Euro 2017 Qualifier: England v Belgium

:00:25. > :00:47.Goes for gold, after the bar. Great volley, Aluko. A goal.

:00:48. > :00:54.This England team certainly get around the globe. Last summer, it

:00:55. > :01:03.was Canada, Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver. Last summer it was the

:01:04. > :01:13.deep South in the US, Tennessee. Now we are in Rotherham.

:01:14. > :01:20.England have arrived in South Yorkshire for the third Euro 2017

:01:21. > :01:25.qualifiers. The aim is to reach the finals in the Netherlands next

:01:26. > :01:31.number. They have won both matches so far, in Estonia, and are home to

:01:32. > :01:36.Bosnia, by a single goal. Their opponents tonight are Belgium,

:01:37. > :01:43.unbeaten so far, neighbours of the hosts. With me are two former

:01:44. > :01:54.England players. One specialised in scoring goals, Kelly Smith got 46

:01:55. > :02:00.for the National side. Rachel Brown-Phillips was goalkeeper faded

:02:01. > :02:05.to matches. How tough it is -- is a game to be? Belgium are good

:02:06. > :02:09.counterattacking side, they're organised and will raise their

:02:10. > :02:14.level. If England can be creative, get the ball down, I expect a

:02:15. > :02:20.comfortable win. We saw Bosnia put ten across the back last time, what

:02:21. > :02:23.can we expect from Belgian? Different approach from Belgium.

:02:24. > :02:27.They have nothing to lose. They need to go out there and win the game.

:02:28. > :02:31.They will be looking to counterattack, cause problems for

:02:32. > :02:35.England. They won't thank up with ten players, they will be organised.

:02:36. > :02:40.Out of possession, they will get players back behind the ball, they

:02:41. > :02:45.will be hard to break down. They will leave themselves options to

:02:46. > :02:49.create England problems up front. This is a chance for England to go

:02:50. > :02:54.top of the group tonight? Definitely, they have the players,

:02:55. > :02:58.Mark Sampson has put Jill Scott up front, normally midfield,

:02:59. > :03:04.interesting to see how she does. It will be difficult, they may bank up

:03:05. > :03:07.a little bit. I expect more of an attacking threat than Bosnia. Bosnia

:03:08. > :03:25.put 11 players behind the ball, Belgium need to put players up

:03:26. > :03:29.front. They have some good players. Tessa Wullaert place for Wolfsburg.

:03:30. > :03:45.Taylor, a bit of a handball. That seems to bounce up and hit on the

:03:46. > :03:51.arm. Toni Duggan is in hair, big chance come and gone. Shoots,

:03:52. > :03:56.scores. England are behind. Our road into the top corner. It is an

:03:57. > :04:09.opening defeat for England in the USA. -- arrowed. Great header, in

:04:10. > :04:20.the lead. Toni Duggan, what a start for England. Deflected, and in. They

:04:21. > :04:28.do get the equaliser. Bardsley beaten by a big deflection, Germany

:04:29. > :04:33.back level. Not a penalty. Spot kick, Fara Williams. Krul on

:04:34. > :04:35.England. Germany take the lead. Ultimately disappointing for

:04:36. > :04:48.England, really hard to take. England cannot get the ball away.

:04:49. > :04:56.Wonderful effort. Scott, looking to turn. Looking towards the referee. I

:04:57. > :05:06.think that is a penalty. Scott goes the goal -- for goal, not far-away.

:05:07. > :05:11.The way for a victory against the French goes on, but England's first

:05:12. > :05:17.point. Two defeats, one draw against the well's top three, USA, Germany

:05:18. > :05:23.and France. How would you rate England's performances? Performances

:05:24. > :05:33.were generally good. What England will take and learn from the She

:05:34. > :05:42.Believes Cup, is the difference from being good and very good. Very fine

:05:43. > :05:46.margins, Germany, the US scoring their chances. Good opportunity to

:05:47. > :05:50.play those teams, glad it will be repeated in the next three years to

:05:51. > :05:55.come. Winning games is a good habit to get into? Disappointing they did

:05:56. > :06:01.not pick up a win. They happily take heart from the performances they put

:06:02. > :06:05.in. Very small margins, losing by one goal on two occasions. They can

:06:06. > :06:10.take great pride from that, now it is about putting a performance in

:06:11. > :06:15.today, picking up three points. These are teams they can beat.

:06:16. > :06:20.England have beaten Germany? They are expected to be Germany. Could

:06:21. > :06:25.not have been a better running ahead of these qualifying matches, to play

:06:26. > :06:31.Germany, USA and France will stop let's hear from the England manager.

:06:32. > :06:35.This is the third qualifier of the campaign, talk me through the

:06:36. > :06:40.starting XI. Only one change from the French game. Please with our

:06:41. > :06:44.performance against France. Again we deserved to win. All the players who

:06:45. > :06:58.played that well that night, the only change is enforced. Greenwood

:06:59. > :07:03.coming in to replace Raf. We will keep the system we played in

:07:04. > :07:11.America, 4-4-2. Why players coming in. Alex Scott at the back. Steph at

:07:12. > :07:19.centre-back. Greenwood coming in at left-back. Jordan Hobbs controlling

:07:20. > :07:30.in front of the back four. Fara Williams, and Demi coming inside. We

:07:31. > :07:34.normally see Jill Scott play in centre midfield, starting up front?

:07:35. > :07:38.She is doing so well at club level, playing as an attacking player, to

:07:39. > :07:46.fit into our system, the best place to show her qualities. We will see a

:07:47. > :07:49.lot of movement between the four, we will see her pop in between the

:07:50. > :07:55.lines, hopefully getting herself a goal. Best of luck for tonight.

:07:56. > :08:01.Confirmation of the team Mark Sampson has selected. Alex Scott,

:08:02. > :08:13.fresh from her reality TV success at right back. No place for Lucy Bronze

:08:14. > :08:18.or Laura Bassett. Sue Smith caught up with England's towering presence,

:08:19. > :08:28.Jill Scott? Let's talk about how you think? You play against teams he

:08:29. > :08:33.parked the bus. Against Bosnia, when we played them, they did that. Now

:08:34. > :08:37.we are performing well, like the World Cup, a lot of teams will do

:08:38. > :08:45.that. An example of that is when I came on, managing to head one in,

:08:46. > :08:49.off my nose. They all count. How frustrating is it, playing against

:08:50. > :08:56.teams like that? Really frustrating. A lot of people think it should be

:08:57. > :09:02.six, 7-0. When teams bank up, you have to break them down. They kept

:09:03. > :09:09.going. You are the secret weapon, not so secret, we cannot hide you.

:09:10. > :09:13.Something you work on in training? Not really. I should get more goals

:09:14. > :09:19.with my head, for my height. We spoke about it when I was younger,

:09:20. > :09:25.when you at all, they say get in the box. You don't get coached on

:09:26. > :09:28.heading the ball. Me being a secret weapon, in terms of I can attract

:09:29. > :09:35.the taller players to mark me, the smaller players can edit in. In

:09:36. > :09:40.Canada there was a Lucy Bronze free kick, you have your own set piece

:09:41. > :09:44.named after you? Not important enough to have that, giving away our

:09:45. > :09:56.secret! Maybe I will make it up myself. I will create one. Looking

:09:57. > :10:02.back to the She Believes Cup, how did it go? Disappointing we did not

:10:03. > :10:10.win, two defeats in the draw, but how -- our performance, we competed

:10:11. > :10:18.with the best teams in the world, but did not take our chances.

:10:19. > :10:23.Something you have been working on? Under Mark, we have been tough to

:10:24. > :10:27.beat. Defensive record is good. We need to add more goals, against the

:10:28. > :10:32.top teams you will not create that many chances. Germany and America

:10:33. > :10:36.did not create many against us, that they were clinical and finish them.

:10:37. > :10:43.That is the next part for us as a group. Tough to beat, but we have to

:10:44. > :10:48.be more clinical in front of goal. Jill Scott in that advanced role.

:10:49. > :10:51.What do you make of that? They use the same formation against France

:10:52. > :10:57.and Germany. Interesting to see how it goes against Belgium. She brings

:10:58. > :11:01.the option to play the ball in behind the backline, she is an

:11:02. > :11:14.aerial presence. Hopefully Toni Duggan can work off her. Two girls

:11:15. > :11:21.in her last -- two goals in their last five games, is that a concern?

:11:22. > :11:25.Jill Scott is the key in this game, stretching the backline, she will

:11:26. > :11:35.make the runs that will make the Belgian defence dropped, and

:11:36. > :11:48.hopefully Toni Duggan in the box, and Jordan can get in the box.

:11:49. > :11:54.Having seen the impact of the World Cup and women's game, they will be

:11:55. > :11:58.determined to make the most of the opportunity. The European

:11:59. > :12:04.Championships just around the corner. What should their approach

:12:05. > :12:09.the? Get the ball down, comfortable in possession. Get Jordan Hobbs on

:12:10. > :12:15.the ball as much as possible. Toni Duggan so good in the hole,

:12:16. > :12:19.dribbling at the backline, be comfortable in possession, keep the

:12:20. > :12:24.ball, be chemical in the final third. They lacked patients in the

:12:25. > :12:28.Bosnia game, hopefully they can learn from that experience, play the

:12:29. > :12:33.ball around, comfortable, take their chances. The Belgian team aiming to

:12:34. > :12:36.reach their first major tournament. They have the extra incentive of it

:12:37. > :12:41.taking place in a neighbouring country. They are also representing

:12:42. > :12:52.a nation reeling from last month's terrorist attacks in Brussels. Hello

:12:53. > :12:58.my name is Janice Cayman, I'm 24 years old, the forward. I am 23

:12:59. > :13:07.years old, Tessa Wullaert, I am playing. -- I play for Wolfsburg. It

:13:08. > :13:12.was a sad thing, to be a human being at that time. I think we can play

:13:13. > :13:22.tribute by winning the game. Against Bosnia it was good. We had good

:13:23. > :13:27.results. Bad against Serbia, 1-1. We could have won that game we played

:13:28. > :13:32.it ten times. We are well prepared, I think we can get something. We

:13:33. > :13:36.know this game will be a big game. We will be ready for it. We will

:13:37. > :13:44.give it our all see what the result will be. I know there are some

:13:45. > :13:48.players in England who played for Chelsea, Wolfsburg played against

:13:49. > :13:52.Chelsea, they had a good attack, we have a good defence, we will see

:13:53. > :13:56.what it brings. It would be great to qualify, it will be the first time,

:13:57. > :14:00.Holland is just around the corner, good for the fans. First

:14:01. > :14:05.qualification ever for us. We don't think about that right now, just

:14:06. > :14:11.telling game per game. Doing as good as possible. I think we have a good

:14:12. > :14:19.chance to qualify. Close to Belgian, perfect for family and friends. All

:14:20. > :14:23.the fans to come and see us. Where are the threats from Belgium

:14:24. > :14:31.tonight? We saw them in the VC. Tessa Wullaert, one of the top

:14:32. > :14:35.goal-scorers. Playing in a prolific league, for Wolfsburg, in the

:14:36. > :14:37.Champions League. She has been highlighted by being in team ahead

:14:38. > :14:44.of the game. She could cause a problem. Maybe on the counterattack.

