolutely huge. When these
:02:09. > :02:13.neighbours kick off in a few moments time history will count for nothing.
:02:14. > :02:16.This is the situation in group six. England topped the group after those
:02:17. > :02:20.emphatic victories over Belarus and Turkey. Belarus got off the mark
:02:21. > :02:23.with their first win of the campaign. That came against
:02:24. > :02:28.Montenegro earlier today. At half-time tonight we will bring you
:02:29. > :02:33.highlights of the qualifier between Scotland and Northern Ireland. Perry
:02:34. > :02:38.White and Sue Smith with me as well as Jayne Ludlow, the former Wales
:02:39. > :02:43.captain and Wales legend. All of the action from the first half here at
:02:44. > :02:46.Millwall. Let's get straight over to the commentators, Lucy Ward and
:02:47. > :02:55.Jonathan Pearce. This is going to be tougher than the
:02:56. > :03:02.England will is against Belarus and Turkey. Siobhan Chamberlain is in
:03:03. > :03:10.the stands. Stephanie Houghton becomes the third centre partner to
:03:11. > :03:14.partner Casey Stoney. Unbeaten in 20 World Cup qualifiers and have not
:03:15. > :03:17.conceded a goal in 11 World Cup qualifiers and the six wins out of
:03:18. > :03:25.six against Wales, who also make a couple of changes. Loren Dykes
:03:26. > :03:31.returns after five months on the treatment table. Nicola Cousins
:03:32. > :03:34.strops to the bench. Angharad James makes her first competitive
:03:35. > :03:40.international start in 16 months with Sophie Ingle dropping deeper
:03:41. > :03:44.and teenager Lauren Price going to the bench. It will be a glint in the
:03:45. > :03:50.white shirts and navy blue who will kick us off and under way, kicking
:03:51. > :04:02.Steph Houghton partnering Casey cold blow
:04:03. > :04:07.Steph Houghton partnering Casey Stoney. I just wonder what Lucy Ward
:04:08. > :04:12.thinks about three Centre partners for the captain already in this
:04:13. > :04:15.qualifying campaign. It is interesting. Casey Stoney played
:04:16. > :04:20.with Sophie Bradley add link in the last few seasons. It is interesting
:04:21. > :04:26.this change, to step on. She is a capable centre half. She plays there
:04:27. > :04:29.for Arsenal. She is capable of playing with different players, but
:04:30. > :04:40.it is quite an interesting choice, Thiney. -- for me. Don't forget you
:04:41. > :04:45.can make predictions for this match on BBC Two at and Facebook pages. --
:04:46. > :04:56.the BBC Twitter and Facebook pages. Wales have never been higher than 37
:04:57. > :05:01.in the fever rankings. Just recently, they launched a new plan
:05:02. > :05:07.for women's football aiming to double the number of players to
:05:08. > :05:12.20,000, by 2022. Here is their best-known player, Jess Fisher, who
:05:13. > :05:18.spends most of her time travelling these days. She spends half the year
:05:19. > :05:24.in Australia and the other half in the United States of America. The
:05:25. > :05:29.free kick flashes on through, but with players like Jess in the side
:05:30. > :05:33.and Natasha Harding and Helen Ward, their record goal-scorer, it will be
:05:34. > :05:40.tough but England. Not an easy game thinking. Wales have got players
:05:41. > :05:43.playing in the WSL. Wales should be confident. Their ranking is lower
:05:44. > :05:51.than England and they are considered the underdog, but FAQ bit tight in
:05:52. > :06:12.the first 15-20 minutes they could be in with a chance.
:06:13. > :06:35.And Wales might feel aggrieved at that. I thought they had case for
:06:36. > :06:36.the challenge on Natasha Harding. Sandwiched between two England
:06:37. > :06:53.defenders. The Bristol Academy player. They
:06:54. > :07:04.were pipped by Liverpool for the league title and they lost in the FA
:07:05. > :07:11.Cup final to Arsenal. The number eight was in that Arsenal side that
:07:12. > :07:24.day. No names on the back of the Welsh shirts. She is still known
:07:25. > :07:27.officially in FIFA terms as Helen Lander. She is Helen Ward, since
:07:28. > :07:40.getting married. Aluko is in such brilliant form for
:07:41. > :07:57.England. Philip James. That much was heavy.
:07:58. > :08:33.-- Philippa James. We know from what we have seen so
:08:34. > :08:39.far this season that Jordan Nobbs will get from box to box. She motors
:08:40. > :08:45.around the pitch so effectively She plays at such high intensity, but
:08:46. > :08:47.she plays with her brain, as well. She's up against Fishlock from
:08:48. > :08:59.Wales, and those two will battle it out.
:09:00. > :09:07.Boomed away by Nicola Davies, the Welsh goalkeeper. Wales have started
:09:08. > :09:11.off in that first few minutes very well. When they have had the chance
:09:12. > :09:20.to pressurise the back for of England they have done so in
:09:21. > :09:22.numbers, and that always helps. Five goals for Aluko in her last seven
:09:23. > :09:50.internationals for England. Just dropping back into space for
:09:51. > :10:03.Alex Scott, who loves to get forward.
:10:04. > :10:11.The goalkeeper takes the return She finished the season so strongly with
:10:12. > :10:22.Arsenal in the Continental cup final against Lincoln.
:10:23. > :10:30.As much as England played an expansive passing game, they will
:10:31. > :10:34.look to make it as compact as possible, and their shape will
:10:35. > :10:40.mirror this. Brent Hills will want this team to move the ball out wide
:10:41. > :10:47.and get Wales moving out, out the position, but it is a good start for
:10:48. > :10:54.Wales, so far. He will want good movement from his players.
:10:55. > :11:04.There is Lucy Bronze. Just tucked away by Kylie Davies, a couple of
:11:05. > :11:15.Chelsea players. They had a rotten into season,
:11:16. > :11:18.Chelsea. Ten defeat in 12 games I wonder what effect that would have
:11:19. > :11:26.with so many players out there knowing each other. Into the
:11:27. > :11:35.middle, and that was a bright start by England. As they find their feet,
:11:36. > :11:38.look at how Ellen White runs into the spaces between the full-back and
:11:39. > :11:45.the centre half. It was a good ball. It needed someone to throw
:11:46. > :11:53.themselves at it. Toni Duggan was just not off-balance by the
:11:54. > :12:02.defender. Ellen White, the Arsenal player, works so hard for club and
:12:03. > :12:11.country. She scored an absolute belter against Turkey with a
:12:12. > :12:26.Angharad James, still on White. Carney is in the middle. Just
:12:27. > :12:29.cleared away by Kylie Davies. Alex Scott sees the defender coming
:12:30. > :12:36.towards and resin through her legs. Not the best ball in. Some danger
:12:37. > :12:45.down this right-hand side. Calmly, with the corner. That was a strong
:12:46. > :12:54.one in. Aluko, pressurising the goalkeeper, who has spilled it. Well
:12:55. > :12:57.away by Natasha Harding, in the end. Switching away to the left-hand side
:12:58. > :13:10.note, Aluko. She was on the right, she was up against her clubmate
:13:11. > :13:13.Helen Bleazard hard. Wales will be giving condo this from playing his
:13:14. > :13:19.players week in, week out. England will be more wary approaching this
:13:20. > :13:23.game because they know that Wales will give them a test. They will
:13:24. > :13:26.play a similar sort of game and work very hard. England will not get
:13:27. > :13:39.anything easy. Casey Stoney has not yet committed
:13:40. > :13:51.to the new setup in Nottingham, Notts County replacing link on in
:13:52. > :13:58.the Women's Super League next year. -- Lincoln. At club level she will
:13:59. > :14:04.want to win things, so she will really have to think about it. She
:14:05. > :14:16.will have offers. England have a free kick. Given away by the
:14:17. > :14:21.Coventry player. She went out to Finland in a move organised by the
:14:22. > :14:37.Finnish born Welsh coach. Steph Houghton will have a go, here.
:14:38. > :14:48.The left back in the last Olympics. And she forces the save. Nicky
:14:49. > :15:09.Davies making sure that she covered that.
:15:10. > :15:24.Steph Houghton is very capable of scoring from that distance. They
:15:25. > :15:26.measured effort. Had it covered A brilliant Olympics, but a
:15:27. > :15:40.disappointing European Championships in the summer.
:15:41. > :15:54.Loren Dykes, she hasn't played since May. Passing the ball well.
