:02:26. > :02:35.do. Tickets can be booked for Canada, and their third successive
:02:36. > :02:43.cup final. Wales should be up for a play-off place. Nine of the Welsh
:02:44. > :02:50.side played at Millwall will stop Michelle Green is the highest capped
:02:51. > :02:57.player. Their key player is just the schlock, who scored two hat-tricks
:02:58. > :02:59.in this campaign. Four of these players play at the same club. --
:03:00. > :03:15.their key player is Jess Fishlock. Jordan Nobbs has missed the last

:03:28. > :03:37.IDS a draw would suit both teams. Both teams have plenty of goal
:03:38. > :03:41.threat, I can tell you. I saw Aluko, who has eight goals in this
:03:42. > :03:48.qualifying. Sanderson will certainly create. There is Jess Fishlock, who
:03:49. > :03:54.has won titles in Sweden, Australia and Scotland, has 28 goals for her
:03:55. > :04:01.country. When she injured her arm in the defeat at Millwall last autumn,
:04:02. > :04:10.some of the force was taken out of the Welsh team. The referee is from
:04:11. > :04:18.Greece. England in White will kick us off. Karen Carney scored a couple
:04:19. > :04:26.games Sweden. A very handsome win earlier this month. England in fine
:04:27. > :04:37.form. Five wins in a row. 12 wins in 14 sins the Euro disaster. -- in 14
:04:38. > :04:40.since the disaster of last summer. In the 90 minutes away from the
:04:41. > :04:51.World Cup finals perhaps. They get us under way. Lucy, why a midfield
:04:52. > :04:55.diamond for England? They employed it when they played Sweden recently
:04:56. > :05:00.and beat them convincingly. He liked how it worked. It will be very
:05:01. > :05:04.compact defensively, in wide areas you have to shuffle across, that is
:05:05. > :05:10.where Wales can capitalise, in wide areas. Spectacular play by Laura
:05:11. > :05:19.Bassett. She has featured in the last three qualifiers. She is
:05:20. > :05:29.keeping stony out of the side at the moment. Demi Stokes with a touch
:05:30. > :05:34.back. She has gone to university in South Florida as a senior. She came
:05:35. > :05:40.into the side very well last. For a win for Wales. This is one of the
:05:41. > :05:50.Bristol Academy girls. A very experienced Welsh international.
:05:51. > :05:58.Stokes once again. The crowd here at Cardiff City Stadium below us on
:05:59. > :06:05.this side. Plenty of chanting here for Wales. The first corner of the
:06:06. > :06:07.night. She is lively, scored home and away against Turkey and
:06:08. > :06:12.Montenegrin earlier on in qualifying. Demi Stokes fails to
:06:13. > :06:22.clear the ball, thought it would go out for a goal kick. She got in
:06:23. > :06:31.behind. And early threat. Here comes the corner, beyond the far post.
:06:32. > :06:36.From the back. It was Nicola Cousins the other girl who did not start at
:06:37. > :06:51.Millwall in that 2-0 defeat. She plays for Yeovil Town.
:06:52. > :07:00.We expect to see Sanderson Romansh drop a little bit deeper to play
:07:01. > :07:05.forward to Aluko. Toni Duggan is there just outside the penalty area.
:07:06. > :07:11.Inside the box on the far side was Jordan Nobbs, who got forward well.
:07:12. > :07:25.And we'll do in support. Fara Williams, the most capped footballer
:07:26. > :07:29.for England. Fishlock. Very gifted. She is very much sought after, she
:07:30. > :07:33.joins Frankfurt on loan at the end of the US season. She plays for
:07:34. > :07:38.Seattle rain. They finished top this is in. A face Washington in the
:07:39. > :07:45.semifinal this weekend. Definitely the key player for Wales. She's
:07:46. > :07:50.probably one of the best players of every team she has played out.
:07:51. > :07:54.England will keep an eye on her. She will be determined. She struggled in
:07:55. > :07:57.the last game, broke her arm, still struggled through to just after
:07:58. > :08:01.half-time. She is a key player for Wales. It was remarkable, she should
:08:02. > :08:10.have gone off a long time before she did. Mark Sampson, he was at Swansea
:08:11. > :08:16.working at the Roberto Martinez Centre of excellence for awhile. Do
:08:17. > :08:22.you think he was singing the Welsh anthem in his head when that was
:08:23. > :08:27.going? You must have. Very proud to be the English manager, he told us
:08:28. > :08:32.when he took up the reins. He first took charge in the manga at the turn
:08:33. > :08:52.of the year, then went to the Cyprus tournament. -- lamb under -- La
:08:53. > :08:54.Manga. Sanderson looking for Scott, who always loved to get forward, she
:08:55. > :09:08.started as a forward. What a qualifying campaign Aluko is
:09:09. > :09:12.having, 13 goals in the last 18 internationals for England, the
:09:13. > :09:18.Chelsea player. Ex-goals for Chelsea this season. -- six goals for
:09:19. > :09:31.Chelsea. 130 caps for Williams. England's
:09:32. > :09:36.most capped footballer. It has been a steady start. I did not think it
:09:37. > :09:40.would be frenetic, both teams could benefit for the point, they will
:09:41. > :09:44.play for it. Wales know they are setting themselves up for a play-off
:09:45. > :10:20.with Ukraine. England will qualify with a point. Fara Williams.

:10:34. > :10:51.they have a really good 11 to threat in England.
:10:52. > :10:56.That is the problem when Wales threw themselves forward, England have
:10:57. > :11:01.such quick players like Aluko on the attack. They get in Wales's penalty
:11:02. > :11:11.area really quickly and forced the corner. One
:11:12. > :11:17.area really quickly and forced the England. Towards the near post. Such
:11:18. > :11:21.a skilful footballer. Flicked wide. Lost her place in the team the last
:11:22. > :11:25.couple of qualifiers, but when she returned to the setup after her
:11:26. > :11:30.fallout with the previous coach, she really made a difference in the
:11:31. > :11:33.spring internationals. She is experienced. She has played out in
:11:34. > :11:38.the States for a lot of years, as the experience of playing with
:11:39. > :11:43.excellent players out there. She is a strong, loud character,
:11:44. > :11:46.excellent players out there. She is important as this will not faze her,
:11:47. > :11:46.excellent players out there. She is I expect she will end up
:11:47. > :12:15.excellent players out there. She is deeper than Duggan at the tip of the
:12:16. > :12:16.excellent players out there. She is Harding playing through the middle
:12:17. > :12:44.That is a foul. Lots of bodies in Millwall.

