Yes please! This should be a good tournament. Feels like USA or England's to lose.

I’ll start it tonight x

 

[Soldi]

Yes please! This should be a good tournament. Feels like USA or England's to lose.

I’d love them to do it and it feels like they have lots of momentum after the Euros, but they’ve been hit by injuries and with the last two results being their first loss under Wiegman and a goalless draw, I think they could struggle against the top teams.

 

[Soldi]

The second half of that Australia v Ireland match has been THRILLING.

 

[Indie]

England!

USA OUT!

 

[AGinAg (39)]

USA OUT!

Oh good, obviously rooting for Sweden.

 

[AGinAg (39)]

USA were ranked top weren't they?

 

[Soldi]

USA were ranked top weren't they?

Top ranked and had won the last two WCs!

 

[Soldi]

England through on penalties

 

[Finn]

England THROUGH to the semi-finals.

I imagine this is the point the UK media start to properly give a shit about them again? Especially as they'll be facing Australia, allowing for lots of 'fun' stereotype-based jingoistic bantz from the tabloids

 

[Indie]

Was a good game. Colombia were a side with a lot of skill and were unlucky.

The stats will probably show they were on top, but that's mostly because they spent a longer time chasing the game. England did so much better than the last round, without being particularly excellent.

 

[Kratz]

Spain come through Andra Chansen against Sweden - what a final ten minutes. Will play Australia or England in the final.

 

[Soldi]

Have we noticed that this is the song that has been played into the stadium after Spain have won a match !

 

[Kratz]

YES!

 

[Soldi]

 

[rhythm bandit]

It's coming home!

 

[Kratz]

Does the BBC always have to cut to footage of troglodytes at ‘Boxpark’?

 

[Soldi]

Balls

 

[Soldi]

Omg yay

 

[Kratz]

My heart is in my mouth

 

[Kratz]

GET IN

 

[Ill Advised]

That was a lovely goal

 

[dmlaw]

Glorious. Much better than the rubbish men.

 

[Soldi]

[Sheena]

I'll be in an athletics stadium and I can't decide whether the momentual occasion is worth giving up my tickets for the women's 100m heats for...

 

[Madison]

I guess it depends if they win.

 

[Sheena]

I guess it depends if they win.

I imagine it’s more than likely bullshit at the minute but I think this would be brilliant!