:15:55. > :16:05.Toni Duggan, when crosses are played into the box, she gets on the end of
:16:06. > :16:11.it. A good header. She was surrounded by a
:16:12. > :16:12.it. A good header. She was attitude towards meeting the ball
:16:13. > :16:28.and crosses. There is the Welsh coach, involved
:16:29. > :16:34.in all levels of Welsh food hall, involved with the under 19. -- all
:16:35. > :16:54.levels of Welsh football. Wales will not be liking that, one
:16:55. > :16:58.of their main players. She landed heavily on her ankle, I would
:16:59. > :17:11.think. I think she might have jarred her knee. It is the ankle. Tasha
:17:12. > :17:44.Harding, one of Bristol Academy s main players.
:17:45. > :17:55.Slow progress on football management in Wales, they will want more women
:17:56. > :18:59.on the board. Lots of women players coming through.
:19:00. > :19:06.We have already seen in the opening 15 minutes, more tackles in this
:19:07. > :19:22.game than we saw on the two internationals between Belarus and
:19:23. > :19:26.Turkey put together. A dent, -- England, a hard night, Natasha
:19:27. > :19:56.Harding is still off the field of play.
:19:57. > :20:13.The Nigerian born England international will take this. She
:20:14. > :20:46.might have put Jordan Nobbs off there a little bit.
:20:47. > :20:54.Lots of these England players such experience.
:20:55. > :21:05.Fara Williams, one of the most experienced. In possession. Blocked
:21:06. > :21:06.very well by Casey Stoney. Casey Stoney looking to qualify for her
:21:07. > :22:02.seventh major final. Already seeing a fair amount of
:22:03. > :22:06.rotation from the England forwards. Toni Duggan through the middle,
:22:07. > :22:13.coming out to the right-hand side. Aluko has gone to the left just
:22:14. > :22:18.ahead of Lucy Bronze. A great season she has had. So too did Sophie
:22:19. > :22:36.Ingle. A lovely ball forward. Just couldn't
:22:37. > :22:45.get away from Steph Houghton. One more strident she would have been
:22:46. > :22:54.in. -- one more stride and she would have been him.
:22:55. > :23:07.Doesn't really get there. The flag is raised. Maybe a handball. That
:23:08. > :23:22.was a great ball. Beaten the defender. Did she avoids the
:23:23. > :23:36.handball? It did hit her on the arm with a this is what Wales
:23:37. > :23:40.Helen Ward, some family support here, she is a north London girl
:23:41. > :23:53.from Brent. A little group of the Welsh players
:23:54. > :24:01.do come from London. Here comes Toni Duggan, dropping into space. Just
:24:02. > :24:16.behind Aluko, and that should be the guilty -- goalkeeper's.
:24:17. > :24:20.behind Aluko, and that should be the Lucy Bronze. Toni Duggan could not
:24:21. > :24:31.get on it. In the end, Aluko slipped. A great passage of play.
:24:32. > :24:36.Nicola Davies, she was posted at 20 man by RAR for little while back. --
:24:37. > :24:58.posted out to Oman buy the RAAF Ancient's movement needs to be a
:24:59. > :25:09.little bit better upfront to create space. This is the first competitive
:25:10. > :25:17.fixture between these two countries. The Welsh side used to be
:25:18. > :25:19.under the banner of the Welsh FA. Their last meeting was back in
:25:20. > :25:31.August 1985. They have a chance with this corner
:25:32. > :25:37.kick to take the lead and Aluko will take it.
:25:38. > :25:56.This chart is by Williams, and it is deflected away. -- the shaft.
:25:57. > :26:07.Eventually, it landed with Fara Williams and she blocked it. Good
:26:08. > :26:15.corner. It was almost as if she was playing for a corner. Luke go with
:26:16. > :26:22.it again. Quite challenging. Here is a Scot. Aluko has stayed wide.
:26:23. > :26:38.Aluko, a good tackle net. The England players go to the
:26:39. > :26:44.referee and they are claiming a penalty. The challenge on Alan White
:26:45. > :26:57.was by Kylie Davies or Sophie Ingle. It is good play. -- the challenge on
:26:58. > :27:04.Ellen White. You can see Ellen White there are, Kylie Davies is holding
:27:05. > :27:10.her. The referee is in a good position to CS that is a penalty. It
:27:11. > :27:21.is not often bad ones like that are given. You could see she was in some
:27:22. > :27:30.discomfort, because she took no part defensively, and that is not liked
:27:31. > :27:34.Jessica Fishlock. She's definitely the main player in this team, I
:27:35. > :27:48.would like to see her further forward. She is really holding her
:27:49. > :28:03.arm there. She seems to be in a lot of pain. 71 caps, Michelle Green on
:28:04. > :28:08.the team has more. Really the most accomplished of these Welsh
:28:09. > :28:18.international players. It would be a real blow for Wales that she cannot
:28:19. > :28:42.come back on. And the shaft from Fara Williams drops over the line.
:28:43. > :28:56.-- shot. this is where she picked up the injury here. I think the ball
:28:57. > :29:05.hit it. Don't admit that. Really heavy strapping.
:29:06. > :29:17.England's toughest test so far in qualifying for Canada 2015. Playing
:29:18. > :29:30.very well so far. A high, hanging cross into the box. A good ball by
:29:31. > :29:36.Steph Houghton. Was in the air quite a while. Starting to frustrate
:29:37. > :29:41.England a little bit. The longer it stayed at 0-0, the more chance that
:29:42. > :29:56.Wales would get something from the game. But they have started in good
:29:57. > :29:58.shape with good intensity. Devon White is a creator of goals, as well
:29:59. > :30:39.as a scorer of goals -- Ellen White. That gets away from Scott. No one up
:30:40. > :30:43.in support. She will have to go all the way herself. That was a
:30:44. > :30:51.courageous run, from the 22-year-old. Wiltshire is known to
:30:52. > :30:56.be a tricky, technical player. But when she takes on players like that,
:30:57. > :31:13.she can produce something from it. It is brilliant coming to a game
:31:14. > :31:16.were the underdogs are so confident. She has gone down again, holding
:31:17. > :31:21.that hand. She is in real discomfort.
:31:22. > :31:28.She's holding heart arm as she tracks back into the centre circle.
:31:29. > :31:40.She is so important for Wales. Scott, with the little dummy. She
:31:41. > :31:53.sold Belize arbour. -- Bleazard there.
:31:54. > :32:04.Lucy Bronze, the captain of Liverpool. She turns 22 on Monday.
:32:05. > :32:07.She is captain of the side when there are players much more
:32:08. > :32:14.experienced than her around. A very good Liverpool set up. They are a
:32:15. > :32:31.real force to be reckoned with now. Bringing Jordan Nobbs into play and
:32:32. > :32:32.that is a lovely pass. England playing some good football at the
:32:33. > :32:43.moment. Carney in to the box. And straight
:32:44. > :33:24.into the arms of Nicola Davies. Carney from range, dipping! That is
:33:25. > :33:27.a great effort from Karen Carney. She noticed the goalkeeper with a
:33:28. > :33:45.bit off of the line, and she just tipped it over. The former Menai
:33:46. > :34:01.Bridge Tigers player. She played with the boys up to the age of 1.
:34:02. > :34:10.From a different angle. It just opened up in front of Karen Carney.
:34:11. > :34:14.England have reached the quarterfinals of the last two World
:34:15. > :34:31.Cup finals. Wales have never been in a major finals.
:34:32. > :34:43.White working hard. England have not lost any of their last 16 home
:34:44. > :34:48.matches, unbeaten in 36 World Cup and European qualifiers.
:34:49. > :34:58.The last lost to France in the 003 play-off. England have kept 19
:34:59. > :35:06.consecutive clean sheets in home qualifiers.
:35:07. > :35:23.Wales had that one moment of danger when Ward got in at the back. Wales
:35:24. > :35:29.have defended well. They are set up to play that way to frustrate
:35:30. > :35:33.England a little bit, and they have done well. You have got to give
:35:34. > :35:36.credit to Wales. England have just kept knocking at the door, with the
:35:37. > :35:58.movement on that front three. The thing is, that the pace up front
:35:59. > :36:00.for England is what Wales will be most scared and it is not really the
:36:01. > :36:36.thing that England have used, yet. Brent Hills on the left-hand side
:36:37. > :36:49.was at Millwall as a coach at the Old Den. Those facilities must love
:36:50. > :37:01.by Millwall fans -- much loved. It was a mean old ways to go. -- place
:37:02. > :37:12.to go. Wiltshire, can she keep it in? Free kick.
:37:13. > :37:18.Wales performance in the 2013 European cup qualifiers much better
:37:19. > :37:38.than the previous campaign, ten points from eight games.
