Thanks - I'm bricking it, as always!

Fantastic result for Everton.. I shall look forward to catching up with the highlights on that one.

Same same. I was enjoying the match and then thinking ooer, we've got them next Sunday! Hopefully they will have a reaction after such a great victory and we will prevail. Still think we're looking at something like a 5-4.

Oh FFS they have just equalised.

I don't know anything about Corinthians (or the Brazil league), what level do they play compared to the UK leagues?

Well. Gotham were expected to beat them apparently.

I'm not watching - anyone who is, can you tell me are we going to extra time or straight to penalties and also, do you think Renee's subs have worked?

that was never a penalty

and no idea

Gah.
Thanks.

I think they are making it up as they go tbh.

Arsenal mad Brazilian DIL there with equally mad Arsenal DS. He is learning Portuguese slowly but his view on Corinthians is one of the many swear words he has managed to learn 😂

😀

My nerves are shredded.

Ok it is extra time.

edited to add Corinthians underdogs according to commentator

I think that penalty was very harsh. It looked to me like their player stood on McCabe's foot, not the other way round.

3-2 up now. Caitlin's first goal of the season, I think! What a wonderful time to break her duck.

Such a sensible rule to allow a concussion sub after all subs used.
The the other team also gets another sub.

have never seen this?
Or maybe just never noticed?

Love Katie McCabe leading the cheering-as usual!!

I have never heard of the other team also getting a sub. Are you sure it wasn't the additional extra time sub?

We won! First winners of the Women's Champions Cup!

Poor Anneke. Horrible way to end her game.

It's definitely a concussion rule. I've never seen it put into practice before but it is a thing.

I have seen concussion subs, but never that the other team also gets a sub.

I have learned something new today

Well done Arsenal 🏆⚽

I think it makes it feel fair and think so sensible.

I do think different competitions do have different rules.

Also-love Arsene being there. Just need Ian Wright and it is perfect

Love Arsene, though some of his ideas for the game are just daft. Gone right off Ian Wright.

That trophy, though...it's the Ratners version, for those who are old enough to get that reference. The Ooh Ambassador, you are spoiling us, Clarice Cliff but make it out of Bakelite version of the ladies plate at Wimbledon.
It's hideous.

Everton have sacked Brian Sorensen. right decision.

Back to back wins and a great goal for Imna.

I don't really have a WSL team but I have a soft spot for Arsenal. They played so well today.

I would like to warmly welcome you to the Arsenal women's fanbase.

It's a great place to be!!!

edited to say I want to cry when I see Viv in her rightful colours 😭