:14:45. > :14:50.Big incentive to qualify, they have never qualified for a major

:14:51. > :14:53.tournament? They had come off the back of two big wins against Russia

:14:54. > :15:00.and Denmark, teams rank higher than them. They will believe they can get

:15:01. > :15:03.three points. You have to come to England and believe that. They have

:15:04. > :15:09.dropped two points against Serbia, they have to come and attack this

:15:10. > :15:19.England side. They're the point to prove. Beating higher ranked teams,

:15:20. > :15:24.they want to go to the Euros. At St Mirren Park, Scotland are playing,

:15:25. > :15:28.we will bring you action from that match at half-time. About to get

:15:29. > :15:35.under way at Rotherham. Let's hear the final thoughts of three of the

:15:36. > :15:40.Lionesses. Massive test for us, but we want to put on a show for the

:15:41. > :15:46.fans watching. We have two or three players very good, which can cause

:15:47. > :15:51.problems. A tight contest. Probably the best game will face, the

:15:52. > :15:52.toughest game. We want to qualify for the Euros in the best way

:15:53. > :16:01.possible. England face their toughest

:16:02. > :16:06.opponents in this qualifying campaign. Can they take a further

:16:07. > :16:14.step to next year's finals by beating Belgium? Your commentators,

:16:15. > :16:20.C Smith, alongside Jonathan Pearce. -- Suze Smith.

:16:21. > :16:25.England believe this will be their most competitive game in qualifying

:16:26. > :16:35.for two years. The England team breezed through World Cup

:16:36. > :16:42.qualifying, five from five. Bosnia showed that this campaign will be a

:16:43. > :16:49.lot tougher. Belgium beat them 6-0 at home, 5-0 away. Mark Sampson says

:16:50. > :16:53.there is more pressure on the fourth ranked side in the world, than there

:16:54. > :17:05.was in the World Cup. There was no expectations. Now the 9000 plus

:17:06. > :17:09.crowd at this modern, tight New York Stadium Stadium will expect nothing

:17:10. > :17:16.short of victory. Belgium are never qualified for any major finals, and

:17:17. > :17:21.if England are at their best, and start well, they should win, Sue?

:17:22. > :17:26.Yes, they have been getting better in the last few years. They will not

:17:27. > :17:31.be a pushover. Looking at the rankings, 28, you think they will

:17:32. > :17:38.not be very good, but they will be hard, quick, a lot of pace. If

:17:39. > :17:44.England play how they can, no reason why they cannot win tonight. Great

:17:45. > :17:53.to see so many youngsters, 22,000 girls have registered to take part

:17:54. > :17:56.in the FA Girls football league. Encouraging primary and secondary

:17:57. > :18:04.schools, community groups. If you want to get involved, contact your

:18:05. > :18:11.local club or can TFA. Very important for the development in

:18:12. > :18:20.this football. -- your county FA. A pause for the anthems. The Belgian

:18:21. > :18:27.anthem will be sung by real emotional players.

:18:28. > :18:39.A shot of the captain Aline Zeler, playing in an unusual position

:18:40. > :18:43.tonight, I will tell you more about that in a moment. A couple of

:18:44. > :18:54.special presentations for two of the England team. We can see the

:18:55. > :19:03.chairman of the FA Women's game. Fara Williams, passing 100 caps.

:19:04. > :19:14.Made a debut back in 2001, played in seven tournaments, extraordinary

:19:15. > :19:21.player. Aluko also a special landmark she passed back in the

:19:22. > :19:31.World Cup. Kelly Simmons down there as well. Alongside Mark Sampson his

:19:32. > :20:26.assistant, 91 caps for England herself.

:20:27. > :20:38.# O dierbaar Belgie, O heilig land der Vad'ren

:20:39. > :21:33.Smile on the face of Toni Duggan, real live wire in the England camp.

:21:34. > :21:40.Terrific atmosphere in a stadium that holds 12,000. They sold 9000

:21:41. > :21:47.tickets yesterday, expecting another 1000 to walk up today. England with

:21:48. > :22:02.the one change from the 0-0 draw with France. Greenwood coming in.

:22:03. > :22:17.Fara Williams up to 152 cats. They lined up on paper with 4-4-2. Mark

:22:18. > :22:24.Sampson told me he wants that to change with the wingers joining the

:22:25. > :22:29.attack. Belgium finished second in the Algarve Cup. Canada beating

:22:30. > :22:38.them. Janice Cayman was the top scorer. 13 players to play outside

:22:39. > :22:46.Belgium. Playing in France. Tessa Wullaert plays for Wolfsburg, 26

:22:47. > :22:55.goals from 41 internationals. Aline Zeler has 1-macro goal fewer than

:22:56. > :23:02.her, but she will play at the back. They usual defender plays left

:23:03. > :23:06.midfield. That is a riddle. Justien Odeurs, young goalkeeper, biggest

:23:07. > :23:11.game of her career, for certain. Jill Scott playing up front, as we

:23:12. > :23:15.saw in America. Different position, I think it will work. Herself and

:23:16. > :23:20.Toni Duggan both played for Manchester City, they link up well.

:23:21. > :23:25.If we can get crosses in, she will be dangerous in there. Both teams

:23:26. > :23:32.line up for one minute's silence to mark the atrocities in Belgium on

:23:33. > :23:58.the 22nd of March. Leaving 35 dead, and more than 300 injured.

:23:59. > :24:07.As the teams now gather around the centre circle, we ask you will to

:24:08. > :24:45.pay your respects when the referee blows his whistle.

:24:46. > :24:58.APPLAUSE . Gyongyi Gaal blows the whistle.

:24:59. > :25:02.The more positional changes. Is this a night for them to explore? England

:25:03. > :25:08.away. You cannot imagine it would be. Their toughest test, I wonder if

:25:09. > :25:12.they will go more defensive, against the other teams they have actually

:25:13. > :25:16.taken the game to them. England, fourth in the world, very

:25:17. > :25:20.experienced team, shall we just sit back, I hope not, I hope they go and

:25:21. > :25:24.what they are good at, I hope this show tonight and it would be quite

:25:25. > :25:28.an even game of that is the case. Splendid record for England at the

:25:29. > :26:04.bottom of your screen. Belgium in the sky-blue. Getting is

:26:05. > :26:12.underway. Houghton gets it away. Deloose, the Anderlecht player. The

:26:13. > :26:24.Championship play-offs in Belgium. They were in the league with Dutch

:26:25. > :26:45.teams last season, that league has folded. They did push, off-site.

:26:46. > :26:51.Janice Cayman pinpointed, tall, athletic, they think she can command

:26:52. > :26:55.midfield. She is a key player, can get forward. She was the one trying

:26:56. > :26:59.to get forward, supporting the forward players. She will be

:27:00. > :27:06.dangerous, somebody they have highlighted. We know the danger of

:27:07. > :27:16.Jill Scott, that is certain. Stokes on the left-hand side for England.

:27:17. > :27:24.Such a long run in the side, playing 1215 games in the build-up to World

:27:25. > :27:29.Cup 2015, then dropping out of the party, only to be a regular this

:27:30. > :27:32.season. All credit to her attitude, playing so well at club level,

:27:33. > :27:45.battling away, getting herself back in. Starting to play on a regular

:27:46. > :27:48.basis. Plays a Manchester City, after being at Florida University

:27:49. > :28:04.for a while. Belgian beating Bosnia at home 6-0,

:28:05. > :28:13.and away 5-0. We thought Sara Yuceil might start, been in good form at

:28:14. > :28:31.club level. Bit of concern over Casey Stoney, MBE. The Super League

:28:32. > :28:36.in England and the way of course. Aline Zeler, the first time she has

:28:37. > :28:41.played at the back for her country, very much a forward or support for

:28:42. > :28:51.with that Standard Liege. Winning the championship this season, before

:28:52. > :28:58.it moved into the play-off stages. The top sides coming together to

:28:59. > :29:06.play in a play-off. Stoney, 127 games for England. Always looks to

:29:07. > :29:16.me as if she wants to make for lost time, Steph Houghton, me sing --

:29:17. > :29:21.missing World Cup 2007 with a broken leg, the Euros in 2009. Coming

:29:22. > :29:26.through so powerfully in the last few years. This awful injuries,

:29:27. > :29:34.broken leg, ACL, coming back stronger and fitter. Now England

:29:35. > :29:37.captain, excellent for. Named by Uefa as a football development

:29:38. > :29:50.ambassador last week. Jill Scott, round the corner.

:29:51. > :30:02.Helen Jaques first for her country, trying to qualify for the European

:30:03. > :30:17.Championships in 2017. Jordan Norwood 's. Alex God will be

:30:18. > :30:20.delighted to be back. Out comes the young goalkeeper and I thought

:30:21. > :30:31.England would test her, only her 13th game for Belgium, he is only

:30:32. > :30:39.18, Odeurs. Whipped in ball from Alex Scott, he is great in the air.

:30:40. > :30:43.With her height and presence he will make it happen. The tallest player

:30:44. > :31:07.out there at five. The Wullaert, the danger. Shot but was

:31:08. > :31:15.always rising from Biesmans from Standard Liege. This is where Alex

:31:16. > :31:19.got just what is the ball in and he comes out, not very commanding, Jill

:31:20. > :31:27.Scott challenging her, just drops the ball. Just manage to clear it.

:31:28. > :31:35.Part of a double-header for both countries, of course. England go out

:31:36. > :31:45.to Serbia... To Bosnia and hence a governor, they play on Tuesday. They

:31:46. > :31:50.have Serbia at home and would commander is's ground on Saturday

:31:51. > :31:59.fourth June. Tickets available for that game. As someone who has

:32:00. > :32:06.travelled the globe for 30 years, I can tell you it is a real uplifting

:32:07. > :32:11.experience to be involved in the development of the women's game at

:32:12. > :32:18.the moment. Get along there if you can in the south-east. A lot of you

:32:19. > :32:30.went out to Canada and will be in the house watching on.

:32:31. > :32:38.Bronze had such a major role in the World Cup finals. Must be so

:32:39. > :32:44.difficult for Mark Sampson because he has two very good full-backs in

:32:45. > :32:50.Alex Scott and Lucy Bronze and it is luxury to have that competition for

:32:51. > :33:03.places. Stokes getting in the field, that is what Mark Sampson wanted.

:33:04. > :33:11.Nobbs. Chapman seems to get better and better as the years roll on.

:33:12. > :33:21.Competitive. Normally a neat and tidy passer, not there. Stokes

:33:22. > :33:28.closed in. Taking it from Cayman. Reach the Champions League

:33:29. > :33:34.semifinals with her club side. There is pedigree in this Belgian side.

:33:35. > :33:47.Another view of the ball for Karen Bardsley.

:33:48. > :34:12.In the cup they were beaten by Iceland.

:34:13. > :34:21.It is going to be an awkward night for England, fourth in the world and

:34:22. > :34:33.these are opponents they should be beating. Belgium are a team high on

:34:34. > :34:36.confidence. They are a country getting better, they are beating

:34:37. > :34:45.teams higher ranked them themselves. Four cycle between Euros, since

:34:46. > :34:59.you'll 2013, they have won 26 and scored almost a hundred goals. --

:35:00. > :35:06.since Euro 2013. The 29-year-old, Coutereels, normally a centre-back.

:35:07. > :35:11.We were talking about the line-up and the formation, we thought that

:35:12. > :35:15.Demi Stokes would stay out wide and Fara Williams would get into

:35:16. > :35:20.support, Mark Sampson wants them both two but Stokes getting more

:35:21. > :35:26.involved. Have been impressed with how Stokes and Williams have come in

:35:27. > :35:36.midfield and they have got the width from Alex. It is about picking the

:35:37. > :35:41.right pass. Tending to force it on but because Belgium are dropping

:35:42. > :35:46.deeper. He has a manager who changes his tactics, varies them with the

:35:47. > :35:50.coaching staff, he is not frightened to change things around. Bring

:35:51. > :35:59.players in, leave them out if he thinks they her physically dipped.