:37:39. > :37:46.Lovely first time ball. Ellen White has options in the middle. She tried
:37:47. > :37:55.to play it back to Karen Carney he was making a late one in there. --
:37:56. > :38:01.late run. Lovely first time ball by Alex Scott. All the other time she
:38:02. > :38:04.has brought it down, she can see that one, and it is something a
:38:05. > :38:11.little different. It brought Wales out a little bit, but the ball in
:38:12. > :38:18.was not as good as the initial pass. Wales are what more quick to close
:38:19. > :38:47.down on Jordan Nobbs when she advances.
:38:48. > :38:55.You get the feeling that if England open the scoring, Wales will not
:38:56. > :38:59.have enough power to come back at them. Wales have got to get the
:39:00. > :39:05.opening goal if they want to have any chance of pulling off a victory.
:39:06. > :39:10.When Wales push for what they are going to be vulnerable to the pace
:39:11. > :39:23.that England have got in the team. -- push forward.
:39:24. > :39:42.Lucy Bronze is aware of that. Gets it away. Back to Lucy Bronze.
:39:43. > :39:58.The seven group winners will go to the finals and the four best runners
:39:59. > :40:10.up will face play-off matches. They will have competitive hopes of
:40:11. > :40:19.finishing. England are hot favourites to win the group.
:40:20. > :40:24.Belarus, Montenegro and Turkey the other teams involved. Montenegro
:40:25. > :40:31.must be pretty awful, because Belarus were not very good.
:40:32. > :40:33.must be pretty awful, because were not the best. I hear that they
:40:34. > :40:42.were little bit better against Wales.
:40:43. > :40:53.Ward chasing. Had that little bit of extra power of the push off, to get
:40:54. > :40:59.there. Jess Fishlock, she was in such pain from that arm injury. She
:41:00. > :41:04.could not put her hand down to steady herself when she had a little
:41:05. > :41:08.bit of a slip. She will keep playing on. She would have to be dragged
:41:09. > :41:12.off, I suspect. She will not go voluntarily.
:41:13. > :41:26.Aluko steadies herself, looking for Karen Duggan.
:41:27. > :41:45.Scott with the backheel. Jess Fishlock was well positioned.
:41:46. > :41:54.Good play by Alex Scott. She put in Aluko. Attacking the ball well, but
:41:55. > :42:10.there was somebody in the way. My this stage in the last game she
:42:11. > :42:51.had a hat-trick, Toni Duggan. some frustration showing. That was
:42:52. > :43:00.not a good ball at all. For the moment, Wales have frustrated
:43:01. > :43:02.England. The Welsh manager put out his team to do a job, and they are
:43:03. > :43:24.doing it well. She did simply not have the strength
:43:25. > :44:01.to get away from Toni Duggan, there. A good angle on that pass. Sensibly
:44:02. > :44:29.done. A good challenge by Fishlock, and as
:44:30. > :44:38.she goes down, she is holding her hand again. Clever play on the right
:44:39. > :44:48.for England. Scott involved in a lot of it. Jordan Nobbs took the place
:44:49. > :44:56.of Aluko in the challenge. Very hard first for England.
:44:57. > :45:09.Away by Loren Dykes 's and over to Scott. Looking for a 13th England
:45:10. > :45:32.goal. That would be worth the effort.
:45:33. > :45:42.Karen Bardsley, she missed the two games last month through injury and
:45:43. > :45:50.illness. She is another one who is not yet committed to playing in the
:45:51. > :45:54.Notts County setup. Sophie Bradley and Jess Clarke, they are on the
:45:55. > :45:59.bench, they will be playing for the new Notts County side in the super
:46:00. > :46:08.league next summer. It has two divisions. It has been a success. If
:46:09. > :46:13.you look at the development of women's football in the last 20
:46:14. > :46:18.years of this 150 FA years, it has been startling. Yes, it is going to
:46:19. > :46:23.the next level, they have brought in foreign players which has made it at
:46:24. > :46:29.that standard and it is not just Arsenal winning everything. Having a
:46:30. > :46:38.more even league has helped the progress of women's book all. -
:46:39. > :46:42.more even league has helped the women's football. They are trying to
:46:43. > :46:48.recruit more young girls to football.
:46:49. > :47:26.I think when people will have a go at the FA, they forget about what
:47:27. > :47:32.work is done at grassroots level. The amount of courses that places
:47:33. > :47:39.like Sussex County FA layer on his phenomenal. A great effort! A really
:47:40. > :47:52.good effort! A backward header! Instinct of Loch. And Wales survive.
:47:53. > :48:00.-- and instinctive block. Someone is trying to get themselves in front at
:48:01. > :48:14.half-time. Inspiring. White is underneath it. An incredible header.
:48:15. > :48:21.So athletic. She manages to do, and it was a good save. An incredible
:48:22. > :49:12.header and a really, really good save. England win a corner. It has
:49:13. > :49:19.been a chequered 150 years for the FA. One of the great soap opera is,
:49:20. > :49:26.the football Association. Good on them. Carnie with the corner. Pumped
:49:27. > :49:36.away by Sophie Ingle. Into stoppage time now. A chance to
:49:37. > :50:10.pin it down by Sophie Ingle. Wales are determined to see it
:50:11. > :50:17.through to half-time. A bit of a naive little push by Steph Houghton
:50:18. > :50:21.and then a free kick. That is exactly what Helen Ward wanted in
:50:22. > :50:26.that situation. Up there trying to take the pressure off Wales in this
:50:27. > :50:31.first half, 0-0, much as England wants to get one up. This should be
:50:32. > :50:56.the last attack of this half. Just Fishlock has been incredibly
:50:57. > :51:01.brave. Nicola Davies has pulled off the save of the half from Carnie.
:51:02. > :51:07.England had the majority of possession and chances, but this is
:51:08. > :51:11.a hard night for them at half-time, 0-0.
:51:12. > :51:18.A very different first that England experienced with Belarus in Turkey.
:51:19. > :51:26.What have we made of the England performance? We have seen a lot of
:51:27. > :51:30.the ball. We need to be much sharper in possession and more accurate in
:51:31. > :51:35.passing. Carnie needs to get on the ball higher up, she has had a chance
:51:36. > :51:43.with her head, but not on the floor when she creates open chances. What
:51:44. > :51:46.have you made of Wales, Jane? Their defence organisation has been superb
:51:47. > :51:54.and hopefully they can continue that in the next 45 minutes. Is that as
:51:55. > :51:59.tight as you thought it would be? I thought it would be tight. England
:52:00. > :52:02.know what Wales are about, that is what they did tonight. They have
:52:03. > :52:09.made it difficult for England to play. We will be looking out all of
:52:10. > :52:34.the key incidents and the highlights of
:52:35. > :52:37.Hi, I'm Claudia-Liza. Back to football after a news update in 60

:53:48. > :54:08.Welcome back to Millwall and it is -0. Jayne Ludlow is with this
:54:09. > :54:11.evening. You told us about your opinions on the performance by Wales
:54:12. > :54:21.tonight, you notice that England have been targeting them. The
:54:22. > :54:27.full-back position is something that is totally new to Helen Bleazard, it
:54:28. > :54:30.is a new position for her, she is still learning, they have been
:54:31. > :54:37.targeting that, she has done well for parts of the first half, but at
:54:38. > :54:41.times she dives in, and you can see Alex Scott, it was great skill
:54:42. > :54:42.times she dives in, and you can see legs, but Helen has too learned
:54:43. > :54:46.quickly. The second half legs, but Helen has too learned
:54:47. > :54:55.difficult, but to fully she can battle and do the best she can for
:54:56. > :55:05.us. And you think that Wales are defending too deeply? Yes, they have
:55:06. > :55:10.dealt deep. Alex Scott getting some of the crosses in. They need to put
:55:11. > :55:16.a stop to England's pace up front which can be scary, but we have
:55:17. > :55:18.added a few good chances, but nothing is quite falling to an
:55:19. > :55:24.England player, and with no real quality in that final penalty box.
