Very little has been said by the media of the fantastic save made by the England goalie when the
score was 2-0. If Sweden had scored it would have brought them right back into the game and
afforded us some possible squeaky bum moments.

There was a save in the first few minutes too. If only….

The game ebbed and flowed and we were under the cosh during the first part. However, we scored goals and Sweden didn’t.
It is simpler than it looks.

I want it to be Germany.
I want it to go to penalties.
I want them to show the men how to do it.

Wouldn't 4 - 2 aet rub it in a bit more?

It was a game of two goalkeepers Brian.
One keeper kept a team in the game, whereas the other keeper didn't exactly have her best game.

England have rode their luck over the last couple of games, and rather like the match against Spain, it's rather a case of the opposition failing to score.
I think they play some really good stuff.

I'm still wondering if the Spanish manager has taken off his false hair, glasses, beard and other aspects of disguise after re-entering the country.
He had a shocker with the selection.

Another one Sunday.
Might even get a beer in!

My predicition - Wiegman will keep the same starting eleven and Helen White will score at Wembley.

Who are the BBC commentators for the Germany v France game? The bloke sounds like John Motson on mogadon.

"The next goal could win it."

Well, yes, that's always possible when the score is 1 - 1.

Correct! And funny you should ask that because JP [along with his assistant - sorry forgotten her name. ex-England international**] was always the 'main' commentator for the big England games....but obviously not anymore. In a nut shell, he's been demoted. Which, for me, is a bit of a shame, I think he's excellent.

Anyway.....nothing is forever!!!

**edit: I think it's Sue Smith

Bloke I had a pint with tonight had a tenner on Germany to win in 90 mins with both teams scoring.
I don't understand this betting stuff, but that sounds like he can buy me a pint next week.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

I watched both semi finals start to finish and found them most enjoyable. 

The quality and style of play strikes me as being in something of a sweet spot [for my viewing anyway]. 

Skill levels have improved significantly enough to be admired but the game hasn't (yet?) adopted the irritating habits of the men.  I find it a nice combination. 

I'll not be able to watch the final but of the four teams in the semi finals it looks very much like the best two teams are in the final. 

Good luck!

Further proof from punditry that the women are as "good" as the men:-

Woman pundit (and player, if Everton is a team)

"You won't see a goal like that all tournament" - of England and the tournament's final goal.  Giant strides!