:36:00. > :36:09.Ives Serneels, he was part of the Lee S said managed by Eric Garrett

:36:10. > :36:20.is that won the league and cup in the 90s.

:36:21. > :36:33.The movement is very good. Finding their feet little bit. Houghton

:36:34. > :37:04.fouled. Free kick against De Caigny. The free kick for

:37:05. > :37:10.the foul by Jill Scott. It is a push in the back. If she comes indeed,

:37:11. > :37:19.that is where you need it, Toni Duggan Williams on one said. You get

:37:20. > :37:24.people running in behind. Belgium play Estonia next week, Estonia

:37:25. > :37:31.bottom of the table, Belgium on top. Williams cuts it away. Unmarked,

:37:32. > :37:37.Toni Duggan, goes for gold. That rankles

:37:38. > :37:44.this was really clever play from Fara Williams and Toni Duggan,

:37:45. > :37:53.completely on the same page. She is unlucky, cuts inside and going for

:37:54. > :38:02.the top corner. She could rapper foot round a bit more. Unlucky.

:38:03. > :38:08.Really good preparation for this game to play the world yet in best

:38:09. > :38:28.in the USA, Germany and France. Clever football from England. Just

:38:29. > :38:31.too far ahead of Fara Williams. Her first game in qualifying for this

:38:32. > :38:40.competition, she has been in seven tournaments in the past. The highest

:38:41. > :38:58.capped England footballer in the men's on women's game. De Caigny.

:38:59. > :39:00.Wullaert dropping very deep. Odeurs has come through to replace the

:39:01. > :39:08.usual number one this season. Alex got for Jill Scott and that

:39:09. > :39:25.will be an England corner. Pushed out by Helen Jaques. England

:39:26. > :39:31.look for the height of Jill Scott. Working very hard, as all teams do,

:39:32. > :39:34.on set pieces this week. The goalkeeping coach has been more than

:39:35. > :39:46.that in the setup, working very strongly with the players.

:39:47. > :39:56.Swung in towards the young goalkeeper. Jill Scott juggling it

:39:57. > :40:00.up. The keeper just got back. I thought that was in, what a great

:40:01. > :40:04.ball in, when it is whipped in like that, you just need a touch. Stoney

:40:05. > :40:10.was close to that and the goalkeeper did well in the end, but initially

:40:11. > :40:16.she flapped at it. Need to keep testing her. She played less than 50

:40:17. > :40:25.first-class games at club level. The goalkeeper. You could see when she

:40:26. > :40:32.came out for that, she wasn't very convincing. If you look at the

:40:33. > :40:39.amount of camps between the England side, vastly experienced. England

:40:40. > :40:48.have a corner. It has actually gone for a throw.

:40:49. > :41:29.That was strange. To take really, for that. Played the

:41:30. > :41:34.last five for England. The World Cup was wrecked by injury. This is the

:41:35. > :41:38.corner, not very commanding when she comes out. Not tall enough for the

:41:39. > :41:44.goalkeeper, did well in the end to claim it, but I think they have to

:41:45. > :41:49.try to keep putting pressure on her. Three clean sheets in her last four

:41:50. > :41:55.games. Two of those were against Bosnia.

:41:56. > :42:20.Good turn. Foul on Jordan Norwood 's -- Jordan Nobbs.

:42:21. > :42:37.On by Coutereels. Nice little touch by the alert -- Wullaert. England

:42:38. > :42:45.throw. Record scorer for Belgian women. Cilic like a very good

:42:46. > :42:49.player, lovely bit of skill. First ever defeat for Belgium in the

:42:50. > :42:59.women's game was against England, the first international was against

:43:00. > :43:11.France in 1976. That is a mistake. Belgium are ahead! Cayman. Horrible

:43:12. > :43:15.moment for the England goalkeeper. Complete lapse in concentration,

:43:16. > :43:19.complete mistake, Bardsley will be devastated. But to see how she

:43:20. > :43:27.reacts to that. I know she is mentally very strong. That is a

:43:28. > :43:34.shock. The first home qualifier goal conceded by England in 13 years.

:43:35. > :43:38.Just a long ball and Casey Stoney is expecting Bardsley to come out and

:43:39. > :43:44.clear it. She comes out, just completely missed kicks it, like she

:43:45. > :43:49.takes her eye off the ball and straightaway, Janice Cayman is in

:43:50. > :43:54.there, just gambles on it. Complete mis-kick, she goes with her right

:43:55. > :44:02.foot. Being right footed, but cannot get any sort of connection on it.

:44:03. > :44:05.Horror moment for England. They have come straight back and forced a

:44:06. > :44:09.corner. She was one of the best goalkeepers in the World Cup finals

:44:10. > :44:16.last summer and it seems a long time ago now. For the Manchester City

:44:17. > :44:26.player. First horrible moment for a Manchester City player this week. In

:44:27. > :44:32.comes the corner and outcomes a confident Odeurs. She claimed that

:44:33. > :44:44.very well. Decent player in his time. Coached Lierse and a women is

:44:45. > :44:51.signed their to a couple of Belgian cup finals. -- the women's side.

:44:52. > :44:59.Before taking the Belgian national job.

:45:00. > :45:17.One of the longest runs in football in the men or women's game comes to

:45:18. > :45:26.an end. The next ten minutes are absolutely crucial.

:45:27. > :45:34.That as a corner as well. The eight group winners and the six best

:45:35. > :45:47.runners-up advanced to the final tournament in the Netherlands in

:45:48. > :45:54.July 20 17. 21 is up -- two runners-up go to a play-off.

:45:55. > :46:01.Difficult corner to deal with. Bardsley comes out and punches this

:46:02. > :46:14.time. Back out to the loose. -- Deloose. Quick feet from Wullaert.

:46:15. > :46:23.Good player, technically very good, makes good runs. Good goalkeeping

:46:24. > :46:33.from Karen Bardsley. She won the Belgian cup with Anderlecht.

:46:34. > :46:38.Wolfsburg saw the potential and she is benefiting from going full-time

:46:39. > :46:45.professional. It mirrors the state of the English women's game,. I

:46:46. > :46:51.think there are four players that are full-time and that show the

:46:52. > :46:54.difference when you are playing on a regular basis and training on a

:46:55. > :46:58.regular basis, you are going to be much fitter and technically better

:46:59. > :47:04.and you can see that Belgium are still a few years behind the English

:47:05. > :47:10.game and the English league. But leading this 1-0 and England have

:47:11. > :47:17.work to do. Alex Greenwood immediately there on Janice Cayman.

:47:18. > :47:21.Has played almost 100 games in French football. One of those

:47:22. > :47:38.professionals we were talking about. 13th goal for her country, four in

:47:39. > :47:54.four in the Algarve Cup to top score in that. Jill Scott has been

:47:55. > :48:04.England's best player so far. Has scored in both of England's games so

:48:05. > :48:13.far, in the victory at Ashton Gate. Ambushes. -- ambitious. Have to get

:48:14. > :48:18.back to doing the simple things. Belgium are making it hard for

:48:19. > :48:21.England, closing them down, stopping spaced and cannot find the players,

:48:22. > :48:25.they like to play the short intricate passes and Belgium are not

:48:26. > :48:29.a loving England to do that, and when they go forward, they go

:48:30. > :48:37.forward at pace. Away by Steph Houghton.

:48:38. > :48:59.Away by Alex Scott. The three goals England have conceded in their last

:49:00. > :49:10.six going into this, just three goals scored in their last seven. It

:49:11. > :49:17.has been tight. Away to Jill Scott. Alex Goode, another Saint Julien,

:49:18. > :49:26.131 for her, has only missed eight since it Euro 2013. Got through to

:49:27. > :49:36.the FA Cup semifinals with Sunderland. Building momentum to the

:49:37. > :49:49.final in May. Every team wants to play at Wembley. The semifinals up

:49:50. > :49:50.and coming. Keeps that momentum going. Building the excitement for

:49:51. > :50:15.the final day. Fara Williams. Very competitive player, definitely

:50:16. > :50:18.a foul. I've been really impressed with her, not just ability on the

:50:19. > :50:24.ball but what great off the ball has been very good. 16 years ago England

:50:25. > :50:30.lost a European qualifier, the last time before tonight. In June 2000

:50:31. > :50:42.they lost 8-0 against Norway. How things have changed. Good challenge

:50:43. > :50:45.by Onzia. That is a mistake, almost let Duggan. A very bad touch by Van

:50:46. > :51:05.De Putte. One of the professionals. Fara Williams with the cross. Comes

:51:06. > :51:16.out to Duggan. Should be the goalkeeper's comfortably. As the

:51:17. > :51:19.game goes on she is going to keep getting more and more confident, you

:51:20. > :51:25.can see the first two when she came to collect the ball, she has flapped

:51:26. > :51:31.a little bit, but since then she has looked a little bit more commanding

:51:32. > :51:43.and confident, that is the best word for her. The women's FA Cup final,

:51:44. > :51:50.Saturday 14th May. Chelsea against Man City, Arsenal against Sunderland

:51:51. > :51:54.other semifinal. Could England's preparations have been hampered by

:51:55. > :52:01.the Arsenal against Notts County game that went to penalties, a few

:52:02. > :52:07.of the squad where involved in that. They would have had to had a rest

:52:08. > :52:10.day before they could get going. They had a rest day, so it would

:52:11. > :52:21.have been the pull and the ice Batth and a low tempo session.

:52:22. > :52:38.They do pass the ball well. Good challenge by Alex Scott. Better from

:52:39. > :52:43.England. Good final ball. How was your fitness with Doncaster? Still

:52:44. > :52:50.got a bit of a dodgy knee! Do not mention the age! You missed the

:52:51. > :52:57.opening game. 4-1 against you! It was. How did you play? If you did,

:52:58. > :53:06.it would have been seven! I was waiting for that.

:53:07. > :53:16.Experienced legs! Plenty more in them.

:53:17. > :53:39.Stony started the season with Arsenal, played her 50th game for

:53:40. > :54:02.the club. That feel England are forcing their

:54:03. > :54:06.passes and at very straight lines. You have to break the lines Open. We

:54:07. > :54:13.were seeing Alex Scott and Greenwood are trying to give width, it is very

:54:14. > :54:19.compact and very difficult to pass because it is very crowded in there.

:54:20. > :54:36.Seven players back constantly in defence in the central area. No need

:54:37. > :54:44.to go wide. The two -- Coutereels is coming back to deny them the width,

:54:45. > :54:47.very experienced player, 50 caps. Stoney thought it should have been a

:54:48. > :55:14.foul. The captain has stayed down. Coutereels Standard Liege will take

:55:15. > :55:18.the throw, an experienced player, played a lot of Champions League

:55:19. > :55:29.games. Into the box, looking for the goal-scorer. Lifted away by Chapman.

:55:30. > :55:40.Onzia, first game in these qualifying matches.

:55:41. > :55:47.Because you have two forward players, Duggan and Scott comedy

:55:48. > :55:51.like to play long, England are forcing the ball into the channels

:55:52. > :55:55.and it wasn't easily cleared and just like there, maybe play through

:55:56. > :56:01.the middle as well, can we play through the middle or go out wide?

:56:02. > :56:06.This would be one of the greatest ever victories should they hold onto

:56:07. > :56:09.this, Belgium. Long Way to go. Should be win the match they will go

:56:10. > :56:13.to the highest ever Fifa ranking. Free to Belgium. Currently ranked

:56:14. > :56:21.28th in the world, England fourth. Busted her physical little bit too

:56:22. > :56:45.high, Greenwood. Belgium throw. Half an hour played.

:56:46. > :56:51.The ground is very quiet. Started off atmospherically. The Belgium

:56:52. > :57:01.goal has stunned so many people here. Towards Duggan. Jill Scott in

:57:02. > :57:16.support. Three Belgium players back. The experience of Zeler.