:55:25. > :55:30.Wales continue to give the ball away, how they defending to do? What
:55:31. > :55:33.should they be doing? They are not getting under pressure because they
:55:34. > :55:38.are too deep, they're not getting their full-backs high up enough
:55:39. > :55:41.England are doing well quickly. It is hard. I think that Sarah
:55:42. > :55:47.Wiltshire has done well picking up a few scraps, to try to give the ball
:55:48. > :55:51.up, but it will be hard. They believe in their own ability for
:55:52. > :55:58.sure, and in this tight area under pressure, you need to lift it high
:55:59. > :56:02.and release the pressure. With regard to defending deep, it is a
:56:03. > :56:07.tactic we have to do, and as long as the centre forwards do not change
:56:08. > :56:10.things too high, then we can do well in the second half by restricting
:56:11. > :56:16.England to the centre of the path and by keeping the distances tight,
:56:17. > :56:24.we will frustrate England. Some great saves by Nicola Davies, you're
:56:25. > :56:28.sort of these, but not very pleased! She did fantastically for us all of
:56:29. > :56:33.this season, and here, she is very commanding and she knows where to,
:56:34. > :56:36.and when not come. A lot of the chances of arrangement have come
:56:37. > :56:41.from distance, but here, it is lovely day for Alex Scott and Aluko,
:56:42. > :56:47.and a lovely header lovely day for Alex Scott and Aluko,
:56:48. > :56:52.Carney. Point blank range, difficult saves, but she is there and she s
:56:53. > :56:57.good at that, so she has had a very good first half. England will be
:56:58. > :57:04.well aware of the threat with Helen Ward, she proved at times that she
:57:05. > :57:10.can be a threat tonight. Helen is a great outlet for us. We need to use
:57:11. > :57:13.her more and look for her in the channels to try to utilise her
:57:14. > :57:19.pace. She was unfortunate once or twice that a touch let down. We need
:57:20. > :57:25.to use as much as possible in the second half. The two centre hearts,
:57:26. > :57:30.they have not really been picking her up and Steph Houghton has the
:57:31. > :57:35.pace to come back. She could have done better with a better first
:57:36. > :57:41.touch. She has been caught in the middle of the two centre halves
:57:42. > :57:44.Thank you for now, and other all British clash this evening in
:57:45. > :57:49.Motherwell were Scotland took on Northern Ireland and here is the
:57:50. > :58:01.best of the action. -- were Scotland took gone.
:58:02. > :58:12.The chase is on for Lisa Evans. Here comes Jane Ross with the first
:58:13. > :58:18.chance of the game. Scotland have made a bright, punchy start. Taken
:58:19. > :58:27.in by Emma Higgins. A first scare for Northern Ireland.
:58:28. > :58:54.A mis-kick by Emma Higgins. And now the chance for a
:58:55. > :58:58.starred by Scotland. -- what a start. Jane Ross escapes the
:58:59. > :59:18.challenge and finishes with style. Jane Ross with a header. Ross looks
:59:19. > :59:33.in the mood so far tonight. Fran Brown. And Mackin with the
:59:34. > :59:58.change of pace and the cross. Mackin takes the corner. Just wide
:59:59. > :00:00.of the mark there for Northern Ireland. That is their best moment
:00:01. > :00:33.so far, the header from McFadden. Frankie Brown to Leanne Ross. Now
:00:34. > :00:36.Jane Ross, and Mackin. Good move from the Scots. Just wide from
:00:37. > :01:00.Suzanne Lappin. Nichol, does she hold the key?
:01:01. > :01:09.Pushed away by the goalkeeper. Had to backtrack to beat the ball away.
:01:10. > :01:14.That cross caused havoc in the box, before being pushed away to safety.
:01:15. > :01:23.And Jane Ross is onside. In the middle, Mulvey and Evans. Mulvey has
:01:24. > :01:38.gone down. In, by Kim Little. And there is the
:01:39. > :01:46.second goal for Scotland. That may well be the clincher. She got four
:01:47. > :01:56.against the Northern Irish a year ago. Beattie saw the gap and found
:01:57. > :02:10.the finish. That result keeps Scott went top of
:02:11. > :02:14.group four. Sweden also have a 00% record after their narrow victory
:02:15. > :02:21.over Bosnia. A surprising result, this one. The only goal from the
:02:22. > :02:28.penalty spot. Northern Ireland are in action on Wednesday night. They
:02:29. > :02:34.face Bosnia in Lurgan. And the following night Scotland are in
:02:35. > :02:38.Poland. There was another big all British class coming up in the
:02:39. > :02:41.women's game next month. Arsenal have been drawn against the Scottish
:02:42. > :02:45.title holders Glasgow city in the Champions League. It is a tie that
:02:46. > :02:54.players on both sides are looking forward to. I've seen what it means
:02:55. > :02:59.to the Young ones, and watch. What they are doing as a club is
:03:00. > :03:03.brilliant. And so, I would love nothing more than to help them get
:03:04. > :03:06.through to the quarterfinals. And I feel that that is definitely
:03:07. > :03:13.something that the club definitely deserves. It has been quoted as the
:03:14. > :03:18.Battle of Britain which is quite cool. I am looking forward to it. It
:03:19. > :03:23.will be a difficult game. But we're pleased to be in the round of 1 .
:03:24. > :03:27.So, we're looking forward to it playing at home first, hopefully we
:03:28. > :03:35.can put in a good performance there, and then go away to Glasgow. Really
:03:36. > :03:39.looking forward to it. The first leg at Arsenal is on Sunday night
:03:40. > :03:44.November, with the return match in Glasgow the following Wednesday
:03:45. > :03:49.night. Birmingham have made it through to the last 16 and face a
:03:50. > :03:59.trip to Russia. The Battle of Britain. That is work -- what we are
:04:00. > :04:03.calling it. It is a lot closer, better travelling than going to
:04:04. > :04:17.Russia. It will be a very tight game and it will be contested very
:04:18. > :04:24.feistily. Glasgow will be desperate to try and push on further having
:04:25. > :04:29.got this far and the two men. You mentioned Jess Fisher. She is a
:04:30. > :04:32.massive threat for them. It is just great for British football to have
:04:33. > :04:35.that sort of tie. I would personally love to go and watch that game. It
:04:36. > :04:44.will definitely be quite feisty if you like. That come. Maybe some
:04:45. > :04:47.dinner as well. Jess Fishlock who you would imagine would be playing
:04:48. > :04:54.on loan at the Glasgow was injured tonight. Looked like she was in a
:04:55. > :04:58.lot of pain. It looked like it could be her wrist or her thumb. I am
:04:59. > :05:03.hoping that she comes out in the second half. She would be a huge
:05:04. > :05:09.loss to Wales. It is quite innocuous. I am not sure whether she
:05:10. > :05:13.did it by hitting one of her own players or the English players. She
:05:14. > :05:19.will not want to stay in the changing room right now. She's back
:05:20. > :05:29.out, you will be delighted to see. Back to the commentators, Lucy Ward
:05:30. > :05:37.and Jonathan Pierce. 0-0 so far Let's rejoin the game. Jess Fishlock
:05:38. > :05:44.is there, on the left of your picture. But there will be no
:05:45. > :05:48.Natasha Harding in the second half for Wales. They have made a
:05:49. > :05:53.substitution. They have brought on Carys Hawkins. The 25-year-old who
:05:54. > :06:02.plays in Sweden. It is her seventh cap. She has come on. She has come
:06:03. > :06:07.on, on the right-hand side down the touchline there, now. You can play
:06:08. > :06:12.full-back, she can play on the right-hand side. Place in Europe in
:06:13. > :06:20.the summer, Australia in the winter, for Perth Glory. That is the change
:06:21. > :06:26.that Wales have made. Harding got an injury early on in that first half.
:06:27. > :06:28.She did struggle with that ankle, I think. And they have decided to make
:06:29. > :06:59.that change. If you have a
:07:00. > :07:02.she is holding that left arm, there was a heavy bandage on there than
:07:03. > :07:11.there was in the first half, when it was just heavily strapped. I wonder
:07:12. > :07:22.what they suspect it is? Aluko, and Ellen White, on the half term. -
:07:23. > :07:26.half turn. A few times England have got behind Wales, through Aluko
:07:27. > :07:32.They just need to take a few more chances on the edge of the box, to
:07:33. > :07:36.make Wales have to defend a little bit differently. That is how we re
:07:37. > :07:38.going to get the goals. At the moment Wales are dealing with
:07:39. > :07:43.everything that England are throwing at them.
:07:44. > :07:49.Jordan Nobbs did not get forward as much in the first half as she has
:07:50. > :08:10.done in the other games this season. Good ball, to Karen Carney. And
:08:11. > :08:17.collected by Kylie Davies, who has played well at the back for Wales.
