I was thinking about this during that exact moment in the game. Winning a flick on to no-one is useless - but if the defender heads it out for a throw, or into the midfield where you win the second ball then that's a net win. This basically applies to any straight long ball.

I'm pretty sure this can't be correct. I remember Arsenal winning there during "project restart"

These are *American* viewing figures for the women's Euros. I think ITV got about 4.5m for the last game

60% brighter floodlights should really improve the quality of the TV pictures too. Which is a better viewing experience, of course, but should also give it a bit less of a "cheap" feel that the fuzzy-looking night games at non-league ground tend to have.

Having watched the game it's not exactly surprising, but that "Zones of Control" graphic is wild