:13:47. > :13:51.A couple of times England have looked a little tentative at the
:13:52. > :13:57.back. They have to capitalise on that, Wales. If they make sure the
:13:58. > :14:02.passes get there, they will be happy with the start. Matikainen, the
:14:03. > :14:23.coach of Wales. The chances Wales have, they have to
:14:24. > :14:27.make more of them. They have seen a wobble from England at the back,
:14:28. > :14:30.they can capitalise on it, the more determined. The manager was talking
:14:31. > :14:41.about playing the game, not the occasion. A big game for these girls
:14:42. > :14:45.in Cardiff. Stokes. I have looked at the fixture list for England's
:14:46. > :14:50.qualifying campaign, this looked like the stiffest fixture. Stiffer

:15:02. > :15:11.They have started games well in this tournament. Williams is a very

:16:12. > :16:18.at Millwall in their defeat. Only one defeat in 14 matches for Wales.
:16:19. > :16:30.They drew with Scotland earlier on in a warm up.

:36:22. > :36:25.The England players are Handball there. Not sure if it was.

:37:14. > :37:22.good. We will see if Wales will just keep England to have these occasions
:37:23. > :37:28.on the edge of the box. They are just keeping them at bay but they
:37:29. > :37:38.need to get tighter earlier and make use of these situations. Not a great
:37:39. > :37:48.touch. Went for a goal kick. Big Neville Southall in his Everton
:37:49. > :38:01.jacket in the crowd. Most capped and Welsh play with 92 caps. He was
:38:02. > :38:13.beaten by someone getting the 93rd in earlier this month. They cannot
:38:14. > :38:26.get on the ball at the moment. Here is Sanderson. Good defensive shape

:38:45. > :38:56.referee on the far side, definitely offside. The two centre hats. Wales
:38:57. > :39:04.are making it difficult for them to break through. Williams again. I do
:39:05. > :39:09.not know if she was expecting to come back there. England are
:39:10. > :39:17.relentless in there attacking phases. The crowd, the majority of
:39:18. > :39:30.them happy with how Wales have done since the call. Qualifying for major
:39:31. > :39:46.tournament finals, Wales, but the European campaign saw them finish
:39:47. > :40:14.third. Much better than 2009. Inside the last ten minutes of the first
:40:15. > :40:23.half. That is it. Dropping deep. Space on the right-hand side. Wrong
:40:24. > :40:27.option there. It is weird watching a game without loads of calls, with
:40:28. > :40:34.England involved. The amount we have covered these qualifiers. I thought
:40:35. > :40:42.it was going to be a tight appear with local rivalry. Wales have there
:40:43. > :40:54.own agenda in terms of qualifying for the play-offs. Beaten in 42
:40:55. > :40:58.qualifiers, England. They have been scoring goals for fun in this
:40:59. > :41:12.competition so far. Good run into the gap. Plenty support. Stalks