:08:18. > :08:30.Can Aluko get the crossing? Well check back. Jordan Nobbs, and 1 0,
:08:31. > :08:34.England. 2.5 minutes into the second half, and England break the
:08:35. > :08:40.deadlock. Jordan Nobbs with the second international goal. That is a
:08:41. > :08:45.fantastic goal, the build-up, the passing exchange, all one patch to
:08:46. > :08:48.the finish, excellent finish, excellent build-up. Like I said
:08:49. > :08:54.before, that little bit excellent build-up. Like I said
:08:55. > :08:59.playing one touch, down that right-hand side. Just shows you what
:09:00. > :09:09.Jordan Nobbs is capable of, spinning the goal over the goalkeeper's it.
:09:10. > :09:16.That is a great goal for England. It was a lovely move. And England lead
:09:17. > :09:18.by a golden ale. Right at the start of the second half -- England lead
:09:19. > :09:27.by a goal to nil. Ellen White charging down on the
:09:28. > :09:44.goalkeeper there. That is against Ellen White. The
:09:45. > :09:50.assistant referee has given that. She giving it for handball?
:09:51. > :10:02.It looks like that is what she was gesturing. Her hand was waved above
:10:03. > :10:10.shoulder height. She has given it for handball. She needs to get her
:10:11. > :10:21.hands out of England have a midweek international
:10:22. > :10:54.against Turkey, flying out tomorrow. Pushed away by Karen Bardsley. I
:10:55. > :11:01.think that there is the first thing she has had to do tonight. This
:11:02. > :11:05.cross, you just knew that Helen Ward was going to get it. She could not
:11:06. > :11:09.take the risk of just letting it go out.
:11:10. > :11:23.The first corner kick of the night for Wales.
:11:24. > :11:32.That is decent corner kick routine. They will have been working on the
:11:33. > :11:36.week running up to this game on set pieces. They bid probably think they
:11:37. > :11:41.would not have that many chances against England.
:11:42. > :12:08.Wales to take the corner kick on the right-hand side.
:12:09. > :12:13.This time, it is away by Steph Houghton. England were under real
:12:14. > :12:51.pressure there. It is a confident Welsh group at the
:12:52. > :13:13.middle diligently. It is a confident Welsh group at the
:13:14. > :13:19.new Den for Wales. These players play week in, week out, in the WSL.
:13:20. > :13:24.They just needed to know what the game plan was. Whilst it was 0-
:13:25. > :13:28.they were always in with a chance. They will have to commit a few
:13:29. > :13:30.clever as former, and that might open things up a bit at the back for
:13:31. > :13:46.England to exploit. This is Karen Carney, just slipped
:13:47. > :13:52.away from Ellen White and too far ahead of Alex Scott. The England
:13:53. > :13:58.players making a similar sort of run. The full from Karen Carney and
:13:59. > :14:11.Ellen White could not get attached to it. And just in front of Alex
:14:12. > :14:19.Scott. Two in the group, away games, to Montenegro and Turkey.
:14:20. > :14:51.Jess Fishlock is in real pain and is heavily strapped.
:14:52. > :15:29.Sarah Wiltshire, flitting in and out of the game. A talented player.
:15:30. > :15:35.One thing that Brent Hills has worked on is the quality of the
:15:36. > :15:49.passing, high-intensity game, good support and move and. He knew that
:15:50. > :15:53.this would be a feisty encounter. Wales are still threatening the
:15:54. > :16:12.defensive third of England. Sarah Wiltshire is in good form
:16:13. > :16:13.tonight, she can release threaten England tonight. -- really
:16:14. > :16:41.threatened. Making the challenge. Oh, that will
:16:42. > :16:49.really hurt. She hasn't got a hand to hold all of her injuries with! A
:16:50. > :16:56.tough challenge by Karen Carney She stood on her foot. She will have
:16:57. > :16:59.known the talent was coming as well by the way she placed her body in
:17:00. > :17:13.Toni Duggan! She took that so well front. She knew she was
:17:14. > :17:22.Toni Duggan! She took that so well axed back she has doubled the lead
:17:23. > :17:29.for England. The platform is therefore a third England win him
:17:30. > :17:33.three. That was a searching ball bags had to be dealt with. Great
:17:34. > :17:45.technique from Toni Duggan. Right in the corner. Didn't think the ball
:17:46. > :17:53.was going to come down for her. She did really well there. Wales are
:17:54. > :17:55.making an inevitable change. 2- down. They have to protect Jess
:17:56. > :18:38.Fishlock. That is such a shame for Jess
:18:39. > :18:42.Fishlock, Wales's best player. -0, they thought they still had a
:18:43. > :19:29.chance, but they have to protect her, she was really struggling.
:19:30. > :19:36.It has been a good start to the second half for England. They knew
:19:37. > :19:40.it was going to be tough. England with more quality in the second half
:19:41. > :19:57.has produced those two goals. Definitely deserved.
:19:58. > :20:11.Wales heading for the target. Really needed to. Helen Ward knows.
:20:12. > :20:55.England on top, the stronger team physically.
:20:56. > :20:59.England are going to make a change. I can see Jill Scott waiting to come
:21:00. > :21:08.That was a fine save. Williams, on.
:21:09. > :21:12.That was a fine save. Williams, deflected out. England now well on
:21:13. > :21:36.top. I think Aluko got in the way of
:21:37. > :21:38.Steph Houghton they're a little bit. A fine save though. Playing well,
:21:39. > :22:10.Nicola Davies in the Welsh goal Here comes England's substitution,
:22:11. > :22:18.and Aluko is going off. Flying out to Turkey tomorrow to play later in
:22:19. > :22:22.the week. That is what they have in mind. I imagine Jill Scott will come
:22:23. > :22:34.onto the middle and they will move Karen Carney. Jordan Nobbs will move
:22:35. > :22:36.also. 73 caps for Jill Scott, the Everton player. A dangerous ball
:22:37. > :23:13.into the box. You could hear Brent Hills shouting,
:23:14. > :23:45.push on, push on, push on. England are making their passes
:23:46. > :23:58.count. Wales are giving the ball away, now.
:23:59. > :24:08.Made that pass count, but only just, Fara Williams.
:24:09. > :24:36.Some late pressure. Just got her foot to it. 11 corners to Wales
:24:37. > :25:16.three. 63 minutes gone now. Lucy Bronze seems
:25:17. > :25:22.She has a lot of experience. She has played at University level. Always
:25:23. > :25:48.looking to play forward. Defends well because she has got pace.
:25:49. > :25:55.England playing in comfortable triangles. Toni Duggan and Lucy
:25:56. > :26:10.Bronze, they have a chance. Jill Scott forces the corner.
:26:11. > :26:16.England playing with much more confidence now. That second goal has
:26:17. > :26:21.not the stuffing out of Wales. They can pass it around and not under as
:26:22. > :26:25.much pressure. It is difficult to continue to play with that intensity
:26:26. > :26:38.that Wales started the first half with.
:26:39. > :27:57.Lucy Bronze with another England effort on the Welsh goal.
:27:58. > :28:06.Wales have shown a lot of positives in this qualifying campaign. In
:28:07. > :28:11.their first performance and the level they worked at, how they
:28:12. > :28:16.defended in their good shape. A couple of chances, but I think that
:28:17. > :28:23.England had been a bit stronger on the night. Fara Williams going for a
:28:24. > :28:30.tip, but Wales saw it coming early enough to drop on the line. As a
:28:31. > :28:32.goalkeeper, you are always at risk when Fara Williams is coming running
:28:33. > :28:53.towards you. England should have qualified, given
:28:54. > :29:02.their position outside the home nations in this group. Not a bad
:29:03. > :29:07.effort from Wiltshire, and given the fact that that England game at home
:29:08. > :29:11.to Wales, think it would be their fourth in a row at home in the
:29:12. > :29:23.group, I think they have got fourth in a row at home in the
:29:24. > :29:51.our five players for words. England getting themselves back in position.
:29:52. > :30:08.Damage limitation now with 20 minutes to go, for Wales. They
:30:09. > :30:25.finished bottom of their Euro 0 group. Third in the Euro 13
:30:26. > :30:29.qualifier. I think they can build on this performance, particularly the
:30:30. > :30:36.first half Foreman 's. -- performance. They have a 12 team
:30:37. > :30:40.national league. Cardiff 's the worthy inaugural champions. -- card
:30:41. > :31:07.of the worthy inaugural champions. Casey Stoney and Steph Houghton have
:31:08. > :31:12.coped well with the little bit that Wales have thrown at them. She is
:31:13. > :31:26.coped well with the little bit that top young player who actually
:31:27. > :31:35.Steph Houghton needed to get the second touch away. It is a danger if
:31:36. > :31:38.your team has so much of the position further up the pitch that
:31:39. > :31:45.as a centre half, you might switch off. Casey Stoney made two mistakes
:31:46. > :31:55.and the Turkish centre forward went through on a couple of occasions.
