*Official* Women's Euro 2022 in England

[Magrat Garlick]

Germany-Spain is chaotic (a sentence very rarely typed in football threads...)

also apparently both teams are disregarding the weather at Brentford

 

[Uppercut]

It’s been a good game, I like how both teams still have a distinct style that fits their national stereotype.

netherlands v portugal tonight, with an outsider goal on 4'20"

edit: VAR right for once

 

[Howe_zat]

You can get 80/1 on Northern Ireland tonight which has got to be the biggest odds I've seen for a tournament football match.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Welp.

What's the punishment for caring? Do I have to wear a white bodice and red skirt for the rest of this tourney?

It's worse than that, you now have to support England.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

well at least i'm now freed from abe so that's something

 

[Howe_zat]

Bringing a pretty strong mockers game there. Unfair

If you accessorise properly I've no doubt you could totally pull that off.

Anyhoo, how you feel about golf? Your boy Hovland now joint leader at The Open. Is that any salve to the wound?

so help me all divine powers this tournament is making me feel warmly towards Denmark

 

[Magrat Garlick]

^ so ofc Spain goes through.

fun first-half and then the second when Denmark really started to need a goal it got into NID territory

 

[Howe_zat]

Other than Norway crashing out it looks like there's no deviation from the script across the group stage

Georgia Stanway channelling her inner Bobby Charlton with that one. Good effort to hang in there and come back from being outplayed for most of the first 80 minutes. Well done the Lionesses.

Yeah they were bloody awful for much of it.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

the one bad match out of the way, it's coming home

 

[BoyBrumby]

No pretence at any expertise from me, but, judging by the bookies who're generally pretty clued in, it looks like it's between yer Lionesses, Jerry (Jeraldine?) and Johnny (Jenny?) Frog.

Yeah. Pre tournament there were 6 teams roughly even with Spain and France leading the field followed by Germany, England, Netherlands and Sweden.

Since then England have been playing first as hosts and winning so are usually in a better position than the rest, and their pasting of Norway (who started as a 'Argentina-in-the-rugby' level dark horse) took enough headline inches for the patriotic punts to start coming in.

Yes, the winning goal was a genuinely thrilling moment. Doing my usual thing of thinking back to goals scored by the men's teach in knock out matches, I thought it was up there with David Platt's last minute volley against Belgium in 1990 as a spine tingling contribution.