:42:30. > :42:41.experienced player. That was accurate. Fara Williams. The referee
:42:42. > :42:45.played the advantage without making any real sign she was doing so. A
:42:46. > :43:00.real layer there from the Liverpool player. Fishlock. I am not too sure
:43:01. > :43:03.that was a foul, the first one was. Fishlock won that really well
:43:04. > :43:31.without really touching the England clear. Duggan, Sanderson. One of the
:43:32. > :43:37.players who moved to Manchester City this year. The suspicion of a
:43:38. > :43:43.handball and England get a second. They looked to the referee, they
:43:44. > :43:50.thought it might have been handball. That was a cracking finish. It is
:43:51. > :43:55.nine goals out of ten for heart. That bounced over the head of the
:43:56. > :44:01.Welsh. I think that was England. That was a shoulder for me. She
:44:02. > :44:07.tried to control it with the chest I think. In the end it was the
:44:08. > :44:14.shoulder. In the end it was in the back of the net. The Welsh players
:44:15. > :44:25.looked. That was not a handball, was it? A magnificent finish. That was
:44:26. > :44:31.great. Get hurt that much space, that is what she will do
:44:32. > :44:50.great. Get hurt that much space, penalty area. -- give her. She is on
:44:51. > :44:53.fire. Fighting talk. Last season very
:44:54. > :45:01.fire. Fighting talk. Last season bright for me. There she goes again,
:45:02. > :45:12.Aluko. Into the box and the far post. Headed away. That header saved
:45:13. > :45:18.Wales there. Now another goal for England before half-time with mean
:45:19. > :45:24.curtains for the Welsh. If they are to retain hopes of finishing in the
:45:25. > :45:43.top four and go for a play off place. If they lose this...
:45:44. > :45:47.top four and go for a play off this would be difficult. England now
:45:48. > :45:48.top four and go for a play off they need at least a point
:45:49. > :45:49.top four and go for a play off qualify. Exceptional strength have
:45:50. > :45:58.England. There is qualify. Exceptional strength have
:45:59. > :46:08.cannot go out and beat Ukraine. They are fifth place on the medal table
:46:09. > :46:12.for runners up. The runners up group excludes results in the bottom team.
:46:13. > :46:15.for runners up. The runners up group The win against Portugal at home.
:46:16. > :46:20.for runners up. The runners up group There are qualifying for that
:46:21. > :46:26.for runners up. The runners up group like. Bulgaria today, that will not
:46:27. > :46:31.count, Bulgaria are bottom. Then they play France and read the group
:46:32. > :46:48.away. The Dutch good finish in second place. They need to win in
:46:49. > :47:02.Ukraine. I do not think Aluko, she has improved this season. She has
:47:03. > :47:08.has become cleverer the way she plays and get in position to score
:47:09. > :47:20.goals and obviously scored them as well. 12 goals now altogether. Very
:47:21. > :47:36.consistent. Williams. Sanderson. Aluko is in the middle. Unless they
:47:37. > :47:47.do something, Wales, and stop this flow from England, it is just
:47:48. > :47:53.running away from them, the game. This man might need to inject some
:47:54. > :48:01.pace into the centre of his midfield. Maybe an extra player in
:48:02. > :48:15.there to allow Jess Fishlock to do something. England have a third!
:48:16. > :48:21.That was at the far post! That is brilliant to see. Look how surprised
:48:22. > :48:26.everybody is. She is surprised herself to have got on the
:48:27. > :48:32.scoresheet. A great finish in the end. At first I thought Aluko was
:48:33. > :48:39.going to get a head on this but it just fell. She connected with it and
:48:40. > :48:47.a goal is a goal. Well done, Laura Bassett. The players looked
:48:48. > :48:55.surprised, I was surprised up here. I had to take a double take. It is
:48:56. > :49:00.not something she does very often. Some people say she has come into
:49:01. > :49:11.this side doing things most people expect to have played. Played an
:49:12. > :49:21.increasingly important role in qualifying. In the last four now.
:49:22. > :49:34.Sanderson. It is for. Brilliant ball in. England are ripping Wales apart.
:49:35. > :49:40.Jess Fishlock there with her head in her hands. They have just crumble
:49:41. > :49:45.these last few minutes of this half. What a great ball from Alex Scott.
:49:46. > :49:57.Sanderson in that position. Header on ball. 4-0. A great move. This is
:49:58. > :50:06.now just a bridge too far. What a great move that was. Magnificent
:50:07. > :50:16.cross in. She does not miss those, Lianne Sanderson. Sanderson pitching
:50:17. > :50:23.England for-0 up. Carney got the first. A cross battlefield on
:50:24. > :50:27.through. Aluko the second. Laura Bassett with a surprise and seconds
:50:28. > :50:30.later Sanderson with the fourth. England on the way in the World Cup
:50:31. > :50:49.finals. So, for-0 at half-time. Wolves
:50:50. > :50:58.having the stuffing knocked out of them just before the break. It is
:50:59. > :51:03.disappointing. The girls have played well. It is really disappointing
:51:04. > :51:09.because they have done so well this far in the campaign. It is awful to
:51:10. > :51:13.go in with that score at half-time for Wales but hopefully they will
:51:14. > :51:22.come out and get something else in the second half. I think they will
:51:23. > :51:30.come here and want to win. They have done that dried the campaign. Wales
:51:31. > :51:35.are just switching off at set pieces, that is what has let them
:51:36. > :51:40.down. The first few goal square sloppy defending and not really
:51:41. > :51:45.clearing or making decisions. Overall England where just probing
:51:46. > :51:51.and making the way into the game. They have managed to clinically
:51:52. > :51:55.finish when they had the chance. Did you feel that on the performance
:51:56. > :52:02.they were four goals better than Wales? I do not think so. The wear
:52:03. > :52:07.well initially defensively. What England did well was the patient.
:52:08. > :52:13.When they moved the ball quickly Wills were struggling, they were
