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.

It's fun to troll your pedantry sometimes, but the fact we can't analogize between power/strength output to mass and it's obviously recognized relation in one sport, to see it would apply to another requiring power/strength output, is a bit next level.

Got the job done in the end despite clearly not being as good as they were 3 years ago.
Italian women showing they knew all the dark arts of time wasting, but came back to haunt them eventually. Clear penalty, asking for trouble.
They might just fluke the Final too.
Heard an interview with Agyemang last night, intelligent, articulate and a talented musician too (has a full keyboard in her hotel room), looks to be quite the star of the future.

Penalties scored on the rebound might be the worst type of goal. Shouldn't be allowed.

BARNES OUT
@Magrat Garlick why did Guro play left back the other day? I know you struggle for defenders but what a monumental waste.

Pleased for you, but 'questionable' my arse unless they're playing rugby. Incidentally, I subsequently learnt that the player who conceded the penalty was the same one who missed that chance from the edge of the six yard box to put Italy 2-0 ahead near the end of normal time.

Pleased we've made another final, but, aside from the Dutch game, we haven't looked good getting there, have we?
Not sure we can draw any conclusions from the predictable pasting of the Leekettes who are, as one understands, part timers.
Feels like we've had more jam than Roberton's.

Oh I agree it was a bang on pen, some people screaming questionable etc just makes it that little bit sweeter, even if it is England winning, I'm somewhat conflicted either way.
Just hope the press etc don't put too much on young Agyemang too early.

No one wants to play full back because it's such a weird position to make your mark in. It's very hard to coach a group of Norwegian athletes, we struggle to listen and are brash due to living so far away from each other