:57:17. > :57:23.Zeler, has 76 game for Belgium. Twice she has finished top scorer in

:57:24. > :57:30.the Belgian league. She might well keep this in. The assistant slipped.

:57:31. > :57:36.In the end it is a corner, off the corner flag. That hesitancy there

:57:37. > :57:43.about England rather sums up their performance or far. Yes, great play

:57:44. > :57:48.from De Caigny to keep the ball in. Been very impressed with Belgium's

:57:49. > :57:51.athleticism and the ball they keep it and start attacking. England a

:57:52. > :58:02.little bit hesitant. De Caigny is in there, scored four

:58:03. > :58:12.goals in 15 games for her country, wearing number six on her shirt.

:58:13. > :58:21.Scott plays it away. Zeler switches, good ball from a really good player.

:58:22. > :58:34.Back at Standard Liege now, Zeler, second spell there. Fantastic

:58:35. > :58:46.crossfield ball. Just skidded off. Wullaert couldn't quite get it. Put

:58:47. > :58:48.it into context, in terms of league football, and elect played Eintracht

:58:49. > :58:58.Frankfurt in the Champions League and were beaten 2-0 away and then

:58:59. > :59:05.6-0. The German league, the strongest in Europe, I would say.

:59:06. > :59:10.Definitely. They really are and they will be difficult to beat, they have

:59:11. > :59:16.been around for a long time now and it shows when you can constantly

:59:17. > :59:19.play in the Champions League. You're going to become and better. Steph

:59:20. > :59:36.Houghton. More glowing memories of England's

:59:37. > :59:38.win against Germany, her penalty, they will be completely razed if it

:59:39. > :00:03.stays like this. -- era a Could switch. When for the return,

:00:04. > :00:06.with Lenie Onzia. Really good switch of play. They are very tidy on the

:00:07. > :00:17.ball. They have dropped two points at home

:00:18. > :00:23.to Serbia. Don't think they will drop many more against the lower

:00:24. > :00:26.sides in the group. If it stays like this, England will have to go at

:00:27. > :00:36.home to Belgium in the last qualifying game, needing to win. A

:00:37. > :00:40.draw tonight would not be a disaster, defeat would not put

:00:41. > :00:50.England out. Two teams likely to go through. It would be a real hiccup

:00:51. > :00:55.in the development of the women's game. Ten minutes left in the first

:00:56. > :01:15.half. Belgium leading. Every time one of the England

:01:16. > :01:19.players gets the ball, there are two or three Belgian players around

:01:20. > :01:33.them, hustling, trying to win the ball back. Very competitive. Only

:01:34. > :01:37.winning 27 of their previous European Championship qualifiers.

:01:38. > :01:46.This would be issued result for them. The worry is that England

:01:47. > :01:54.simply have not got going. Leaving the fall slowly. Very lethargic

:01:55. > :01:57.performance. When they are moving the ball one and two touch, making

:01:58. > :02:17.things happen. Julie Biesmans, wearing 20, but

:02:18. > :02:33.playing in what is described today as the number six role.

:02:34. > :02:47.England European runners-up in 1984. Behind Sweden. 2009, beaten by

:02:48. > :02:48.Germany, 6-2 in the final. Jill Scott, Stoney and Williams played in

:02:49. > :03:09.the final game. The game may see Aluko playing a

:03:10. > :03:12.prominent role in the second half. So many attacking options on the

:03:13. > :03:32.bench. Can completely change the game. Good football by Belgium. The

:03:33. > :03:37.goal-scorer wants it, she gets it. Good play by the experienced England

:03:38. > :03:41.number six, Casey Stoney. England playing so narrow, Belgium getting a

:03:42. > :03:51.lot of joy out wide, switching the play well. Casey Stoney hoping to go

:03:52. > :04:06.to her fourth European finals. Dangerous cross. Tessa Wullaert

:04:07. > :04:14.again. She is full of movement. She is a danger, whenever the ball comes

:04:15. > :04:19.in. Just throwing a leg at that one. As the ball comes in, always on her

:04:20. > :04:33.toes, waiting. Getting in front of the defender. She is a talent.

:04:34. > :04:41.She finally moved ahead of the goal-scoring record of the most

:04:42. > :04:49.capped Belgian player ever. 23, and their top goal-scorer ever, says it

:04:50. > :04:53.all. Has not missed a minute of the qualifying campaign so far. She

:04:54. > :05:15.looks the brightest player out there so far tonight.

:05:16. > :05:23.Jill Scott making the run, the flag stays down.

:05:24. > :05:46.Fara Williams, around the corner, to Scott. Good movement, Jordan Nobbs

:05:47. > :05:51.stretching the play. Fara Williams coming to receive it. It is the

:05:52. > :05:57.quality of the pass in those positions just lacking. Wouldn't

:05:58. > :06:03.mind Fara Williams and Jordan Nobbs swapping position. I think Fara

:06:04. > :06:10.Williams is wasted out why. Although she is coming in field, I would like

:06:11. > :06:13.to see her coming into deep positions, she can spray the ball

:06:14. > :06:23.out wide. Whether that would happen in the second half, I don't know. I

:06:24. > :06:28.am the standing tension, she can score goals in the supporting role,

:06:29. > :06:35.but does not suited. More involved in the central role. Nine and a half

:06:36. > :06:36.minutes to go in what has been a very drab and disappointing England

:06:37. > :07:05.performance so far. Stokes pressurising, forcing the

:07:06. > :07:12.corner. The referee pulling it back. Or as she? England rolling the ball

:07:13. > :07:17.out for a corner kick to be taken. The referee standing as if she

:07:18. > :07:22.expects a free kick to be taken. That is what will happen. Fara

:07:23. > :07:28.Williams. Once or twice, the referee from Hungary has not made her

:07:29. > :07:40.signals very clear. I'm sure you will give us a potted

:07:41. > :07:55.history of this referee, you know all about her? I will do.

:07:56. > :08:11.Williams goes for goal. Well done, the young goalkeeper. I think Fara

:08:12. > :08:16.Williams, a little bit over to the left-hand side, obviously she has

:08:17. > :08:22.scored goals like that before. Quite an easy claim. In the end, for the

:08:23. > :08:43.goalkeeper. She started as a bit shaky, Justien

:08:44. > :08:55.Odeurs, but done very well since Belgium taken the lead. Two minutes

:08:56. > :09:02.until the half-time whistle, cannot think of much stoppage time. The

:09:03. > :09:11.referee might add 30 seconds on for the goal. Williams during the fowl.

:09:12. > :09:16.There she is in the central role, getting more involved. She can

:09:17. > :09:25.create in there. Always wanting to get on the ball. Apco stepped out of

:09:26. > :09:47.an -- up goes Steph Houghton. Jill Scott could be in.

:09:48. > :09:55.Better free kick from Alex Greenwood. Swinging it in with the

:09:56. > :10:02.left foot. Houghton free at the back post. Nobody around. Jill Scott

:10:03. > :10:08.could not get over the ball. England do have a video team here, as do

:10:09. > :10:13.most clubs and international teams. They will relay the information to

:10:14. > :10:19.the manager, that the marking on Houghton was awful. She had a run on

:10:20. > :10:25.her marker, they did not find her, maybe later on in the game. The

:10:26. > :10:29.speed at which the video analysis goes down to the coaches is

:10:30. > :10:34.remarkable. A remarkable change in the game. At half-time they will

:10:35. > :10:49.have different clips of what they need to do, and do better. Cleared

:10:50. > :10:59.away by Aileen Zeller. A big help to her pictures, rather than someone

:11:00. > :11:04.telling you. That is half-time at Rotherham. Really disappointing

:11:05. > :11:13.first half for England. Goalkeeping howler. Janice Cayman profiting.

:11:14. > :11:19.Karen Bardsley will put their hand up in the dressing room, she is a

:11:20. > :11:28.perfectionist. England with it all to do.

:11:29. > :11:37.Very unusual position for England to be in at half-time. Kelly, your

:11:38. > :11:43.thoughts? Where do you start? It is too slow and no urgency, they need

:11:44. > :11:48.to move the ball quicker, more dynamic movement off-the-ball in the

:11:49. > :11:53.final third. Claymore passes. We are making sloppy errors under no

:11:54. > :11:57.pressure. Not good right now. Did not expect to be in this position at

:11:58. > :12:04.half-time. Very alien for England to be losing at half-time. Very much

:12:05. > :12:10.odds-on to win the game. It has not been all about England and their

:12:11. > :12:16.demise. Belgium cantering from a lackey opportunistic error from

:12:17. > :12:24.England. Really about the lack of urgency. Sometimes these free rolls,

:12:25. > :12:28.people moving into different roles. Almost causing a bit of confusion,

:12:29. > :12:33.not somebody stretching the play, to give options out why. I know it is

:12:34. > :12:41.painful, let's look at the goal. What happened? Just a ball over the

:12:42. > :12:46.top. Did not deal with it as she should. Not commanding. Should be

:12:47. > :12:53.clearing the ball right away. Just hesitant. Credit to the Belgian

:12:54. > :12:58.forward. She gambles. Getting their just reward, easy pass into the net.

:12:59. > :13:05.Absolute nightmare for Karen Bardsley. She has waited and waited,

:13:06. > :13:11.the ball bouncing two times. She is standing still, taking a swipe. She

:13:12. > :13:15.has to be on the move, committing a lot earlier than she did.

:13:16. > :13:21.Uncharacteristically Karen Bardsley, England are one down because of it.

:13:22. > :13:28.Serious error, but what options do she have? Demo numerous ones. Not

:13:29. > :13:40.about options, side-splitting it to her right or left. She could have

:13:41. > :13:45.done a Cruyff turn, and keep me ups. It is about commanding your area. It

:13:46. > :13:52.is a speculative three ball from the centre bar. She needs to come out

:13:53. > :13:56.and just put her foot through it. About making contact with the ball,

:13:57. > :14:00.clearing the lines. Taking the decisions away from the centre

:14:01. > :14:03.halves. Not theirs to make. Sometimes it is difficult for

:14:04. > :14:09.goalkeepers, when you are not involved, like she has been, being a

:14:10. > :14:14.spectator. You need her to step up, command the area. She was too

:14:15. > :14:19.hesitant. Games like this require that mentality. You know you are not

:14:20. > :14:22.going to be in the game, pulling off save after save. You need to

:14:23. > :14:29.concentrate and be there when required. The Belgian goalkeeper not

:14:30. > :14:35.been that impressive? Not technically perfect, but she has

:14:36. > :14:39.done what is required. Making decisions, coming for them. Not

:14:40. > :14:45.powering through the ball from a standing jump, technically not

:14:46. > :14:49.perfect. Here she comes, punching, getting something on the ball. Not

:14:50. > :14:55.technically perfect, keeping the ball out of the net. She has helped

:14:56. > :14:59.her defenders. Not stepping back, willing to get in the middle of it

:15:00. > :15:04.all. Free kick from Fara Williams, again certainly a goalkeeper

:15:05. > :15:12.international standard expected to make that say. She takes the sting

:15:13. > :15:16.out of the game for Belgium. Goalkeeping under the microscope

:15:17. > :15:22.tonight. What can you tell us about the state of goalkeeping in women's

:15:23. > :15:25.game, from your perspective? Disappointing that tonight has been

:15:26. > :15:31.highlighted as negatively for goalkeepers. In the last couple of

:15:32. > :15:36.years, certainly the World Cup, many examples of female goalkeepers

:15:37. > :15:42.continuing to progress. The standard improving. We did not talk about for

:15:43. > :15:53.goalkeeping during the World Cup. The standard has come on since I

:15:54. > :15:56.retired! Tonight is a blip. You are not used to seeing these errors by

:15:57. > :16:02.Karen Bardsley. World-class goalkeeper. Great shot stopper.