:52:14. > :52:18.ruthless in front of all. We'll did not quite score from the chances.
:52:19. > :52:25.They made the keeper work but that is it. That is the difference
:52:26. > :52:30.between the two teams at the moment. It was Jess Fishlock who gave away
:52:31. > :52:36.the free kick for the opening goal. She is a tough player. She will
:52:37. > :52:39.always go for those balls and it was just misjudgement. At the time she
:52:40. > :52:47.probably thought she could win the ball. Perfect delivery for a free
:52:48. > :52:56.kick. Hard for the goalkeeper to come for it. The defender allows her
:52:57. > :53:02.to come for it. Not sure whether to come or not. If you are coming do it
:53:03. > :53:05.through the defenders and take everyone but generally it is the
:53:06. > :53:14.actual delivery that makes the mayhem in the Welsh box. Aluko,
:53:15. > :53:20.pretty convincing second goal? She has been playing so well. She has
:53:21. > :53:25.taken that into her England form. She causes problems, has great pace,
:53:26. > :53:29.is great with the ball at her feet. That is something that is a great
:53:30. > :53:37.credit to England, she is causing Wales problems. How well has Aluko
:53:38. > :53:44.come on? How much as she improved over the last few years? Her general
:53:45. > :53:51.game understanding, the fact she can play in a number of positions now.
:53:52. > :53:56.In 2009 she wanted to play down the middle, that was all she wanted to
:53:57. > :54:03.focus on. Now she knows how to play out wide, up front as well. Her
:54:04. > :54:15.finishing, quality as well. When she gets in front of goal she puts them
:54:16. > :54:19.away. Let's look at that finish. You do not expect the throw in to
:54:20. > :54:21.away. Let's look at that finish. You the goal up. It was a mix-up. She
:54:22. > :54:25.did very well and anticipate it. I the goal up. It was a mix-up. She
:54:26. > :54:29.am not sure if that was the hand on a shoulder but it was on the volley
:54:30. > :54:37.and defending wise I am not really sure what happened I think Jean was
:54:38. > :54:45.seeing? Sophie will be disappointed with her reaction. She left Kylie
:54:46. > :54:52.Stump to be honest. I do not think she expected to be left there.
:54:53. > :54:56.Little errors cost you points and games at international level. Six
:54:57. > :55:04.minutes before half-time. Female pretty soon after that. The manager
:55:05. > :55:11.knew she was going to pop up and score a rare goal. Laura Bassett
:55:12. > :55:16.this is another good delivery. She wins the tussle. I think she was a
:55:17. > :55:21.little bit fortunate. She sticks back out her leg and she just hit
:55:22. > :55:27.it. If you are a will player you need to be attacking those areas.
:55:28. > :55:34.You are getting your head on it and the keeper, if coming out, she is
:55:35. > :55:37.claiming it. How impressed have you been with Lianne Sanderson?
:55:38. > :55:39.Impressed. Since she been with Lianne Sanderson?
:55:40. > :55:42.squad she has had a point to been with Lianne Sanderson?
:55:43. > :55:46.Our ability and been with Lianne Sanderson?
:55:47. > :55:56.plays the furthest up the field. You been with Lianne Sanderson?
:55:57. > :56:00.can see here, probably a mistake by the defender but what a ball. Look
:56:01. > :56:05.at Lianne the defender but what a ball. Look
:56:06. > :56:10.there. When you get a ball initially it goes wide to Alex Scott but
:56:11. > :56:14.there. When you get a ball initially knows if she gets the ball into the
:56:15. > :56:21.box Sanderson will be there and it is a great one. She runs off and is
:56:22. > :56:24.box Sanderson will be there and it celebrating. She does not score that
:56:25. > :56:30.many goals with her head but she has the ability. It is disappointing for
:56:31. > :56:38.Wales to have conceded three goals in the latter stages of the first
:56:39. > :56:45.half. Jordan who is back after a back injury. She almost scored with
:56:46. > :56:50.a deadly effort from distance. She is a fantastic player. It is great
:56:51. > :56:56.to have her back in the women's game. She has been out with a back
:56:57. > :57:00.injury. Great opportunity for heard there. She will create a lot of
:57:01. > :57:08.chances because of her energy in midfield. How much have England
:57:09. > :57:15.messed her? It is her energy. It hit or workrate. For a young player,
:57:16. > :57:18.when she came into the side at Arsenal she was not afraid to talk
:57:19. > :57:23.the game. One thing females Arsenal she was not afraid to talk
:57:24. > :57:24.do enough is to be confident, talking, communicating. She does
:57:25. > :57:35.that well. Wales from the talking, communicating. She does
:57:36. > :57:39.looked like one player was going to make a difference. Definitely. Even
:57:40. > :57:44.couple of little half chances. make a difference. Definitely. Even
:57:45. > :57:47.quick feet. It is good defending make a difference. Definitely. Even
:57:48. > :57:51.the end. It was a good positive start for Wales and I thought it was
:57:52. > :57:54.looking promising. And the game goes on they started
:57:55. > :58:00.looking promising. And the game goes She is in a good possession. Laura
:58:01. > :58:06.Bassett does really well to close the angle down. All through the game
:58:07. > :58:12.they looked like they had the opportunities. They just were not
:58:13. > :58:18.ruthless as England had been. That is it. England are 45 minutes away
:58:19. > :58:24.from reaching the World Cup finals. Some of the top sites from around
:58:25. > :58:25.the globe have already qualified. Canada are appealing for the biggest
:58:26. > :59:50.ever event in women's football. I recognise her from somewhere. She
:59:51. > :59:56.normally has bandages around her. Former England captain. You have
:59:57. > :00:00.been vocal against the artificial turf, which is controversial in the
:00:01. > :00:05.Canada World Cup. Five of six things will have it, why are you against
:00:06. > :00:10.it? It is the pinnacle of the women's game, football around the
