The Lionesses.

Cracking game, though lost control in parts of the 2nd half, and conceded a slightly soft equaliser IMHO. But as cool as cucumbers in the shootout. I'm looking forward to the women's world cup, though not sure the timings will be great for UK viewers.

Must say I prefer watching the Lionesses over the mens. Great to watch and always get results.

Is the next tournament hosted by Australia?

Believe so, hence my comment about timings probably not suiting us too well.

I've been watching some of the WC. England were very impressive with a 6-1 win over China. This is despite key players out with injuries.

 

[Messiah]

Yeah, they did well!

I agree with your earlier comment as well, prefer watching the women over the men.

Only saw the highlights - dodgy offside call against them so it should have been 7. Will be trying to catch the next game live.

True. They don't over react when someone passes wind within 5 yards of the opposition.

Skin of the teeth job today, facing a side that was noticeably better on the day. Not a fun watch!

 

[Messiah]

Definitely not a fun watch!

Still, we are through. 😊

And again, through to semis. Not an easy match but it's the latter stages of the world cup. Bring on the Matildas.

Yep, an easier watch than Nigeria - but not by much. Great spirit shown.

They always seem to find a way, even though a few of their key players are back in blighty with injuries.

 

[Messiah]

Missed the match today but so glad to see they won! 😊

 

[Messiah]

WOW!

Great game.

Into the final!!!!

 

[12th Monkey]

Great game, though still a few heart-in-mouth moments. A well-deserved win.

Looking forward to the final on Sunday. The semis was close for a short period, as you'd expect playing the co-hosts in their backyard. As with most things the cream always comes to the top.

Here's hoping!

Half time and we're hoping harder.
Handy last-minute scim off the post prevents them being 2 up.

(Don't like the way their number 2 keeps finding space on the overlap 🤨).

....I'd liked to have seen James on from the start.

If they had won the mens team might have been fired. I could visualise Harry Kane playing in a dress in his next international outing .Sadly that won't be happening.

You've gotta love Mary....when she mouthed "FO" after the penalty save 😆

Has to be said that Spain were comfortably the better side. Curses...

For sure. Still, they did well.

They can be proud. 😊

English team looked solid powerful and fluid entering the final. However after playing Spain it was plain to see that England has met a better team, and often they had nothing to answer back Spains superior possession and attack.