:31:56. > :32:03.Jordan Nobbs, England are pouring players forward, and Karen Carney
:32:04. > :32:12.wants it on the left. She was not best use. Scott need support.
:32:13. > :32:19.Jordan Nobbs, eventually playing at left. Karen Carney was waiting all
:32:20. > :32:28.the time out here. The right footed cross. And not for the first time
:32:29. > :32:35.this evening, Sophie Ingle, the 22-year-old defender from Chelsea
:32:36. > :32:36.gets it away. Played very well in the cup final against Birmingham
:32:37. > :32:54.last year, the centre back. Got the shout that Jill Scott was
:32:55. > :33:06.behind her. For a minute Alex Scott thought that
:33:07. > :33:30.it had run through. England at the moment have scored 16
:33:31. > :33:45.goals in this World Cup qualifying campaign. Canada will host the
:33:46. > :33:54.seventh edition of the FIFA World Women's Cup. Ottowan and Monkton, if
:33:55. > :34:03.you fancy a trip out there. England are going to take off Ellen
:34:04. > :34:28.White and bring on Natasha Dowie. She has worked very hard. Again Has
:34:29. > :34:32.Ellen White. Natasha Dowie, with 20 goals in 20 games for her club in
:34:33. > :34:43.the super league this year, the champions, Liverpool. Toni Duggan
:34:44. > :34:58.will depart as well. These changes with 16 minutes to go, made very
:34:59. > :35:02.much with a trip to Turkey in mind. It was only a couple of years ago
:35:03. > :35:05.that the Jess Clarke was a starter for England. She will be looking to
:35:06. > :35:21.get herself back into a starting position. The new manager coming in.
:35:22. > :35:38.Jess Fishlock, arm in a sling. Cannot see her recovering quickly
:35:39. > :35:42.from that. To the dismay of Glasgow city. Who face Arsenal in the
:35:43. > :35:53.Champions League. Well done to Birmingham as well to
:35:54. > :36:12.get to that stage in the competition for the first time.
:36:13. > :36:21.They meet Zorkiy Krasnagorsk of Russia. Sophie Ingle is in there,
:36:22. > :36:27.but that was a good header away by Steph Houghton. And Loren Dykes The
:36:28. > :36:33.first really big chance inside the penalty area and the header was
:36:34. > :36:39.straight at the goalkeeper. It was a well worked chance from Loren Dykes,
:36:40. > :36:53.but straight at the goalkeeper. Anywhere else, it would have caused
:36:54. > :37:03.a problem. The crowd tonight, 5 62. They were anticipating a 5000 crowd,
:37:04. > :37:05.so there was a 700 strong walk up today. Small steps, but in the right
:37:06. > :37:28.direction. Karen Carney,
:37:29. > :37:37.Dowie, who has come on in both the previous games and scored in both.
:37:38. > :37:43.Just a little bit higher either side, and it would have caused the
:37:44. > :37:56.goalkeeper problems. She scored in the previous World Cup
:37:57. > :38:02.qualifying campaign against Belgium in Belgium.
:38:03. > :38:19.Wales, making another substitution. Off goes Sarah Wiltshire. She has
:38:20. > :38:24.showed promise in fits and starts. She can look back on a pleasing
:38:25. > :38:34.display. She caused problems at times for England. She works hard.
:38:35. > :38:51.Some space now for England to enjoy. Barring a dramatic late and very
:38:52. > :39:01.unlikely comeback for Wales, the game has now been won and lost.
:39:02. > :39:18.Clark has had to be patient for her chance this autumn.
:39:19. > :39:38.Well triangle, that.
:39:39. > :39:54.And Steph probably finds it easier to play centre half. Sophie Bradley
:39:55. > :40:03.use. That is an effort that floats wide from Natasha Dowie. Who would
:40:04. > :40:11.you stick with, ultimately? I don't know. He brought in Gemma Bonner for
:40:12. > :40:15.her experience, and Sophie Bradley has been a permanent fixture next
:40:16. > :40:18.Casey Stoney for a few years. But they have an embarrassment of
:40:19. > :40:22.riches. You want to have a good choice. For the next game, it will
:40:23. > :40:39.be, but long-term... Some trickery and footwork from an
:40:40. > :40:43.underused goalkeeper. The message sent out at the start of the season
:40:44. > :40:51.to the likes of Rachel Yankey is that no one is safe in this England
:40:52. > :40:55.side on reputation alone. It is strange that Rachel Yankey has been
:40:56. > :40:58.included in the last three squads but not been included on the
:40:59. > :41:06.substitutes bench. For the career she has had, she should get a bit
:41:07. > :41:12.more respect than that, I think Steph Houghton were header away
:41:13. > :41:19.gives Wales a corner kick. -- Steph Houghton were
:41:20. > :41:32.that is a good shout. It was left to Steph Houghton.
:41:33. > :41:42.The throw-in, for Wales. Ten minutes to go.
:41:43. > :42:36.England looking very comfortable at this stage. They have dominated
:42:37. > :42:50.Great space for Scott. Going beyond the full-back. Jordan Nobbs as busy
:42:51. > :43:04.as ever. England got a touch onto it. Settling for the throw-in.
:43:05. > :43:14.Fara Williams, and that was swerving in the air. Nicola Davies did well
:43:15. > :43:19.just to flip it over. That seemed to pick up speed as it went. It was
:43:20. > :43:32.swerving in the air. There is a little bit of a breeze down there.
:43:33. > :43:56.Fara Williams has had an excellent game. Mis-hit by Scott. The official
:43:57. > :44:00.player of the match, Fara Williams. She has been the focal point of all
:44:01. > :44:07.the attacks were England and got it going in the second half. Apart from
:44:08. > :44:11.that, she is so experienced. Don't forget you can have your say on the
:44:12. > :44:53.night were match by using the hashtag BBC football.
:44:54. > :45:11.Akram, I think. -- a cramp. She has done a lot of work tonight, Helen
:45:12. > :45:19.Ward. I think the Welsh coach and his assistants down there, they seem
:45:20. > :45:26.to be encouraging them. his assistants down there, they seem
:45:27. > :46:06.more positives than negatives. They need to work
:46:07. > :46:37.Two Liverpool players, Fara Williams and Lucy Bronze.
:46:38. > :46:47.Lucy Bronze has been hurt there She caught the bottom of her legs onto
:46:48. > :47:28.her foot, Loren Dykes. England, 2-0, they have had many
:47:29. > :47:34.more chances, they dominated the session. It was 70%,
:47:35. > :47:36.more chances, they dominated the now. Wales made it difficult for the
:47:37. > :47:51.first half. Jill Scott made a great run in the
:47:52. > :48:04.middle, but it was blocked by Kylie Davies.
:48:05. > :48:09.As a kid, Kylie Davies said that she wanted to be a lollipop lady,
:48:10. > :48:13.because she thought that they sold lollipops. She must to be
:48:14. > :48:55.disappointed by the truth. England are seeing the game out in
:48:56. > :49:01.accomplished fashion. Stretching the play, playing it wide, they are
:49:02. > :49:07.narrower times when they need to, but mainly, Lucy, just keeping
:49:08. > :49:11.position. Yes, Brent Hills will be pleased with how they dealt with the
:49:12. > :49:14.resistance from Wales in the first-half and how they got the
:49:15. > :49:18.goals and had they played since They have kept the ball well and
:49:19. > :49:36.have remained patient. That is the key word.
:49:37. > :50:34.A much better second half from Jordan Nobbs.
:50:35. > :51:03.England heading into their fourth game in Turkey this week.
:51:04. > :51:09.More to come from this Welsh side in this campaign. That challenge, that
:51:10. > :51:19.has to be a foul. We're into the three minutes of
:51:20. > :52:00.stoppage time now. She was going for gold, but do
:52:01. > :52:06.nothing she connected it right. -- but do not think. Just the one save
:52:07. > :52:40.that the goalkeeper had to make Karen Bardsley, and she did that OK!