:00:11. > :00:13.world. It should be played on grass, I am used to playing on grass in
:00:14. > :00:20.England, I don't think there are many players who prefer to play on
:00:21. > :00:25.turf. There are a number of factors, the bounce of the ball, whether it
:00:26. > :00:29.runs true. The chance of injuries. There have been studies. You get
:00:30. > :00:37.injured on grass pitches as well, but I signed that petition a year
:00:38. > :00:42.and a half ago. More is coming to light because we are getting closer
:00:43. > :00:48.to it. It is my opinion, I am used to a game traditionally played on
:00:49. > :00:53.grass. I have trained a lot on turf. Americans play on it a lot. It is a
:00:54. > :00:59.World Cup, final, players want to play on grass. As well as being an
:01:00. > :01:05.Arsenal and Wales legend and manager, you were a physiotherapist,
:01:06. > :01:08.why is this artificial turf so controversial? Regarding artificial
:01:09. > :01:14.turf they will only know the effect in ten or 15 years time. The older
:01:15. > :01:19.players will tell you now that a two hour session on that makes you feel
:01:20. > :01:23.20 years older. If you have any tendon injuries or issues, they will
:01:24. > :01:33.flare-up having a training session on there, let alone again. -- a
:01:34. > :01:39.game. The majority of female players train on it. Would they want to play
:01:40. > :01:43.a competitive game, let alone a World Cup final, on something like
:01:44. > :01:47.that? Probably not. More on that soon. The race to reach Canada is
:01:48. > :01:53.hotting up and the European team to finish top of their group are
:01:54. > :01:57.guaranteed qualification. It is more complicated for the runners-up. The
:01:58. > :02:01.best four of the seven runners-up will go into the play-offs to decide
:02:02. > :02:09.the one remaining obligations but. Making it into those depends on your
:02:10. > :02:12.results against the five teams in your group. Heading into the
:02:13. > :02:19.play-offs, Scotland, Italy, Finland and the Netherlands. Wales currently
:02:20. > :02:24.just missing out on a place, but it could change a lot between now and
:02:25. > :02:30.the last round of games on the 17th of September. Even if you make it
:02:31. > :02:35.into the play-offs you have to win a two legged semifinal in October and
:02:36. > :02:39.two legged final in November to clinch the last available place in
:02:40. > :02:44.the finals. Scotland's hopes of finishing top of the group were
:02:45. > :02:49.dented when Sweden won 3-1 at Motherwell. The Scots will have two
:02:50. > :02:55.win their last group game in Gothenberg to stand a chance of
:02:56. > :02:59.automatic qualification. It is difficult bearing in mind how many
:03:00. > :03:04.matches are involved. Netherlands, Italy, Finland, they are top
:03:05. > :03:10.nations. It will be tough for Scotland. But they can beat them,
:03:11. > :03:15.they have to look at when England played them, it was only a
:03:16. > :03:21.friendly, but England beat them 4-0. Scotland also much better, no they
:03:22. > :03:25.cannot. There is a celebration tomorrow night because the nation's
:03:26. > :03:36.favourite football programme has reached a special landmark.
:03:37. > :03:43.HUMMING THE THEME TUNE. If you listen to that song the thing that
:03:44. > :03:47.comes immediately to you is match of the day. As soon as that came on you
:03:48. > :03:52.drop what you were doing, sat down in front of the TV. It is football,
:03:53. > :03:59.it is people, it is match of the day.
:04:00. > :04:06.Saturday night would not be the same without it. In Cardiff it is 4-0 to
:04:07. > :04:11.England in the World Cup qualifying match, England look to be heading to
:04:12. > :04:14.the World Cup next year. Wales, not over for them, they have a chance of
:04:15. > :04:19.qualifying for a play-off spot, but what they have to do in the
:04:20. > :04:22.second-half to be gained something? For the girls they need to take
:04:23. > :04:27.positives out of the game, they have 45 minutes to put a performance
:04:28. > :04:31.together. To be honest they will probably go down the route of
:04:32. > :04:34.defending deep and limiting England's chances. If they do that
:04:35. > :04:40.they can take positives from that going into the Ukraine game.
:04:41. > :04:45.Everything to play for irrelevant of tonight's results. It is keeping
:04:46. > :04:50.everyone in a positive frame of mind and looking forward to the next
:04:51. > :04:54.fixture. Let's head back to Lucy Ward and Jonathan Pearce, the
:04:55. > :05:00.commentators. COMMENTATOR: Wales to rat home with Ukraine, 1-1, back in
:05:01. > :05:05.April. They won that game, it would have been a good position to finish
:05:06. > :05:12.in the top four. No changes for either coach at half-time. Wales
:05:13. > :05:17.kicking from right to left. A chilly breeze in the Cardiff City Stadium.
:05:18. > :05:22.Blown away by the three England goals in the last six minutes of the
:05:23. > :05:26.first half. 26 of their goals from this campaign have come in the first
:05:27. > :05:30.half. The sixth time they have scored at least four in their nine
:05:31. > :05:38.qualifiers. They have totally dominated the group, they were
:05:39. > :05:44.expected to do so. They have done their job very well. Scott plays at
:05:45. > :06:08.Arsenal. Nobbs is at Arsenal. We just heard the panel talking
:06:09. > :06:11.about the difference between Aluko these days, what do you make of her
:06:12. > :06:14.improvement? She is learning the game, she has always had the raw
:06:15. > :06:19.pace and the ability to finish that game, she has always had the raw
:06:20. > :06:23.has put her in front of goal. She is learning her position, how to bring
:06:24. > :06:27.team-mates in, get herself in a position where she can score. It
:06:28. > :06:32.sounds silly to say, but as players get older they get that experience.
:06:33. > :06:38.Now she is at international level, scoring lots of goals. In
:06:39. > :06:54.Now she is at international level, history in the morning.

