Women's football stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

A classic German result last night - lose a player after thirteen minutes, outplayed by a better side, still win.
They'll be knackered for the Spain match though.

I was trying to explain to my daughter the other day why I reckoned that Germany would beat Spain as and when they met in the knock-outs. Basically along the lines that Germany would defend much better than the sides that Spain were annihilating in the group stage and, noting that Spain conceded a goal or two even against those sides, that Spain would concede a goal or two against Germany. Naturally my teenage daughter wasn't having any of it, given that her dad knows half of nothing about anything. But we'll see on Wednesday night.

Ignoring the penalty count, Sweden's 4-1 win against 10 person Germany and said's subsequent performance against France does put our performance against Sweden look a wole lot better than some people were saying at the time.
We were out played by France though. Think the top sides are all very similar.
As for Germany v Spain, the Germans will be knackered and quite a few of their players were carrying niggles by the end. Spain have cruised through and might find it a challenge to step up if Germany hang in the match, but in terms of quality and fitness they have the advantages.
