I can’t see England winning this now.
I suspect they will run out of steam.

Indeed.
But England having a good old go.
Stranger things have happened.

How did we lose that last line out?
Only really got ourselves to blame, but the red card swung it.

Fair play NZ, came out strongest at the end. But helped by the red card.
A couple of lost chances by England especially at the end.

I was in bed and am ashamed to say fell asleep again at half time. Sounds like they could/should have sent it into extra time with a penalty?

...but at top level, you can't play with 14 for 3/4 of the game with strong opponents, sadly 😠

What a shame, great game and two great teams. I thought the red card was deserved, no malice but a red according to the laws. It was probably the right decision to turn down the kick at the end, the extra time would have favoured NZ with extra player and that was England best chance to win. Oh well, the joys of being an England sports fan.