:07:30. > :07:34.defensive shape is OK. It is individual errors. England scored
:07:35. > :07:38.directly from them, you cannot do that at this level, especially in
:07:39. > :07:41.the last few minutes before half-time, it has killed the game

:09:21. > :09:30.International is. England did badly in them, of course.
:09:31. > :09:48.Got a Nicola Cousins. Did not look too
:09:49. > :09:51.comfortable in the air. England are ruthless at the moment, dominating,
:09:52. > :09:55.the momentum is with them, they are full of confidence. Difficult for
:09:56. > :10:01.Wales to keep them out and keep the scoreline at four. We are descending
:10:02. > :10:06.into the World Cup finals. Jordan Nobbs took it well enough. A decent
:10:07. > :10:11.effort. Credit must be given to Natasha Harding, who closed very
:10:12. > :10:16.quickly. It is great technique, great first touch. Through herself
:10:17. > :10:22.in front of it. Enough to put her off. Talk about midfielders like
:10:23. > :10:26.Jordan Nobbs, talk about how they affect the game, which penalty
:10:27. > :10:30.area? If they don't affect the game, which penalty
:10:31. > :10:34.attack, what do they do? If they are in the middle passing it around,
:10:35. > :10:38.they have two affect the penalty area, she has the ability to do
:10:39. > :10:42.both. To defend really well on the edge of her own box. Drawn towards
:10:43. > :11:17.the ball. Cousins plays for second division
:11:18. > :11:36.Yeovilton town. Former Cardiff player. They always seem to have a
:11:37. > :11:40.player in space, England. Good intensity about their game, good
:11:41. > :11:54.pace. Things Mark Sampson has worked on. In by Bleazard. Trying to find
:11:55. > :12:23.Sarah Wiltshire. Sanderson. Wales are going to make
:12:24. > :12:34.substitution here. It is going to be Carys Hawkins who comes on. And the
:12:35. > :12:39.record cap to Michelle Green. Wilkins 25-year-old, she plays her
:12:40. > :12:44.footballing Iceland. She has played in Europe in the summer, Australia
:12:45. > :12:48.in the winter. She has played in Sweden as well. Gone straight in at
:12:49. > :13:14.right back. Pushing Bleazard into the middle and Loren Dykes forward.
:13:15. > :13:21.That is what confidence does for you. England closing down. Wales
:13:22. > :13:37.can't get out of their half at the moment. Up by Stokes. You have to
:13:38. > :13:44.enjoy having the ball. England don't have to force anything now. Just
:13:45. > :13:47.keep it. Get on the edge of the box. Trying to get into positions
:13:48. > :13:53.where they can score, score more goals. It is all about Canada next
:13:54. > :13:59.year. Unless something dramatic happens, that is what going to leave
:14:00. > :14:04.macro is going to happen. They have to perform better than they did last
:14:05. > :14:25.summer. Williams has dropped in there at the centre circle. Out wide
:14:26. > :14:30.for Sanderson. James. Lost out. England 4-0 up. If you have just
:14:31. > :14:40.joined us. They only need another point to make sure qualifying for
:14:41. > :14:44.next year's cup final in Canada. Sarah Wiltshire has been lively.
:14:45. > :15:13.Passing. Scored England's third goal.
:15:14. > :15:24.Bleazard has been the best -- Wiltshire has been the best Welsh
:15:25. > :15:28.player. Goes out of play. She looks bright. She will definitely be
:15:29. > :15:40.happy. A real achievement for Mark Sampson, this. Five years at Bristol
:15:41. > :15:45.Academy. But Bristol to their highest ever finish in the super
:15:46. > :15:56.league, second. This is a chance for Demi Stokes. Aluko is there with
:15:57. > :16:06.her. Trying to spin it in. Came to Jordan Nobbs, tucked away by Heather
:16:07. > :16:11.Bleazard. A square pass from Fishlock. Expected the right back to
:16:12. > :16:23.run onto it. Again, you end up defending the corner. Hayley laddies
:16:24. > :16:30.out with an ankle injury. -- Hayley is out.
:16:31. > :16:42.Williams in the corner. Good goalkeeping to foil the England
:16:43. > :16:47.captain. She does really well for England. A real threat. Gets that
:16:48. > :16:55.header on target, gets herself in space. Davies is equal to it.
:16:56. > :17:04.Williams with a corner again. England playing short. Blocked,
:17:05. > :17:15.looked away by Loren Dykes. The pressure is still on. That is out of
:17:16. > :17:18.play, it will be a Welsh throw in. Wales about to make another change.
:17:19. > :18:40.They will bring an Nadia Lawrence. It is Loren Dykes who goes off, she
:18:41. > :18:53.will be replaced here by Nadia Lawrence. She plays in Iceland. Had
:18:54. > :19:09.a good season with them last season, they finished third. She moved at
:19:10. > :19:31.the behest of the Welsh coach, might in an. -- Yama
:19:32. > :19:43.that is given away, it is Wiltshire. And in the end she faces a save out
:19:44. > :19:47.of Bardsley. England got sloppy. Did really well there. I thought she had
:19:48. > :19:49.taken it too far, taken a touch too many. In the end it is a good
:19:50. > :19:55.strike. many. In the end it is a good
:19:56. > :19:55.is a tall keeper. Wales have to keep going. A mistake
:19:56. > :20:11.captain. England going to make a substitution. Taylor is going to
:20:12. > :20:22.come on for England. She is a footballer in the USA.
:20:23. > :20:29.come on for England. She is a month. Scored England's second goal.
:20:30. > :20:34.Typical of her. On comms Taylor, a latecomer to the England team, she's
:20:35. > :20:35.28 and has played most of the football abroad. 11 for Washington
:20:36. > :20:41.spirit. She could face football abroad. 11 for Washington
:20:42. > :20:47.the play-offs. She has been a good player for years, Taylor. She has
:20:48. > :20:52.not been in the England squad in years gone by because she has played
:20:53. > :20:53.not been in the England squad in out of the country. She was a top
:20:54. > :21:03.not been in the England squad in her time now. England need to build
:21:04. > :21:11.up an experienced squad to take to Canada. Jodie Taylor played at
:21:12. > :21:18.Tranmere. She is from Birkenhead. That is where I played years ago. I
:21:19. > :21:35.will do you a favour and not mention the year. All right! That is another
:21:36. > :21:41.sloppy mistake by Stokes is not can she go for goal from there? I bet
:21:42. > :21:47.Sarah Wiltshire has never had that much time in an international game
:21:48. > :21:51.before to score a goal, even against some of the lesser teams. England
:21:52. > :21:54.getting sloppy. This is the problem for Mark Sampson, you have to make
:21:55. > :22:06.sure you play every pass and are careful. Sarah Wiltshire deserves a
:22:07. > :22:11.goal, done really well. Next summer England, against the likes of
:22:12. > :22:19.Germany. Japan, USA will be there I am sure. Brazil. Two balls on the
:22:20. > :22:33.pitch at the moment. The referee told Bardsley to remove the first.
:22:34. > :22:36.Here is another one of the England players who has emerged this season
:22:37. > :22:45.will stop Francesca Kirby. 16 goals players who has emerged this season
:22:46. > :22:54.in 13 games for Reading in the second division. She has replaced
:22:55. > :22:59.Fara Williams. Players playing well in WSL will get their chance if they
:23:00. > :23:04.are good enough. Fran Kirby scored some goals this season. She is
:23:05. > :23:07.getting a chance and has done well at England level. I have not seen
:23:08. > :23:13.much of her but have seen some of the goals. That is an important
:23:14. > :23:20.message under the Mark Sampson rain. If you are in form you will get your
:23:21. > :23:25.chance. It is what should happen. Look at some of the players now,
:23:26. > :23:29.young players, they know they can get themselves in front of Mark
:23:30. > :23:34.Sampson and his staff, play well, they will get an opportunity. What a
:23:35. > :23:39.chance. The likes of Fran might not have been involved in this had he
:23:40. > :24:19.not been in charge. That is in England throw. Scott will take it.
:24:20. > :24:26.It is a corner kick for Wales, who are coming back into the game.
:24:27. > :24:35.England really defending at the moment. Difficult, 4-0 up, to retain
:24:36. > :24:39.drive and determination. There were enough players in the box, but not
:24:40. > :24:46.in the right area. A chance for them now. Bleazard with the corner. In
:24:47. > :24:52.the end Bardsley did very well because she was being boxed in
:24:53. > :25:03.tightly under physical pressure. She is still down. She is grimacing. I
:25:04. > :25:16.think she is complaining of being impeded there. Squashed between
:25:17. > :25:18.Anderson and Natasha Harding. She is a big enough keeper, strong enough
:25:19. > :25:40.to survive that. I think Jordan Nobbs is helped by
:25:41. > :25:45.the fact her dad played. She will have learned two grown up learning
:25:46. > :25:54.the game, talking with her dad, that really helps.
:25:55. > :26:09.Of the post! She has missed out on a goal, Jodie Taylor. Wales should
:26:10. > :26:16.have been punished. What a moment that would have been for her. On her
:26:17. > :26:19.competitive England debut. She will dream about that tonight. Did not
:26:20. > :26:24.have that much time to think about it. Tried to knock it past the
:26:25. > :26:37.keeper on the diagonal. She has scored all of those goals at
:26:38. > :27:24.club level in America this is in. Great strike by Karen Carney. Held
:27:25. > :27:28.her Rome, came down, took a little touch, tried to knock it passed. She
:27:29. > :27:33.should have scored, tried to knock it passed Davies instead of past
:27:34. > :27:35.her. She will be dreaming about that. Unless she scores another
:27:36. > :27:57.hat-trick. Scott is coming in for England for
:27:58. > :28:03.Karen Carney. She has been outstanding. In form. She has
:28:04. > :28:10.carried that form from the WSL into England. Inspired this win. I think
:28:11. > :28:14.it will be a win for England. Scott Dunlap keen not to start. She has
:28:15. > :28:21.been present in years gone by for England.
:28:22. > :28:28.It was Natasha Harding with the shot.
:28:29. > :28:33.'s got very popular in camp. Scored a goal against
:28:34. > :28:45.Montenegro at home in the qualifying campaign. 84 caps for England.
:28:46. > :28:55.4-0 up. England have lots of discipline, that is for certain, and
:28:56. > :29:01.some shape. I am sure Mark Sampson will forgive them that. He will not
:29:02. > :29:14.criticise them after a win like this.
:29:15. > :29:47.criticise them after a win like half. With those
:29:48. > :29:52.that we are worried, whether it is the full-back or one of the four