:52:41. > :52:46.Can Wales get a consolation? Surely this late stage, it would be more
:52:47. > :53:47.than that is. -- it would be no more Karen Carney, taking on Hawkins and
:53:48. > :53:51.she beat her. A lovely run by Karen Carney! She went for the glorious
:53:52. > :53:58.finish of the day. There were better options. Great feet from Karen
:53:59. > :54:03.Carney, moves the ball very quickly, at the end of this run, she deserved
:54:04. > :54:09.a goal, but the finished didn't match the run, and she knows it But
:54:10. > :54:14.it has been a comfortable enough win for England in the end on the
:54:15. > :54:20.scoreboard alone. And the manager, Brent Hills, he celebrates a third
:54:21. > :54:25.win in three games in charge. All of the damage done in a scam early in
:54:26. > :54:35.the second half. Jordan Nobbs and Toni Duggan. England had 20 of
:54:36. > :54:44.chances. Wales snuck in there, but a comfortable win from England. Lots
:54:45. > :54:47.of positives for Wales, by day comfortable England victory in the
:54:48. > :54:55.end. Wales will look forward to the rest of their group. Fara Williams
:54:56. > :55:00.was outstanding. No doubt that Wales badly missed Jess Fishlock and
:55:01. > :55:05.Natasha Harding going off at half-time. Did not have enough.
:55:06. > :55:10.England topped the group and looking at a commanding position on the road
:55:11. > :55:18.to Canada winning this World Cup tie against Wales, 2-0.
:55:19. > :55:24.England maintaining their 100% record at the top of Group 6 and
:55:25. > :55:28.head to Turkey for their next match on Thursday. A long trip tomorrow.
:55:29. > :55:33.Wales stay in seconds despite on Thursday. A long trip tomorrow.
:55:34. > :55:35.defeat. Next up for England on Thursday. A long trip tomorrow.
:55:36. > :55:44.Turkey away. That is on on Thursday. A long trip tomorrow.
:55:45. > :55:50.So, Faye White, what did you make of that 2-0 victory for England? I
:55:51. > :55:54.think it was good, because the team remained patient in their approach
:55:55. > :56:00.and increase the intensity. He needed that to unlock the defence,
:56:01. > :56:04.because they were sitting deep on the defence and wasn't a lot of
:56:05. > :56:09.space. When England played good one and two touches around the box, and
:56:10. > :56:18.were precise, it showed some good quality finishes. Jane, your
:56:19. > :56:22.thoughts on Wales? I'm disappointed for them, they worked extremely
:56:23. > :56:26.hard, but they would have learnt a lot on playing against England, and
:56:27. > :56:31.to fully we can continue to build on the work that they have already
:56:32. > :56:36.done. The two goals were Jordan Nobbs and Toni Duggan, the people
:56:37. > :56:39.that they were calling for to be played during the European
:56:40. > :56:46.Championships in the summer? Yes, they gave the team energy, youth and
:56:47. > :56:50.enthusiasm. Tonight they are constantly wanting to get on the
:56:51. > :56:53.wall and go forward and create things. I think they definitely
:56:54. > :56:59.helped, along with Fara Williams who had a fantastic game. They
:57:00. > :57:03.definitely played well and got the result they needed. Wales were very
:57:04. > :57:07.difficult to break down. They were set up in a way that was difficult
:57:08. > :57:14.and England managed to do it with those players and the rest of the
:57:15. > :57:18.team. At half-time, you said that England's temper wasn't as it should
:57:19. > :57:26.have been, that was approved in the first goal in the second half. It
:57:27. > :57:32.was good play. Lugo does well to take the defender on. -- Aluko does
:57:33. > :57:36.well. Not sure if Alex Scott was picking out, but just highlighting
:57:37. > :57:44.Jess picking out, but just highlighting
:57:45. > :57:51.shoulder. A brilliant finish by Jordan. Also, to see the keeper just
:57:52. > :57:57.slightly off, she knows what she is trying to do and that is what you
:57:58. > :58:03.need, in stepped around the box It is great that she can have a finish
:58:04. > :58:08.that quality. Do you think Jess Fishlock was thinking about her
:58:09. > :58:13.injury at that stage? I think it was a case of Hayley being drawn out
:58:14. > :58:17.wide and diving in but with the central midfielder being out that
:58:18. > :58:23.wide, Jess was left on her lonesome, and then the injury could have had
:58:24. > :58:29.an effect. It will obviously affect her mentally and she seemed to be in
:58:30. > :58:32.a bit of pain. She was a huge loss when she went off. It makes a huge
:58:33. > :58:38.difference because she is the captain, the leader, she is there to
:58:39. > :58:50.organise the team. And Michelle Green did a fantastic job replacing
:58:51. > :58:53.her, but Jess's experience would always be a big loss. And the second
:58:54. > :58:58.goal was by Toni Duggan. It took forever for the ball to come down.
:58:59. > :59:05.It's sort of goes up in the era and as a player you are thinking, come
:59:06. > :59:09.down, come down and as it comes down, that is a lovely technique, to
:59:10. > :59:13.get over the ball and keep it down. It was a fantastic finish from Toni
:59:14. > :59:18.Duggan and in the end, it was a long ball from England which we are not
:59:19. > :59:22.used to. A fantastic technique and she looks absolutely delighted
:59:23. > :59:33.because at 1-0, anything can happen. Wales had some chances. It
:59:34. > :59:38.could have been more for England had it not been for the Welsh goalkeeper
:59:39. > :59:44.making some crucial saves. Yes, she made some crucial saves. This was a
:59:45. > :59:49.great header by Karen Carney, almost right at Nicola Davies, but she does
:59:50. > :59:55.well to react. Certainly under pressure from a lot of crosses
:59:56. > :59:59.today. Here, Steph Houghton is unsighted a little bit by Aluko but
:00:00. > :00:11.she has been making great saves all season for Doncaster as well. Helen
:00:12. > :00:14.Ward always looked a threat for Wales on the break. One surprise she
:00:15. > :00:21.exploited some gaps in the England defence. Helen is a key player for
:00:22. > :00:29.Wales. She has over 50 goals, I think. The team is very well
:00:30. > :00:33.organised defensively now, and when we are in possession we need to do a
:00:34. > :00:38.little bit more, with the ball. She is key to us for the rest of the
:00:39. > :00:41.campaign. I think she did very well to get in between the two England
:00:42. > :00:48.centre halves. She did it three times in the game. She was able to
:00:49. > :00:52.figure that out quickly. She's running from deep. She has got good
:00:53. > :01:00.pace. There, it is just the first touch. But it is swerving away from
:01:01. > :01:12.the post and Karen Bardsley had it covered. But she is a threat. We'll
:01:13. > :01:16.pitch side with the goal-scorers. You had to wait a little bit longer
:01:17. > :01:20.than the last game to get your goal. Yes, they frustrated us in the first
:01:21. > :01:26.half but I am happy that the goal came and more than happy that we got
:01:27. > :01:31.the three points. And the performers in the first half that one thing and
:01:32. > :01:35.that was the goal and you got it at the start of the second half. I am
:01:36. > :01:41.just glad to get on the pitch and put on a performance. It is a bonus
:01:42. > :01:43.to get on the scoresheet. At half-time did the coach says Digg
:01:44. > :01:46.push forward a little half-time did the coach says Digg
:01:47. > :01:51.be more advanced in the second half than in the first. Yes, I prefer
:01:52. > :01:56.later on in the game and just try to keep putting balls in. And to try
:01:57. > :02:00.and help the team out. What did Wales do in the first half this
:02:01. > :02:08.respect you because you had a lot of the play? They definitely frustrated
:02:09. > :02:15.us. At half-time we went in and the coach said, be patient, we knew that
:02:16. > :02:20.our game plan was good. How easy is it for midfielders making deep ones
:02:21. > :02:27.and 4/ Ellen White in there? She did not score today but that was another
:02:28. > :02:30.workmanlike performance from her. She has got one of the best work
:02:31. > :02:37.rates around. We know that she is always going to work hard. And we
:02:38. > :02:42.were patient again, and that worked. Looking at an end plaque and white,
:02:43. > :02:45.nine points from three games and people will be thinking that this is
:02:46. > :02:49.easy, but you have the first of the difficult away trips, although
:02:50. > :02:55.having beaten Turkey easily at home, what is it going to be like watching
:02:56. > :03:02.Mark we performed well. It was a big scoreline, we won 8-0. But
:03:03. > :03:06.complacency can make it hard. There could be a slip up. But we're going
:03:07. > :03:10.into the game with full confidence and if we can keep doing what we are
:03:11. > :03:16.doing then we can put up a good performance. It looks commanding.