:16:03. > :16:07.They're kicking let her down when a team needed her. Not the norm from

:16:08. > :16:13.her. It almost gave the game a bit of a spark. All in and for the first

:16:14. > :16:21.ten, 15 minutes. Belgium not getting into that. That put England on the

:16:22. > :16:27.back foot, they need a plan B. Mark will be talking to them. I'm sure he

:16:28. > :16:31.will be. The domestic Super League started last month. Plenty of

:16:32. > :16:41.headlines in the early stages of the season. It is best England against

:16:42. > :16:44.the club she has only just left. Aluko, the champions beginning their

:16:45. > :16:58.defence of the title, with three points. Using her pace. Successful,

:16:59. > :17:08.lovely goal. It is the new girl, up and running in the WSL. They have

:17:09. > :17:22.had to be patient, the goal arriving for the home side. Toni Duggan, what

:17:23. > :17:26.a finish. Harris going down, it will be a penalty. Toni Duggan,

:17:27. > :17:40.Manchester City. Manchester City sitting top of the

:17:41. > :17:44.table. Last season's double winners, Chelsea, and the 2014 champions,

:17:45. > :17:51.Liverpool making winning start to the campaign. The league expanding

:17:52. > :18:05.to nine clubs, Reading and Doncaster Rovers

:18:06. > :18:12.Belles making a good start. What have you made of the new season?

:18:13. > :18:16.Exciting, difficult to tell who will top the table at the end of the

:18:17. > :18:24.summer. Very competitive right from the start. We'll Chelsea retain the

:18:25. > :18:28.title? Arsenal? Manchester City? Any team can beat anybody on their day,

:18:29. > :18:33.fantastic for the league. Extra team being added, fantastic for the

:18:34. > :18:38.league. A break for the international fixtures? In some

:18:39. > :18:42.respects, frustrating for players not involved in the international

:18:43. > :18:46.fixtures and fans. Something the FA are dressing, the momentum that

:18:47. > :18:52.needs to be gathered, looking ahead to next season, something that will

:18:53. > :18:56.change. It is an exciting season, for players coming up through the

:18:57. > :19:03.ranks domestically, and international players coming to the

:19:04. > :19:12.WSL. I know it is early. Any favourites? I know you will say

:19:13. > :19:16.Arsenal? Course I like Arsenal. The style they are playing. I will go

:19:17. > :19:21.with Manchester City. You can follow all the best women's football action

:19:22. > :19:22.on the BBC. We will keep you up-to-date with all the highlights

:19:23. > :19:29.from the WSL. We will have live coverage of the

:19:30. > :19:44.women's FA Cup final from Wembley. Kelly's Arsenal in the semifinals,

:19:45. > :19:50.facing Sunderland. Holders Chelsea, taking the Manchester City in the

:19:51. > :19:55.other one. Fancy a trip to Wembley? Would not mind, the best stadium in

:19:56. > :19:58.the world. Big opportunity for the women's game, back-to-back

:19:59. > :20:05.semifinals at Wembley. Hopefully we can beat some length -- beat

:20:06. > :20:11.Sunderland. They cannot be underestimated, newcomers last

:20:12. > :20:18.season, not a surprise package? They shocked a lot of people, their form

:20:19. > :20:21.was down to Beth Meade. They have more players playing professionally

:20:22. > :20:28.this year. Tough team. Good luck, Kelly. Back to tonight's match. One

:20:29. > :20:36.player missing, Manchester City striker Isobel Christiansen. Out of

:20:37. > :20:41.an ankle injury. That did not not going entirely to plan. Thoughts on

:20:42. > :20:47.the first 45? Things did not go to plan, from the start. We have a

:20:48. > :20:52.strong group, I'm sure we will overcome the 1-0 deficit. Ulloa

:20:53. > :20:57.team-mate Karen Bardsley, how will that mistake effector confidence? I

:20:58. > :21:05.don't think it will, she is a strong person mentally. Unfortunate error,

:21:06. > :21:08.miscommunication perhaps. Unfortunate, but the team will

:21:09. > :21:12.strengthen, not to win the game. What will mark the same to the

:21:13. > :21:17.players at half-time? What will his message be? He will tell them to

:21:18. > :21:23.relax. I think we have panicked a little bit going forward. We need to

:21:24. > :21:29.take more time on the ball, pick out a pass more accurately. Get the

:21:30. > :21:34.forwards through on goal. It will come, and we have a lot of attacking

:21:35. > :21:40.quality on the bench. He normally likes to make some changes, the

:21:41. > :21:46.mighty bring on? I think maybe Karen Carney coming on, she adds face and

:21:47. > :21:52.flair, picking out a key pass. Gemma on the bench she can unlock any

:21:53. > :22:01.defence on her day. Maybe looking to those two. He has plenty of options.

:22:02. > :22:06.Thanks. What do you think England's approach should be in the second

:22:07. > :22:15.half? Certainly look to use the width more. Karen Carney, Gemma

:22:16. > :22:22.Davison might add some more unknown to the game, which is what England

:22:23. > :22:28.need, unpredictability. A bit more flair, confidence, take someone on,

:22:29. > :22:39.pick out a pass. Karen Carney can do that, Gemma Davison. Fallujah, her

:22:40. > :22:43.pace is frightening. -- Aluko. England's best chances coming from

:22:44. > :22:49.set pieces? That is not what they wanted before the game. The likes of

:22:50. > :22:58.Toni Duggan looking creative. Little cutback. Foiling the defender. Not

:22:59. > :23:04.the quality she will expect. Alex Greenwood always provides real good

:23:05. > :23:10.quality, Jill Scott will be disappointed. Great positioning,

:23:11. > :23:18.does not get under the ball. Not the best header. She is known for her

:23:19. > :23:24.aerial ability. Looking for more effective in clinical play in the

:23:25. > :23:29.final third, is what we want. Also patients, you still have 45 minutes.

:23:30. > :23:33.A long time to play, get the ball down, keep it moving, dynamic

:23:34. > :23:40.movement on the ball. What kind of character can you expect from Karen

:23:41. > :23:44.Bardsley? That goal will be forgotten about. Those sort of

:23:45. > :23:51.errors, if you carry on thinking about them, not concentrating on the

:23:52. > :23:55.game. One in a million. Karen Bardsley would never do that again.

:23:56. > :24:01.Top-class goalkeeper. Forget about that, England move forwards. Mark

:24:02. > :24:06.Sampson said this would be England's Tapas home qualifier, it has turned

:24:07. > :24:11.out to be. Would not expect to be a goal down, but the first five

:24:12. > :24:18.minutes will be key, they need to be an affront foot, attacking the pace,

:24:19. > :24:24.confidence and flair. Mentally, England's record, not conceding at

:24:25. > :24:31.home in a European qualifier since 2014, it will be tough? Not

:24:32. > :24:38.something we expect to go into, 1-0 down at half-time. I have full 100%

:24:39. > :24:44.belief come the end of the game England will be the victors. It is

:24:45. > :24:47.about character now. Not used to being a goal down, who will step up

:24:48. > :24:55.and take control? Fara Williams, Katie Chapman putting their stamp on

:24:56. > :24:59.the game. Scotland 2-1 Slovenia, keeping you up-to-date with the

:25:00. > :25:11.other game. Let's hand you back to sue Smith and Jonathan Pearce.

:25:12. > :25:18.We have heard what the studio have said. This Karen Bardsley is a

:25:19. > :25:23.strong character, but it was a ghastly moment. So unfortunate as a

:25:24. > :25:29.goalkeeper, one mistake, that happens. Everything else she has

:25:30. > :25:35.done very well. Strong character mentally, she will forget about it

:25:36. > :25:40.and move on. In the second half she will be fine. We will have to

:25:41. > :25:45.restart, the referee not happy. England are rolling white, one down,

:25:46. > :25:54.kicking from right to left in this second half. The group is headed by

:25:55. > :26:15.Belgium at the moment. Casey Stoney, of Arsenal. Came

:26:16. > :26:25.through that cup win on penalties the other day.

:26:26. > :26:34.Stokes started the game brightly coming infield, then disappeared out

:26:35. > :26:40.of it. Houghton with the diagonal. Away by Janice Cayman.

:26:41. > :26:58.Always been a regular goal-scorer at club level. 13 for her country. 13

:26:59. > :27:03.years since England have lost the qualifier, unlucky 13 so far. Toni

:27:04. > :27:10.Duggan will work all day long for Mark Sampson. And England, as she

:27:11. > :27:16.always does. Fine goal-scoring form for Manchester City, ten from 13, at

:27:17. > :27:28.the end of last season and the start of this. How will Belgium set

:27:29. > :27:41.themselves up early in the second half? That is seen out of place.

:27:42. > :27:45.Laura Deloose, played well in the Algarve Cup, playing in every game.

:27:46. > :27:52.This is her first appearance in these qualifiers. Early touch for

:27:53. > :27:59.Karen Bardsley in the second half. England hesitant. Winning it back.

:28:00. > :28:10.Here is Alex Scott. Trying to get to her fourth European

:28:11. > :28:22.finals, her eighth tournament with England.

:28:23. > :28:32.Name movement upfront for England. Chapman making that point. Very

:28:33. > :28:38.straight lines, I said in the first hour. They need to break that line.

:28:39. > :28:47.Come and want the ball, get on the ball. Jill Scott, playing in

:28:48. > :28:51.midfield can break the line. Aluko upfront with Toni Duggan, with Scott

:28:52. > :29:01.playing in behind my break that line. Jill Scott likes to be the

:29:02. > :29:05.number ten, maybe the number four in midfield, running beyond the centre

:29:06. > :29:10.forwards. She makes those late runs into the box, difficult to pick up.

:29:11. > :29:24.You did very well getting the cups of tea up here for the second half,

:29:25. > :29:33.doing it at pace. It is turned into a chilly night. Will we see Karen

:29:34. > :29:36.Carney on the left-hand side? Seven experience, she can be a

:29:37. > :29:42.gamebreaker, seeing that in the past. They've Karen Carney and Gemma

:29:43. > :29:48.Davison, both white players, we have said England need some width, lazy

:29:49. > :29:52.can stay wide, take players on, get crosses into the box, make things

:29:53. > :29:56.happen. What England need at the moment, nobody taking the game by

:29:57. > :30:02.the scruff of the neck. All a bit safe and lethargic. Good connection

:30:03. > :30:07.with the subs, Karen Carney joining Chelsea. Ten minutes gone in the

:30:08. > :30:25.second half. Very much same as. Chapman might have got a foot in

:30:26. > :30:46.their and certainly caught the loose -- the Deloose. Certainly got caught

:30:47. > :30:53.there, Deloose. Given the job five years ago, Ives Serneels. Album

:30:54. > :31:08.Super Cup winner as a player. -- Belgian Super Cup winner. The

:31:09. > :31:16.England captain did well to get at them with Wullaert behind.

:31:17. > :31:27.Williams stepping infield. Dragged down. Screw the file. De Caigny was

:31:28. > :31:36.a bit naive there, the 18-year-old. Clever play from Fara Williams --

:31:37. > :31:39.drew the foul. Little pull on the shirt and just goes down. Didn't

:31:40. > :31:47.need to make the tackle there because there was cover. Just a

:31:48. > :31:57.little bit naive, inexperienced. Very good player. Her club side

:31:58. > :32:06.second in the regular season. Making a run to the far side of the box.

