Laura Georges
Former France international on BBC OneI am really happy for Geyoro because I remember the coaches telling her follow the action and don't stay in the midfield. We can see her making the follow-up run and going through on goal - getting on the scoresheet.

Izzy Christiansen
Everton and England midfielder on BBC TwoThe French team have laid low in preparation to this tournament. But this team, in that system, are playing it to perfection right now.

Everton and England midfielder on BBC TwoThe Italians had a chance to put themselves one up and it was a real miss given how much it kicked France into action.

Laura Georges
Former France international on BBC OneCascarino likes to get those crossing balls. Also cutting the ball and getting inside and shoot to the goal. It's not surprising for us. But it's good to see that she is able to score and good for her confidence.

I'm sorry Italy but I have just checked the biggest Women's Euros win ever...
It's England 6-0 Scotland in 2017.
Only one more France goal needed. And we'd all be amazed if they don't score again.

Glen: I thought there was chaos around this French side - only chaos I’m seeing is what they are causing to this Italian side. On another level to the teams we’ve seen so far
Roberto: If this is France easing their way into the tournament hate to see them when they hit their stride! Cascarino and Katoto have been awesome!

BBC Sport at New York StadiumNow I am a fan of the Kungs vs Cookin’ on 3 Burners song 'This Girl', external but I fear I am going to get sick of it pretty soon because it is the goal music here and I am pretty certain we haven't heard the last of it.
I think we all expected France to be good, but this good? Italy have no answer to their attack and bar shoving every player back in defence I don't see how they don't score more.
Brilliant performance so far by France.

Scott Booth
Former Birmingham City manager on BBC TVOn the fourth goal
So far in this half, it's been a great example if you give a good side top quality players some space that leaves an Italian player one or two yards away from the attacker which sees Geyoro unmarked.

You fear for Italy now. They're cut apart again down the wings and Kadidiatou Diani's first-time shot is saved well down low by Laura Giuliani.

That fourth goal was scored so quickly Scott Booth didn't even have time to talk through the third.

A brilliant strike from Cascarino - low and hard. But defensively you have to get closer to these players.

Image source, BBC SportSome performance this from France.
There were audible gasps at Delphine Cascarino's bullet of a strike and the celebrations had barely died down when they got another.
France are firmly underlining their credentials as one of the Euro 2022 favourites. Who would want to face this attack?

Grace Geyoro
The goal music had barely stopped before it starts again.
Marie-Antoinette Katoto flicks the ball into the path of Grace Geyoro, who runs in between two centre-backs and then goes round the keeper before rolling into an empty net.