:03:17. > :03:20.What is the most pleasing thing about these performances beyond
:03:21. > :03:23.having won the three games? As a squad we are all working hard and
:03:24. > :03:29.working together. That has shown in the past three games. I think if we
:03:30. > :03:31.have got the team together, we will win games. Well done to both of you
:03:32. > :03:44.tonight. It was a shocking disappointment in
:03:45. > :03:54.the euros when they finished bottom of the group. They had to do it
:03:55. > :03:57.didn't they? They need to forget about it and move on and that is
:03:58. > :04:00.exactly what they have done and they have building confidence. They have
:04:01. > :04:06.impressed not just with the results but more with how they have played
:04:07. > :04:11.and how they have looked together as a team which they did not look in
:04:12. > :04:15.the euros. They seem to be playing with confidence and freedom and they
:04:16. > :04:22.have showed, winning all three games and on top of the group. I was just
:04:23. > :04:26.talking about the impact of Toni Duggan and Jordan Nobbs. We lost
:04:27. > :04:32.some firmament. What sort of impact have a had with their presence, the
:04:33. > :04:39.youth, their personality? We have got to bring in that injection of
:04:40. > :04:42.vibrance. In the euros, we saw two games England were expected to win
:04:43. > :04:47.and they struggle to break down teams. And we lost our way and allow
:04:48. > :04:52.the other teams to come into it but today, remained patient, believing
:04:53. > :04:57.in the way that we were going to play and our game plan, and that is
:04:58. > :05:01.the pleasing thing. We did not get frustrated. We upped the tempo in
:05:02. > :05:05.the second half to get that goal. In the euros when the goals did not
:05:06. > :05:08.come, it would likely lacked an idea or any way of breaking teams down,
:05:09. > :05:14.and we certainly looked nervous then, when we were defending our own
:05:15. > :05:22.goal, but it did not look like that today. We can hear from the Wales
:05:23. > :05:26.manager who is with Jonathan Pearce. I am proud of the performance from
:05:27. > :05:31.our players. We played one of the best teams in the world today. In an
:05:32. > :05:36.excellent stadium, and we played against a good team, and I am proud
:05:37. > :05:41.of the way that the players have performed. We have problems in the
:05:42. > :05:51.first half losing two players, not able to play fully. And I felt that
:05:52. > :05:55.our girls made it a game and I would like to congratulate England also
:05:56. > :06:02.because they continue to put in good performances. The Pasha Harding was
:06:03. > :06:10.injured. Jess Fishlock came out and try to battle on. How brave was she
:06:11. > :06:13.with that arm injury? They were both extremely tough, but you could see
:06:14. > :06:20.that she was struggling and just looking at the situation, she gave
:06:21. > :06:23.us the thumbs up, and just wanted to try, but everyone could see that
:06:24. > :06:31.that rest was troubling her. Unlucky to lose both such great players And
:06:32. > :06:35.the third blow was the timing of the first England goal just after
:06:36. > :06:39.half-time. We knew that we had to be focused on the start of the half and
:06:40. > :06:47.the end of the half, as well, because there was going to be
:06:48. > :06:50.pressure, but it felt like it was a disappointing goal to concede. I
:06:51. > :06:55.know that the girls will be disappointed because they battled so
:06:56. > :06:58.well and defended so well. Given the new plan for women's football in
:06:59. > :07:02.Wales and we the game has come from, you must be very encouraged. I
:07:03. > :07:07.am very pleased with the way that the national team has improved. With
:07:08. > :07:14.the young players coming in, to give a little bit of competition and
:07:15. > :07:17.support to the senior players, taking woman's football through that
:07:18. > :07:22.pioneering stage, you could call it, and I am pleased with the overall
:07:23. > :07:30.progress. Best of luck for the rest of the campaign. Thank you very
:07:31. > :07:34.much, I appreciated. You could be doing that Jess Fishlock on the
:07:35. > :07:43.pitch when you're playing against England. She was clearly in pain.
:07:44. > :07:49.How much the think it affected her? She looks like she is in an extreme
:07:50. > :07:53.game. She worked as hard as she could to continue. But
:07:54. > :08:00.huge loss to the Welsh national team if she is not on the pitch. I
:08:01. > :08:04.think, the game today as a whole, the goals will have learned a lot.
:08:05. > :08:11.They will have taken many positives from the game. England are a top
:08:12. > :08:14.nation. One of the top in the world, and we are still very much a
:08:15. > :08:21.developing nation. There have been lots of positives in the last two
:08:22. > :08:26.months and in the previous two three years, but we still have a hell of a
:08:27. > :08:29.lot of work to do, but it is good to be an enjoyable journey. We are at
:08:30. > :08:33.the start of a process that will hopefully bring success in future.
:08:34. > :08:37.We have some good young players coming through, who will hopefully
:08:38. > :08:41.be part of this in years to come. But I feel sorry for Jess Fishlock.
:08:42. > :08:46.She would have been looking forward to this game for months. Since the
:08:47. > :08:49.schedule was arranged. She would have been looking forward to this
:08:50. > :08:54.immensely and has had to come off injured, so disappointing for her.
:08:55. > :08:59.We can hear from the England interim manager Brent Hills. You had to be
:09:00. > :09:06.more patient before those goals came. That was key, today, to keep
:09:07. > :09:09.playing our game, to pass the ball and dominate possession and wait for
:09:10. > :09:14.the chances but I was certain would come. Did you say at half-time to
:09:15. > :09:20.Jordan Nobbs to push on a bit? She got that role attacking. I think she
:09:21. > :09:25.does that naturally. I did not particularly said that. I used the
:09:26. > :09:28.words that you just use, be patient and keep seeking to dominate
:09:29. > :09:32.possession and I felt if we did that and kept switching play that gaps
:09:33. > :09:43.would appear, and they were tired, and they did. I am pleased the Toni
:09:44. > :09:46.Duggan as well. Any problems for Turkey? Apart from the 18 hours
:09:47. > :09:48.travel and a 30 degrees heat, no. It is looking
:09:49. > :09:55.the table. The way that the squad is playing and the way
:09:56. > :09:57.the table. The way that the squad is together after the disappointments
:09:58. > :10:02.in the euros, is it even more pleasing, that run of results? I
:10:03. > :10:08.just try to emphasise the basics that we have often emphasise, and,
:10:09. > :10:14.to stress that we must play with energy and tempo. There was no other
:10:15. > :10:18.way. And they are starting to believe that they can do it. They
:10:19. > :10:23.must not take their foot off the gas and the complacent going to Turkey.
:10:24. > :10:28.We saw that tonight. Helen Ward got through, and when you Dominic
:10:29. > :10:32.possession, that can be a problem. And that header late on from Loren
:10:33. > :10:35.Dykes. That was the only moment that your goalkeeper had to deal with in
:10:36. > :10:43.the game. You have just got to concentrate so hard in international
:10:44. > :10:47.football. Marks out of ten for the squad so far in the three games
:10:48. > :10:55.played? Between six and seven, progression. You are a hard man
:10:56. > :11:01.Well done! Between six and seven. That is pretty harsh. Let us have a
:11:02. > :11:05.look at the table and see how things stand after that third match for
:11:06. > :11:11.England. Nine points out of nine for England. And that victory against
:11:12. > :11:17.Belarus, for Wales so far. What do you make of it? It has been
:11:18. > :11:22.encouraging. I expect us to beat Belarus and Turkey convincingly and
:11:23. > :11:28.by many goals, which was positive. I knew that it would be a big test
:11:29. > :11:31.against Wales with their experience. And their players knowing what our
:11:32. > :11:36.players are about, playing in the WSL, but we achieved what we wanted
:11:37. > :11:43.to, we were patient, and that is the positive thing, and we put up the
:11:44. > :11:46.tempo when we needed it. And you are in charge of leading ladies,
:11:47. > :11:52.preparing for life in WSL two. How is that going? Fantastic. I'm
:11:53. > :12:00.extremely lucky to end up in a club that sees the women's game with
:12:01. > :12:05.loads of potential. We have a young squad who are thoroughly enjoying
:12:06. > :12:10.the training that we do so far. We need one or two experienced heads,
:12:11. > :12:15.but, the season cannot come round quick enough for us. We are
:12:16. > :12:22.thoroughly looking forward to WSL kicking off in March. It has been
:12:23. > :12:28.fantastic having you here tonight. And, Sue, what are your overall
:12:29. > :12:33.thoughts about what you have seen? They have developed from the euros.
:12:34. > :12:37.Brent Hills has taken over. He has had three games, he has had to try
:12:38. > :12:45.and, not prove himself, but show what he can do. They have just got
:12:46. > :12:52.to look forward to Turkey now. It is three out of three for England, and
:12:53. > :12:55.a nice way to celebrate, 150 years of the initial FA. The founding
:12:56. > :13:01.fathers and mothers would be very proud. Goodbye.