:32:07. > :32:14.They definitely ain't for Steph Houghton, just not great execution

:32:15. > :32:28.to reach her. Stoney had said forward. Eased away by Onzia. Up to

:32:29. > :32:32.Toni Duggan and one in the air by Zeler, she has used all her

:32:33. > :32:50.experience. 76 International 's now. England win it in the air. You

:32:51. > :32:57.cannot be doing trickery like that at 1-0 down. They get the throw.

:32:58. > :33:08.Not? Since they beat Wozniacki in November. Have only won three games

:33:09. > :33:16.in eight since the World Cup finals, England.

:33:17. > :33:26.-- not won since they beat Bosnia in November.

:33:27. > :33:35.Corner ball to England. The crowd get louder. Very quiet in the first

:33:36. > :33:51.half. England under 18 's beat Germany

:33:52. > :33:58.here in 2014. Can England do it now? Greenwood books it straight to the

:33:59. > :34:04.goalkeeper. Fara Williams is so experienced and just sees a pass and

:34:05. > :34:09.Alex Greenwood is unmarked, decided to come up from defence, get on the

:34:10. > :34:17.ball, she has a wicked left foot if she could get hold of that. One goal

:34:18. > :34:25.for England for Alex Greenwood in her 19 appearances. A few goals for

:34:26. > :34:34.her new club Liverpool under her belt this season. Alex Scott could

:34:35. > :34:46.have been fouled there. Turned away by Coutereels. Cut out by Helen

:34:47. > :34:56.Jacks. Very experienced. Williams. Getting on the ball more. Jill

:34:57. > :35:01.Scott. As the game goes on, the Belgian players have been playing

:35:02. > :35:05.football in the last nine months and England women have just after did

:35:06. > :35:10.regular season, the England women Article ten professionals and should

:35:11. > :35:14.get stronger and stronger. That fit this should pay off. -- artful

:35:15. > :35:36.professionals. I think it would be Demi Stokes that

:35:37. > :35:42.came off. Suspicion of handball. Play on.

:35:43. > :35:48.Here comes the England substitution now. It will be Karen Carney to come

:35:49. > :36:03.on for England. Very experienced player. 114 games

:36:04. > :36:07.now for England. Fourth appearance from the bench this season it will

:36:08. > :36:11.be. Here is Greenwood, much better now from England. Good defending

:36:12. > :36:26.from Deloose. England still cannot make the

:36:27. > :36:29.substitution and here it comes, Demi Stokes comes off, surprised? Not

:36:30. > :36:36.really, it could have been a number of players but just looking

:36:37. > :36:40.positionally, that is what Karen Carney will do, she will cut in with

:36:41. > :36:45.her right foot and cause problems, they said in the studio earlier that

:36:46. > :36:49.Karen Carney can find a pass, very intelligent player and she can make

:36:50. > :36:54.things happen. She can score goals, 25 for England, a couple in the

:36:55. > :37:02.World Cup finals for England against Mexico and Colombia. Has a couple of

:37:03. > :37:07.goals for Chelsea this season. Second in the women's Super League,

:37:08. > :37:11.just kicked off again, that competition. They will be very

:37:12. > :37:17.close. Man City at the top at the moment. Williams trying to get the

:37:18. > :37:31.past two Alex Scott. Gets back there. Great strength from

:37:32. > :37:36.Coutereels over on the far side. The endeavour of the Belgian players,

:37:37. > :37:49.they cheese absolutely everything. -- the chase. Real team spirit and

:37:50. > :37:56.work ethic. The lead this game still. Time dribbling away for

:37:57. > :37:57.England. Approaching the hour. Still haven't created anything in the

:37:58. > :38:13.game. Bit more urgency but more

:38:14. > :38:16.inaccuracy. That's how to do it. De Caigny has made the run in the

:38:17. > :38:21.middle. Lovely football from Belgium. Karen Bardsley read that

:38:22. > :38:36.situation ever so well. The Belgian number 20 has had a very

:38:37. > :38:43.good game, Biesmans, sat in there and protected, good balance about

:38:44. > :38:48.them. Strength and discipline. Good hold-up play from Jill Scott.

:38:49. > :38:58.Chapman arriving, not a great first touch. Could not get to the ball.

:38:59. > :39:08.Kamen. Full to challenge on Onzia, wins it back for England. Very

:39:09. > :39:18.competitive player. Good engine on the Arsenal player. Penalty box to

:39:19. > :39:23.penalty box. Might be an option to get her further forward. Carney.

:39:24. > :39:27.Allowed to go infield because Belgium knew there would be covered

:39:28. > :39:39.there. Deloose, the right bank did not want her to go wide. -- the

:39:40. > :39:49.right back. Houghton, the captain stepping forward.

:39:50. > :39:56.England, found that the World Cup finals, this is a team they should

:39:57. > :40:03.be beating. Have not played very well. In by Greenwood. Belgium just

:40:04. > :40:09.frustrating England. Everybody back behind the ball and then when they

:40:10. > :40:13.break, they counter, they do so very quickly. England getting frustrated.

:40:14. > :40:25.Nobody in the box. Kamen, around the corner, beautiful

:40:26. > :40:33.weight on the pass, outcomes Bardsley. -- Cayman. We spoke about

:40:34. > :40:37.that strength of character in the second half, she has been excellent,

:40:38. > :40:40.two things to do and done them very well. The best five moves of the

:40:41. > :41:00.game have been Belgium moves. Belgium watched the England against

:41:01. > :41:10.Bosnia game, studied it. They don't have great pace in wide areas. Not

:41:11. > :41:15.in attack anyway. Forced England narrow all-night long. Here is

:41:16. > :41:25.Greenwood. Comes out to Jill Scott. Thumping shot blocked by Coutereels.

:41:26. > :41:31.The cross and it almost came to Duggan. Suspicion there that England

:41:32. > :41:39.might have a penalty. Little nudge on Fara Williams by De Caigny.

:41:40. > :41:47.Wullaert. Top-class player. Switched away here to Cayman and it could be

:41:48. > :41:53.curtains for England. Straight at the goalkeeper. Confident

:41:54. > :42:02.goalkeeping there. Karen Bardsley making the save. Completely free out

:42:03. > :42:08.wide and when they break, they break with so much pace, looks like a

:42:09. > :42:11.shove in the back there for Fara Williams, doesn't go down easily,

:42:12. > :42:20.could have been a good shout for a penalty there. Maybe I am being

:42:21. > :42:25.biased, the Hull De Caigny. The push on Fara Williams, was enough for the

:42:26. > :42:27.referee to give a penalty? Fara Williams is not the type to go down

:42:28. > :42:49.easily. Bardsley looking for a target. She

:42:50. > :42:54.looks for Jill Scott. Here is Carney!

:42:55. > :43:02.Off target, one of those nights for England so far. That is what she

:43:03. > :43:09.will do, come infield and get onto her natural right foot, just scuffed

:43:10. > :43:14.it. Let's have a look at this again. Definitely a hand on. I think that

:43:15. > :43:18.is a good shout because Fara Williams is in the, if you get a

:43:19. > :43:29.push in the bank you will go down. Wullaert, cultural is out wide,

:43:30. > :43:39.doesn't use her. -- Coutereels. Has been enterprising. It is getting end

:43:40. > :43:45.to end. Here is Duggan. A local getting ready. Toni Duggan's action

:43:46. > :44:00.might be coming onto the field. Scott gets the cross back in,

:44:01. > :44:06.goalkick. Here comes Eniola Aluko. Let's see who goes off. It is going

:44:07. > :44:10.to be Toni Duggan who departs. Any thoughts? Has been a tough night for

:44:11. > :44:17.Toni Duggan and Jill Scott because the servers they have had has not

:44:18. > :44:21.been very good. Toni Duggan does like to run on two things, but she

:44:22. > :44:25.has not had this with any sort of quality. It has been a frustrating

:44:26. > :44:33.night for both forwards. Eniola Aluko coming on, with Karen Carney,

:44:34. > :44:36.she can make things happen. 11 years since she got her first goal for

:44:37. > :44:42.England against the Czech Republic in May 2005. Has reached the 100th

:44:43. > :44:48.cap mark. Immediately into the action. The crowd think it should

:44:49. > :44:53.have been a corner, the assistant referee gives the goalkick.

:44:54. > :45:01.Straightaway with a local's first touch, was at a corner or not? It

:45:02. > :45:05.was a corner. Bad decision. Calico plays it. Doesn't look like it, but

:45:06. > :45:10.the first angle, it is definitely a corner. Aluko, her first touch was

:45:11. > :45:17.forward, England need her positivity. Played in the Euro

:45:18. > :45:24.finals in 2005 as a teenager, scored three goals in the finals of 2009

:45:25. > :45:28.and another one in 2013. Julius World Cup in Canada. -- cheeriest

:45:29. > :45:41.World Cup. Started the first two. -- big game, big goal-scorer, 25 for

:45:42. > :45:47.Chelsea in 71 games, won the double last season, three from three at the

:45:48. > :45:53.start of this. Real bubbly character.

:45:54. > :46:05.The switch to Greenwood. Chapman. Looks for the run of Jill Scott. It

:46:06. > :46:29.is a throw. 35 games as England manager. Won the

:46:30. > :46:38.Cyprus cup, third in the World Cup, 63% of his games have been won. Did

:46:39. > :46:46.very well at Bristol Academy, a club with not the greatest of Resorts is,

:46:47. > :46:48.as won the FA Cup twice, second in the WSL which was a remarkable

:46:49. > :47:12.achievement then. Down the line goes Pharrell

:47:13. > :47:17.Williams. Jill Scott making the early run into the box, well timed.

:47:18. > :47:38.-- Fara Williams. Away for a goalkick. One of the toughest tasks

:47:39. > :47:50.she has had as England captain. Fiercely competitive, Jill Scott.

:47:51. > :47:54.Chases off after this. Jaques has done nothing wrong all-night. The

:47:55. > :48:00.goal-scorer, Janice Cayman, Good Run. Boulez is wide. De Caigny. Here

:48:01. > :48:09.is Wullaert, looks in the middle for Cayman. There is a problem here for

:48:10. > :48:14.Steph Houghton, who cleared away and immediately went to fuel the back of

:48:15. > :48:20.her leg. Good play from Belgium, the break with such pace. She is back on

:48:21. > :48:23.her feet now, I think she is OK, just twists her ankle when she

:48:24. > :48:30.clears the ball but well-positioned to clear the ball. Read the

:48:31. > :48:40.situation well. Midway through the second half. A little pause here. I

:48:41. > :48:44.wish I could tell you why this pause is happening. I think there is a

:48:45. > :49:04.problem with the assistant referee on the far side. Yes.

:49:05. > :49:26.She is a very experienced assistant, tell us a little bit about her. I

:49:27. > :49:32.told you all about her at half-time! Did she fall over in the first half?

:49:33. > :49:38.She did. Maybe it is a recurring injury.

:49:39. > :49:56.Anyway, ashamed for her -- a shame for her. We still await.

:49:57. > :50:26.Looks like Gemma Davison is warming up. Goodness me, come on. Yes,

:50:27. > :50:35.warming up. Gemma Davison, England might be making a change in a

:50:36. > :50:46.minute. Lucy Bronze, could finally come on. Don't make any plans for

:50:47. > :50:53.Christmas, ladies and gentlemen! We might still be here! It cooled calf

:50:54. > :51:12.muscle, I gather. -- it cooled cat -- pulled calf muscle. She was

:51:13. > :51:21.clipped by Karen Carney. I think she just clipped her seal. Would

:51:22. > :51:41.yellow card as well. Looked like she clipped her own ankles.

