X really has gone to sh*te - can’t even embed tweets anymore!

How can there be no injury time after that goal area incident where Hannah Hamilton got a nose bleed and was forced to change clothes.

Lucy Bronze and Hannah Hamilton take a bow!

wow !😎

Those penalties!!!

Equal pay for woman. 🙂

Chelsea girls to the rescue 😉

Went to bed late yesterday forgot to put my dinner as was so caught up in the match so eat around midnight.

Defensively at 6 and 7s in the first and Jesse Carter struggled at time tohugh also the Swedes pressure was a big factor.

Until Kelly and Agyemang came on from 78 mins onward the Swedes rarely looked troubled yet Kelly's pace down the flank together with a sizeable presence in the centre broke the Swedes.

Penalty shootout was a shocker though Hamilton did well to keep her nerve.

Loved the panache on Kelly's penalty.

I do find it odd, as it happens at all levels, when they team come charging down the pitch to mob the keeper. I think that they had six penalties and three of them, including the clinching were miles off of target. Fair play to Hannah but in reality she had little effect in the overall outcome of the shootout, which in truth, was pretty shocking from both teams.

Her threatening posture was essential to the Swedish misses!

Although maybe not at Terry Butcher levels but she still gave blood for the cause. Now, who the hell did this to our Hannah!

Was her nose broken as well?

From memory think she saves two and with a bandage thing up her nose.

Hope not. That would be a crime 😘😳

Crikey, some effort by Germany, keeper in particular. She has come back from two bouts of thyroid cancer. France all fur coat and no knickers.

Agree. Berger is a fine goalie. Made some good saves last night especially when she was wrong-footed and dived to her right when one of her team-mates headed the ball back.

Remember we talked about the women's game and how female goalies were at a disadvantage vs men because of their shorter height @Boyne ? Damn, at times this this is so not the case!

Yep, remember the conversation. As you say, not always the case. I think that Berger is one of the taller female goalies. A shame she left Chelsea but then we have Hannah Hampton.

Could be an England v Germany final with Hampton and Berger.

Hmmm, let's see...who to support 🤔 😄

Tonight's team:

England XI: Hampton, Bronze, Williamson, Morgan, Greenwood, Walsh, Stanway, Toone, James, Russo, Hemp.

Subs: Keating, Moorhouse, Charles, Mead, Le Tissier, Clinton, Carter, Agyemang, Kelly, Beever-Jones, Park, Wubben-Moy.

Thought our manager left it late to put on Agyemang yet it came together.

Not a great performance yet we delivered late on with a Kelly penalty.

Thought Italy gave us problems with their organised play.

In the last two games Kelly and Agyamang have changed the outcome albeit with more offensive players on the pitch.

Might be a dilemma for Wiegman in the next match, stick or twist.

A win despite Wiegman's efforts. Bizarre that she left the subs so late. But she has history.
