Nerve wracking but it's the result that counts. James starting makes such a difference. Goal of the tournament maybe?

They're really missing Williams, Mead, Kirby, and (today) Walsh.

Thanks @DuncinToffee

Great chat afterwards about the problems in women’s football

Nasty challenge that, deserved red

What a save!

VAR on possible penalty for China

Penalty given

1-0 China

another VAR check on possible China penalty

not given this time but it looked like a pen to me.

I don’t understand!

And another VAR penalty check, for Haiti this time

Not given, on field decision overturned, looked a clear penalty to me

Oh dear, that should be checked by VAR

What’s going on!!!

Haiti coach is right to be furious

The Haiti coach is NOT happy

FT China 1-0 Haiti

VAR and referee shambles in extra time

Group D to be decided in the final round of games

Tomorrow's matches

29 July, 08:30: Sweden v Italy - BBC
29 July, 11:00: France v Brazil - BBC
29 July, 13:30: Panama v Jamaica - ITV

China did not deserve to win that!
Haiti were handed some terrible decisions. I hope that we can win our match easily.

Any news on how Keira Walsh is doing? I’ve googled but can’t find any recent updates. I feel so sorry for her - bet she is devastated.

So we have to win on Tuesday to go through? I feel I should know this after a decade of watching women’s football 🤦‍♀️.

Wow, three quick goals in succession from the Swedes just before half time

Fuck me, the Italians have absolutely fallen apart.

A draw is enough.

A draw and win both will secure top spot in the group.

A loss and it will come down to Denmark's result and goal difference.

This is why we need a spreadsheet wallchart

Thank you!

and a 4th for Sweden.