:51:42. > :51:54.The booking is for Alex Greenwood, I believe. Must be for something that

:51:55. > :52:03.was said. Free kick from Belgium. Must have been something in Scouse!

:52:04. > :52:10.Onzia towards the far stick. Good header away. Eni Aluko was over

:52:11. > :52:13.there. Bags of pace and determination. That has got the

:52:14. > :52:16.crowd on their feet. Just what England wanted. Just what England

:52:17. > :52:22.have been missing all the way through the evening. The crowd

:52:23. > :52:51.responds immediately. 20 minutes to go. Chapman. Watched

:52:52. > :52:58.all the way by Van De Putte. Very strong in the centre of defence. The

:52:59. > :53:11.high ball, dealt with by Odeurs, unopposed, a real worry and that for

:53:12. > :53:17.Mark I would think. -- for Mark Sampson. When you have the tallest

:53:18. > :53:20.girl on the pitch out there, Jill Scott, five feet 11, you want her on

:53:21. > :53:28.the end of those, don't you? Definitely. You want her there for

:53:29. > :53:43.crosses into the box. If you get the ball to Karen Carney, that is what

:53:44. > :53:52.she will do. England cannot find a way to score. Might change now. It

:53:53. > :54:03.is Chapman. Again, just a tiny bit of hesitancy. It goes to Jill Scott.

:54:04. > :54:10.Greenwood. Earlier ball in. Aluko! Bright run to the near post, no real

:54:11. > :54:15.contact. Really intelligent run and as soon as the ball comes in, what a

:54:16. > :54:19.great left foot, it takes a little bit of a deflection, she just

:54:20. > :54:24.couldn't get anything on it, clever run to go to the near post. Better,

:54:25. > :54:34.committing those players, getting them into the box. Aluko has made a

:54:35. > :54:43.difference. Again, To the dead-ball line, strong challenge on her.

:54:44. > :54:54.Coutereels in the left midfield role has played so well. Needed how they

:54:55. > :55:01.are because Zeler has been superb. Carney did well. Here is Fara

:55:02. > :55:07.Williams. Offside. That has got to be close. It was wide anyway. What a

:55:08. > :55:14.lovely bit of play from Karen Carney. Just with the dummy. She was

:55:15. > :55:19.offside. What a dummy. That is brilliant. Great running from Fara

:55:20. > :55:23.Williams, and linkup play. Just a little bit of creativity in the

:55:24. > :55:28.final third, that's what they need. I think she will be pleased it is

:55:29. > :55:29.offside because that was a bad miss. Confirmation that Alex Greenwood was

:55:30. > :55:48.cautioned. Davison waiting to come on for

:55:49. > :55:57.England. Here is Carney. Davison quite late to international

:55:58. > :56:03.football. Here is Alex Scott. Jordan Nobbs in support. The cross.

:56:04. > :56:13.Pressure in there. Will drop to a local. Jill Scott. -- Aluko.

:56:14. > :56:28.Everything into that penalty area has been dealt with well by Zeler.

:56:29. > :56:39.Strong challenge by Onzia, who has played very well.

:56:40. > :57:00.10500 and 50p you tonight. -- 10,550 fans here tonight.

:57:01. > :57:10.Chapman has had a look to the bench, I think her time is drawing to a

:57:11. > :57:17.close. Davison is waiting to come on.

:57:18. > :57:39.APPLAUSE Stoney deflects it, England throw.

:57:40. > :57:49.Free kick against England. Foul throw.

:57:50. > :58:00.Got to watch it. Here comes that change, of course Chapman and on

:58:01. > :58:04.comes Gemma Davison. She writes to get onto the ball and take players

:58:05. > :58:09.on and get crosses into the box. Williams will drop into the middle

:58:10. > :58:15.with Nobbs and Gemma Davison will go wide right and give you that width.

:58:16. > :58:24.Probably one of the best one against one attackers. Steph Houghton for

:58:25. > :58:30.England with 12 and a half minutes to go but the referee wasn't ready.

:58:31. > :58:39.I don't think she has had a great night, to be honest. Been a fairly

:58:40. > :58:45.easy game to referee. The communication has not been very

:58:46. > :58:55.good. Here is Davison, straight onto the ball. Taking on Biesmans, who

:58:56. > :59:03.has covered that area so well. She has been excellent, just protected

:59:04. > :59:11.that back four. Reads the game so well, put in some really important

:59:12. > :59:16.tackles. Only 21. Experienced player, nearly 100 games for

:59:17. > :59:22.Standard Liege already. Stoney has gone to the edge of the six yard

:59:23. > :59:31.box. Davison, likewise. Compact in there. The ball across is

:59:32. > :59:38.intercepted by Zeler. Back into the middle to Alex Scott. Well done.

:59:39. > :59:44.Gemma Davison, not a good first touch.

:59:45. > :59:50.Davison, did well there. Looking for Stoney who stayed forward and I

:59:51. > :00:00.think it got a deflection. Casey Stoney, I thought she might

:00:01. > :00:03.have been in there with the sneaky goal, good ball in and she couldn't

:00:04. > :00:10.do anything about that, it just fell at her, just try to get anything on

:00:11. > :00:13.the ball. Casey Stoney goals for England had been Rayo, six in 27

:00:14. > :00:24.games. What a servant she has been England

:00:25. > :00:37.women's game. Outstanding, can always rely on Casey Stoney. Very

:00:38. > :00:42.consistent player. She was on Pointless, on the BBC, against

:00:43. > :00:48.Graham so myself. We were awful, went out first round. She went on to

:00:49. > :00:51.win. Also very intelligent. As is Graham so, unfortunately his

:00:52. > :01:07.team-mate let him down. -- Graham . I think they kept the taxi still

:01:08. > :01:16.running. They were a bit embarrassed.

:01:17. > :01:29.What was all for him, the biggest in his managerial career as Belgian

:01:30. > :01:36.coach. -- what a result for him. Aluko.

:01:37. > :01:54.Davison once it again. Wrong choice. Davison. In towards the penalty

:01:55. > :01:58.area. Fair challenge. I think Aluko has forced a corner kick. Belgium

:01:59. > :02:07.are furious, think it should be goalkick. Very good tackle, just

:02:08. > :02:12.getting to the ball. Alex is getting further and further forward, into

:02:13. > :02:18.the box was Belgium will not be happy if this goes in. England fans

:02:19. > :02:26.would be delirious. They keep comes, does not get there. Squeezed out

:02:27. > :02:47.why. Tidied up by Aline Zeler. Back in, for England. Houghton. Just

:02:48. > :02:56.trying to curl into the top corner. Unlucky. She has scored in big

:02:57. > :03:07.games, scored against Norway, in Canada last summer. Scored a great

:03:08. > :03:12.free kick in the Super League, against Notts County, last minute.

:03:13. > :03:27.She does pop up with important goals.

:03:28. > :03:41.Any goal from anyone in white will be enough England tonight.

:03:42. > :03:53.For more pass de Alex Scott. Well played England. Karen Carney is

:03:54. > :03:57.there. It dropped to Jill Scott. Jill Scott coming up with a precious

:03:58. > :04:04.England goal. Seven minutes from time. For a minute I thought the

:04:05. > :04:10.referee was pointing for a free kick, she was not. Relief for Mark

:04:11. > :04:20.Sampson, and for England. It is taking a long time, but Jill Scots

:04:21. > :04:26.getting a matter trouble. It was Karen Carney who won the header.

:04:27. > :04:31.Great ball from Alex Scott. Jill Scott alive to the ball. The first

:04:32. > :04:34.one there. Just manages the composure to play it past the

:04:35. > :04:40.goalkeeper. Really important goal for England. Three games played in

:04:41. > :04:44.the European Championship qualifiers, three goals for Jill

:04:45. > :04:57.Scott. She has scored in all of them. Can England go on and win it?

:04:58. > :05:03.Can they go on and lose it? The substitutions have made all the

:05:04. > :05:13.difference. She just got there, the left-back. Step

:05:14. > :05:26.-- Houghton has made a difference, bringing the ball at the defence.

:05:27. > :05:32.The run from Aluko a few minutes ago got the crowd going. I'm sure Mark

:05:33. > :05:38.Sampson said to the substitutes, go out there and make something happen.

:05:39. > :05:50.Thankfully they have. Tessa Wullaert. Suddenly Belgium look

:05:51. > :06:03.tired. Williams, not a good ball, to Aluko.

:06:04. > :06:10.Tessa Wullaert will be full of running. One of the best players

:06:11. > :06:23.I've seen against England in the last couple of years. He comes to

:06:24. > :06:30.Tine De Caigny. She looks tired, full of running. She is alive to

:06:31. > :06:35.that. She deserves that, England's best player. Worked tirelessly,

:06:36. > :06:41.trying to make things happen, she has got a goal. Fara Williams looks

:06:42. > :06:51.more authoritative in the central role. Aluko getting behind. Chance

:06:52. > :06:59.for England. Davison could not spin, and get the shot away. Much more

:07:00. > :07:08.like it. The Chelsea, nation, Aluko and Davison. -- combination. They

:07:09. > :07:17.want to get on the ball. In it comes. The goalkeeper putting it

:07:18. > :07:25.over, only just. Swerving in the air from Fara Williams. Just they cross,

:07:26. > :07:30.trying to cross the ball in. They keeper does not know what to do,

:07:31. > :07:33.punching it over the bar. She was commanding, now she has gone back to

:07:34. > :07:42.how she was in the first minutes of the first far. Three minutes, plus

:07:43. > :07:58.stoppage time. Houghton, in towards Jill Scott. Karen Carney.

:07:59. > :08:20.That is given offside, from the throw in. Sums up the performance.

:08:21. > :08:30.Mark Sampson, he went off down the touchline. The decision was offside,

:08:31. > :08:37.the flag was an offside flag. At this level. Disappointing. The way

:08:38. > :08:46.the game is going, players getting sent better. Still get that standard

:08:47. > :08:59.of official. Two minutes left, plus stoppage time.

:09:00. > :09:24.Jill Scott. Karen Carney, can she keep it in play. Lovely cross into

:09:25. > :09:29.the middle. Headed away. England scoring on the pressure in the

:09:30. > :09:40.closing moments. Where has this come from? Where was it early on in the

:09:41. > :09:46.game? Greenwood will take it. Houghton in there. Casey Stoney,

:09:47. > :09:56.Jill Scott. The challenge is in there.

:09:57. > :10:11.Last minute. Greenwood was offside. That was the right decision. Naive

:10:12. > :10:23.plate to get caught like that in the offside trap. He comes Sara Yuceil,

:10:24. > :10:32.another Standard Liege player. They will not be in a hurry to do this.

:10:33. > :10:37.She was told to go away to the far side, she has been playing central

:10:38. > :10:43.midfield. So they're making the signs, go to the far side. The

:10:44. > :10:49.referee, if she has anything about her, will add time on. We are into

:10:50. > :11:03.stoppage time now. Five minutes of stoppage time. Stoney got there. So

:11:04. > :11:09.did Williams, much better second half for her. Pillud who did well.

:11:10. > :11:24.-- Aluko. Jill Scott could not control

:11:25. > :11:37.it. England must not lose it from here.

:11:38. > :12:30.England's trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina will be very important. And serve

:12:31. > :12:43.you coming at home, at Wycombe Wanderers. Jill Scott losing

:12:44. > :12:51.possession. -- and Serbia. Played up to Aluko. Strong performance from

:12:52. > :12:58.Zeler, we expected that, good player over the years. Lead by example from

:12:59. > :13:08.the back. Karen Carney trying to burrow her way through. Won the free

:13:09. > :13:16.kick. Good tidy fee from Karen Carney. Not sure if it was a foul.