:30:53. > :31:26.back. the concentration of England at the
:31:27. > :31:32.Fishlock. Fishlock came in. They have done a load of work in the
:31:33. > :31:38.middle. Tonight Fishlock managed to get herself right on the end of that
:31:39. > :31:45.movement. A diving header but not in the right direction. Wales
:31:46. > :31:50.movement. A diving header but not in thought if they can still be
:31:51. > :31:55.competitive around the 80 minute mark they
:31:56. > :31:57.competitive around the 80 minute break but you
:31:58. > :32:04.competitive around the 80 minute it, the game has long been lost for
:32:05. > :32:09.them. They have had five clear-cut chances in the second half. They
:32:10. > :32:27.should be better at dealing with that bowl defensively than they have
:32:28. > :32:32.been in the first half. That ball. She was thinking about doing a
:32:33. > :32:42.scissor kick then. Just in two minds. She is all right. We have had
:32:43. > :32:45.something to cheer about on this wet evening in Cardiff,
:32:46. > :32:52.something to cheer about on this wet half. Some young fans there. Young
:32:53. > :33:06.girls in the crowd, it is great to see. A plan to get more women
:33:07. > :33:12.players for Wales. A long road ahead. Certainly they will get a
:33:13. > :33:17.massive boost if they can win in Ukraine and get one of those
:33:18. > :33:26.They could end up playing each They could end up playing each
:33:27. > :33:32.other. Certainly what we saw, they are on the ball now. Fishlock could
:33:33. > :33:53.be a key player, if she is good enough to score. The full focus now
:33:54. > :34:05.for Wales is getting that result. Down beyond Taylor. The floor. They
:34:06. > :34:16.have got it. -- through. I am not too sure at the assistant referee
:34:17. > :34:41.the new. Happier times. It looks like an appeal. Sanderson. High
:34:42. > :35:09.kick. Still working hard. Just through to the goalkeeper. Lowrance
:35:10. > :35:13.waving 17. Some of these players have to get into it. There are
:35:14. > :35:22.people who can qualify for the major competitions. In September 2012
:35:23. > :35:35.against Scotland it was only the second defeat. Now improving. That
:35:36. > :36:06.was enough to force the throw in. Scott was filled back by Jess
:36:07. > :36:13.Fishlock. -- pulled back. It has been important for England over
:36:14. > :36:19.2014. She is a strong, quick left-back. She has made that
:36:20. > :36:52.position her all over the last few games. Scott. Kirby. She has gone
:36:53. > :37:10.the wrong way round. Scott again. Scott, Jill Scott back to Alex
:37:11. > :37:22.Scott. That was caught late. All the way through. They are having a bit
:37:23. > :37:38.of play on the edge of the box. If that was on target it would have
:37:39. > :37:51.gone in. Fishlock with the turn. It is deflected. England lead 4-0, they
:37:52. > :37:55.could have had seven or eight. Fishlock just slept there and the
:37:56. > :38:15.ball went behind. That was good defending. The deal with the corner.
:38:16. > :38:23.England have another corner kick. The action on the near post. Now
:38:24. > :38:33.leaving the near post to go around the far post area. Sanderson in the
:38:34. > :38:41.middle. Five are in the box. Duggan again. Another ball in the year for
:38:42. > :38:49.England. Cleared away. Avoided a bit of trouble there, Wales. It is
:38:50. > :38:59.England. Cleared away. Avoided a bit cleared around there by the England
:39:00. > :39:07.players. Eventually given away. Just over ten minutes to go, England lead
:39:08. > :39:16.4-0. Jill Scott through to Sanderson. It has been stopped and
:39:17. > :39:26.into the left foot. It is getting. England are playing with confidence.
:39:27. > :39:39.Alex Scott has done interviews for the FA website. This is the hero of

