Another two and I can relax

2:1 bit too tight for me, I do get nervous

SongToTheMoon · 22/06/2015 23:35

Don't drop back. Pleeeaase..

reni1 · 22/06/2015 23:39

Completely different team to first half, the 0:0 was flattering for such a long time for England, but now they look really threatening.

SongToTheMoon · 22/06/2015 23:41

Time for a pacey forward to come on as Norway move up?

reni1 · 22/06/2015 23:44

Norway just put another striker on

Where's the fist pump icon when you need it

SongToTheMoon · 22/06/2015 23:54

Phew!!!

Now do I stay up for USA:Colombia? Would be stupid, but judging on the last few days I probably will

scallopsrgreat · 23/06/2015 00:14

Woo hoo! Just saw the end of it! So pleased!

Scott has to start against Canada, her coming on was the turning point for me in terms of influence and play style. We just looked so much better. I did wonder if the coach was intending that we avoid losing the game for the first 60 minutes and then play to win in the last 30 minutes.

DoctorTwo · 23/06/2015 12:02

I agree sausage, the first half was incredibly frustrating to watch. That save by Bardsley was worthy of any keeper. And any footballer would be happy to have hit the ball like Lucy Bronze...

So the Lionesses came from behind to win a world cup knockout match in normal time. That's something the men have never achieved. EVER!!!

drinkscabinet · 26/06/2015 22:54

I'm assuming you are all watching France v Germany. Showcase game but I'm getting stressed and i don't care who goes through. Don't know how the Germans and French are coping.

Argh penalties

OP posts:
reni1 · 26/06/2015 23:48

Penalties are so draining.

reni1 · 26/06/2015 23:50

The England game is at stupid o'clock tomorrow, I already have football induced jet lag.

TTWK · 27/06/2015 08:48

I wonder if the German men have been involved in the coaching of the German women re penalties. Or is it sexist to suggest that?

5 absolutely top draw penalties. I sometimes wonder if penalties are on the German national curriculum, along with maths and science!