:13:17. > :13:40.Yellow card for Approaching the end of the third

:13:41. > :13:45.minute of stoppage time. Horrible night for England, really. They have

:13:46. > :13:59.underperformed. They have been stodgy. This will wipe the memory of

:14:00. > :14:04.this away. Houghton around the world, the second time of asking,

:14:05. > :14:09.the keeper has done. She has done for match of curling, but too close

:14:10. > :14:22.to the goalkeeper. Looking to get it either side. Jordan hopes.

:14:23. > :14:47.Much more balance about England now. Karen Carney is tricky. Appleby of

:14:48. > :14:58.Belgian throw. -- that will be. Another substitution for Belgium.

:14:59. > :15:04.Path goes Tessa Wullaert, she has been sectional. -- off goes. Would

:15:05. > :15:11.not have been out of place in the World Cup finals last summer. On

:15:12. > :15:24.comes Tine Schryvers, 21-year-old from Antwerp. Made her debut in the

:15:25. > :15:28.Algarve Cup. Scored against Russia. That will wind down a few more

:15:29. > :15:35.seconds. England might have one last attack.

:15:36. > :15:43.Good triangle from England, under pressure. Switched out of Alex

:15:44. > :15:51.Scott. They need to get it in, and quickly. They will not have time.

:15:52. > :15:54.Five minutes stoppage time. No wonder he celebrates, probably the

:15:55. > :16:01.best results in his managerial career. Disappointment for Mark

:16:02. > :16:06.Sampson and England. Disappointing night, rescued by Jill Scott's late

:16:07. > :16:12.equaliser, after a revolt error by Karen Bardsley let Belgium in in the

:16:13. > :16:19.first half. Janice Cayman profiting to put them ahead. England get the

:16:20. > :16:26.point, remain unbeaten in the group. In the end, that is something. He

:16:27. > :16:34.finishes in Rotherham, at a New York Stadium, 1-1.

:16:35. > :16:41.This is what it means in terms of qualification... Belgium one point

:16:42. > :16:44.clear at the top of the group. England go second. Only the top team

:16:45. > :17:07.guaranteed a spot at Euro 2017. England had to Bosnia, for their

:17:08. > :17:15.next qualifier on Tuesday afternoon. The next home game is against Serbia

:17:16. > :17:21.at Wycombe, on the 4th of June, we will bring you that match live on

:17:22. > :17:26.the BBC. Points dropped a home, a draw, what did you make England

:17:27. > :17:31.performance? They will be disappointed with the final result.

:17:32. > :17:34.They have to take heart in the second half, the substitutes made a

:17:35. > :17:38.difference. We saw the spark come back to England. That is what they

:17:39. > :17:43.need to take into the next game moving forward. They will have to

:17:44. > :17:49.analyse it. Moving forward, concentrate on their attacks. That

:17:50. > :17:54.is what they need to take with them. Good enough, from your perspective?

:17:55. > :18:01.First performance not enough. Second half, more positive, on from foot,

:18:02. > :18:05.more confident. The subs made a difference, Karen Carney taking

:18:06. > :18:12.ownership, dribbling, committing players. Aluko, with her face

:18:13. > :18:20.behind. Credit to Belgian, they stifled, they came with a game plan.

:18:21. > :18:25.They made it difficult for the fourth placed team in the world. We

:18:26. > :18:29.can hear from Mark Sampson, with John Kerry. Disappointing result,

:18:30. > :18:34.what did you make of the performance? We wanted to win,

:18:35. > :18:41.disappointing to draw at home. Belgium fronted up, very physical,

:18:42. > :18:46.organised. A lot of character in their team. Character in our team to

:18:47. > :18:51.come back from a strange moment, conceding a strange goal. We

:18:52. > :18:56.peppered their goal, getting a well-deserved equaliser, unfortunate

:18:57. > :19:01.not to win it. Did England underperformed? When you concede a

:19:02. > :19:06.goal like we did, difficult to get back into the game mentally. We

:19:07. > :19:10.could have scored five or six, we created opportunities, got in good

:19:11. > :19:17.areas, did not execute our final product. The goal that Belgian

:19:18. > :19:22.scored, goalkeeping error. Is it a case of arm around the shoulder for

:19:23. > :19:28.Karen Bardsley? Look to make a change? Change Karen Bardsley?

:19:29. > :19:35.Outstanding for this team. Lazy poll the World Cup. Well cast goalkeeper,

:19:36. > :19:41.every keeper makes mistake. We will give her that one. Choosing that she

:19:42. > :19:46.will be backfiring for England. Commiserations, best of luck for

:19:47. > :19:51.Bosnia. Full support for Karen Bardsley from Mark Sampson. What did

:19:52. > :19:57.you make of his comments? Rightly so, a world-class goalkeeper. It was

:19:58. > :20:04.a freak error, would not expect to make that again. She has my backing

:20:05. > :20:11.in the goalkeeping union. Running through it again. Just hesitancy.

:20:12. > :20:16.Should commit earlier. Taking the decision away from Casey Stoney.

:20:17. > :20:23.Should just get it away. Talk about where it goes a later date.

:20:24. > :20:33.Disappointed. She needs the dust herself. Karen Bardsley was

:20:34. > :20:37.outstanding in the second half. Commanding Herrera, sweeping balls

:20:38. > :20:42.away. That is the most important thing, that it does not affect you,

:20:43. > :20:48.continued as if it did not happen. We should be to hear from the

:20:49. > :20:52.goal-scorer. Jill Scott. What was the team's thoughts on the

:20:53. > :20:57.performance? We look at it as two points lost in the qualifying

:20:58. > :21:03.campaign. Second half better than the first. A lot of positives.

:21:04. > :21:08.England had a penalty call, what were your thoughts about it? Cannot

:21:09. > :21:13.remember it. I would have to watch it back. We created chances in the

:21:14. > :21:18.second half, we know we can play better. That point means we're still

:21:19. > :21:24.in with a shout of qualifying from the group. For you personally,

:21:25. > :21:31.scoring goals is a familiar theme, three girls in free fires? Happy to

:21:32. > :21:35.get on the scoresheet. At the end of the day I wanted anybody to put the

:21:36. > :21:40.ball in the net. Happy to get the point at the end. How do you guys

:21:41. > :21:46.pick yourself up against Bosnia on Tuesday? We have a great group of

:21:47. > :21:49.players, we have not lost. We have a point. We have good strength, we

:21:50. > :21:57.always win together and lose together. I'm sure the girls will be

:21:58. > :22:02.heading into the next game fine. Fitting that Jill Scott got the

:22:03. > :22:06.equaliser? She has been a tower of strength. She is relentless. She

:22:07. > :22:13.does not give Belgium any sort of room. Drifting into the box, always

:22:14. > :22:22.a target. She may detract from other players, not the best header of the

:22:23. > :22:28.ball. She's sharp as anything, ready to put the ball into the net.

:22:29. > :22:31.Ultimately what England deserved. Fantastic cross from Alex Scott,

:22:32. > :22:36.putting it in the right area. Karen Carney not known for heading.

:22:37. > :22:40.Composure from Jill Scott, in the right place at the right time. We

:22:41. > :22:46.should give credit to Belgium as well? We said at the beginning, they

:22:47. > :22:51.would bank up not in possession looking to counter, exactly what

:22:52. > :22:55.they did. Moving forwards, much improved team. They deserved

:22:56. > :23:02.something from the game. Not too much credit. Scotland have been in

:23:03. > :23:03.action tonight at home to Slovenia. The girls from that game now with

:23:04. > :23:17.Paul Mitchell. -- the goals. Scotland gathering again. Chance for

:23:18. > :23:24.Scotland for the opening goal. Beautifully done again. The third

:23:25. > :23:29.consecutive qualifier in which Jane Ross has put Scotland ahead. After

:23:30. > :23:36.all the hard work, Slovenia will be devastated giving away a goal in

:23:37. > :23:44.such a fashion. Scotland generally pretty good in the air. Oh, it is

:23:45. > :23:56.in. Scotland normally so good in those positions. They got caught

:23:57. > :24:07.out. Fay could not keep it out. Slovenia have levelled. Fun to

:24:08. > :24:10.Evans. She is strong. Taken late, the referee says play on. Chance for

:24:11. > :24:24.Scotland, it is in, Ross is always there. Jane Ross scores

:24:25. > :24:31.again. 11 goal in European Championship qualification football.

:24:32. > :24:43.Scotland getting it again. Chance, Kim Little, well challenged. The

:24:44. > :24:51.referee points to the spot. Kim Little taken late. Frightened coming

:24:52. > :24:57.through. There was Little. Kicked in the back of the leg. Chance for 3-1.

:24:58. > :25:04.Kim Little does not mess. Clinical from the spot. Seven minutes gone in

:25:05. > :25:13.the second half, Scotland extend their lead, 3-1. Comes from the boot

:25:14. > :25:18.of Kim Little. Scotland go six points clear in Group 1, perfect

:25:19. > :25:23.record. Five wins out of five. At home to their closest rivals Iceland

:25:24. > :25:31.on the 3rd of June, looking well placed to qualify for next summer's

:25:32. > :25:34.finals. Northern Ireland's qualifier at home to the Czech Republic was

:25:35. > :25:43.this phone, because of traffic congestion. Let's hear from Aluko.

:25:44. > :25:49.What are the thoughts of the team about the performance? Disappointing

:25:50. > :25:54.performance. We were confident we would win it. We knew Belgium would

:25:55. > :25:58.be a tough team to break down, some good results recently. We made the

:25:59. > :26:07.best out of the game. Fortunately Jill got the goal. Last ten minutes

:26:08. > :26:10.we pushed for the second, not to be. Why did England struggle so much for

:26:11. > :26:16.large periods of the game this evening? Belgium did well to congest

:26:17. > :26:21.the pitch, not enough space, not space in behind for the forwards. A

:26:22. > :26:28.lot of congested play. They frustrated us. Not as precise as we

:26:29. > :26:34.have been in the past. They got the goal, grew in confidence. We will

:26:35. > :26:39.take something from the game, figure out how to break teams down, that is

:26:40. > :26:45.what a lot of teams will do against us, two banks of four, we will have

:26:46. > :26:50.to break that down and get wins. She added a lot of energy from the

:26:51. > :26:55.bench? The pace in behind, she is so fast, hard to defend against. When

:26:56. > :27:02.she gets on the turn. Just overtaking the player. So quick over

:27:03. > :27:08.small amounts of grass. In the break, Alex Scott with the overlap.

:27:09. > :27:13.She finds gaps. Great little turn. Getting herself in the box, she is

:27:14. > :27:19.alert, always on her toes. Narrowly missing the ball. She made a

:27:20. > :27:23.difference when she came on. She is unpredictable, what England needed,

:27:24. > :27:28.someone to break the shape, along with Karen Carney, she was

:27:29. > :27:33.fantastic. She made the point, teams will come to play against England in

:27:34. > :27:40.two banks of four, they need to break them down? Yes, England knew

:27:41. > :27:48.that. They are going to need to work on, and work out ahead of the final

:27:49. > :27:54.few qualifying games. Great that there were 10,500 fans. Great to see

:27:55. > :28:00.a nearly full fading. The crowd got into it, forcing the winner for

:28:01. > :28:04.England. Not the end of the well, I believe England will qualify for the

:28:05. > :28:11.European Championships. Last qualifying campaign is Belgium, that

:28:12. > :28:13.could be an issue? It could be, hopefully does not come down to

:28:14. > :28:20.that. We will see what happens between now and then. Thank you,

:28:21. > :28:25.Kelly and Rachel, at the New York Stage in Rotherham, unexpected blip

:28:26. > :28:47.against Belgium. Thank you for watching, good night.