:40:05. > :40:18.to Germany. Harding and Wiltshire has had opportunities.
:40:19. > :40:27.to Germany. Harding and Wiltshire eight. That has been the history of
:40:28. > :40:37.the meetings. Stalks. Wiltshire has a touch again. She is a great little
:40:38. > :40:42.player. Sarah Wiltshire has had the opportunities. She has been a bit
:40:43. > :40:51.isolated. When she has got it we see a little bit of glamour. In the last

:45:58. > :46:03.better team. There is Wide. She has grown into this game. Since she came
:46:04. > :46:35.on, she had a nervous start. We can see she drives the defenders.
:46:36. > :46:47.Herbie. -- Kirby. Wiltshire chasing. She was unlucky. She has been in
:46:48. > :47:03.everything, see the Wiltshire. -- Sarah Wiltshire. This girl plays at
:47:04. > :47:19.Watford. Her fourth game in this qualifying campaign. She was on
:47:20. > :47:27.against Scotland earlier this month. Won by Cousins. Scott, lovely
:47:28. > :47:44.header. Good communication as well. Wilson was hovering in behind.
:47:45. > :47:49.Sanderson. Back into the fold. It is an evolving England group. Disaster
:47:50. > :47:56.last year in the European Championship. Other players look at
:47:57. > :48:05.this and think they could get in as well before next summer so there is
:48:06. > :48:15.a fight for places. She has brought it back and done very well, the
:48:16. > :48:19.referee, from Greece. There was one shot in the first half we are
:48:20. > :48:35.England might have had a penalty. Fishlock. Against Ukraine they will
:48:36. > :48:51.have to be better than that. The Welsh coach. Calling time now. He
:48:52. > :48:54.cannot really help. But smaller countries in terms of women's
:48:55. > :49:11.football development, tighter budgets. Alex Scott has had another
:49:12. > :49:20.fine game for England. That ball bounces kindly and England can go
:49:21. > :49:47.on. In towards Jodie Taylor. Jill Scott. That will be another free
:49:48. > :49:53.kick. Caught by hopes. -- Hobbs. She got quite a reception when she came
:49:54. > :50:07.on, that Cardiff player. She is small but enthusiastic. A great
:50:08. > :50:16.first touch. Sanderson. Not too much to do. Lawrence to Wiltshire. Here
:50:17. > :50:23.is stalks. The problem here is for Hawkins. Taylor committed herself.
:50:24. > :50:46.She is speeding forward. Here is Sanderson. To Kirby. Two minutes of
:50:47. > :50:54.added time. After that it is over. This player is 21, she started
:50:55. > :51:12.running when she was eight will stop she will arrange to leave if she has

:52:28. > :52:38.Welsh coach. Three goals in six minutes for Aluko, Bassett and
:52:39. > :52:45.Sanderson. Very well done for England. Very professional. They are
:52:46. > :53:02.through to Canada 2015. England women are in the fourth World Cup
:53:03. > :53:06.finals. Well done. Congratulations to England, to Mark Sampson, the
:53:07. > :53:14.backroom staff as well for qualifying for the England World Cup
:53:15. > :53:22.next summer. Only the group winners go through to the finals, the top
:53:23. > :53:27.the group. Wales go to Ukraine on September 17 and really need to when
:53:28. > :53:32.there to get themselves a chance of going through to the play-off
:53:33. > :53:37.matches. They are through to the third World Cup in a law, what do
:53:38. > :53:43.you make of it? A very professional performance. To only concede one
:53:44. > :53:48.goal and when all your matches, you have got to be very pleased. Judy
:53:49. > :53:54.showed the gulf between England and Wales. Wales just lacked that little
:53:55. > :54:04.bit of sharpness, being able to react quickly. Fitness and strength.
:54:05. > :54:12.They could not deny England the chances. Generally well-organised in
:54:13. > :54:17.over a play but in the set pieces... Four goals all coming in the first
:54:18. > :54:33.half. The first goal coming 16 minutes into the game. Just that run
:54:34. > :54:38.takes the attention of the keeper. It was poor defending by Wales but a
:54:39. > :54:43.fantastic finish. Again here and there is no one in the Wales team
:54:44. > :54:48.attacking the ball. Laura Bassett scores that one. This is the best
:54:49. > :54:54.goal for England, the cross from Alex Scott and the header. Gets in
:54:55. > :55:02.that space. The defender does not come around. She is very mobile and
:55:03. > :55:07.likes to link up play but also shows how clinical she is. I remember
:55:08. > :55:14.playing at Arsenal with her and she would score a times out of ten
:55:15. > :55:22.because she is so good in the box. Let's listen to Mark Sampson who is
:55:23. > :55:26.down on the pitch with our reporter. It is a special moment for the
:55:27. > :55:32.group. We wanted to come here and do the job. We thought we were
:55:33. > :55:37.outstanding. There were loads of good play and performance. I am
:55:38. > :55:42.really pleased for the team and the staff to be involved for Canada.
:55:43. > :55:49.What are you going to be doing for the next ten months? Keep going as
:55:50. > :56:01.we are. We have a long way to go, we have to keep that mentality. She is
:56:02. > :56:05.one happy Welshman. You are a fairly unhappy Welsh women. But your site
:56:06. > :56:16.still had the chance to qualify for the World Cup. Fear Welcher, could
:56:17. > :56:21.she have done better perhaps? I am proud of the second-half but
:56:22. > :56:27.disappointed with the result overall. We had chances but it is a
:56:28. > :56:31.pity we could not finish them and get on the scoresheet tonight. See
:56:32. > :56:37.the Wiltshire is always going to be a danger because of hard pace. On
:56:38. > :56:41.this chance year I wish she had been more direct and taken that chance
:56:42. > :56:52.earlier before England regrouped behind the ball. One thing Mark
:56:53. > :56:57.Sampson will not be happy with it having a lot of possession but not
:56:58. > :57:01.being switched on. There were errors from England and add better level
:57:02. > :57:08.you will get punished. You cannot afford to make those efforts --
:57:09. > :57:12.letters. They could not get numbers in attack to supports either and
:57:13. > :57:19.Harding for most of the game unfortunately. Thank you. Now hit
:57:20. > :57:23.the red button for more interviews and analysis from Cardiff we are

:57:30. > :57:53.finals. Goodbye for now. Canada awaits.
:57:54. > :58:03.All be we are in! What a finish. England have a third, beautiful
