What an effort from the French ladies to pull it back. USA are dangerous on the break, and the England defence will need to cut out the mistakes at the back if they wish to get to the final.
USA deserved to win but France did improve 2nd half and could have had a penalty - in that most of the handballs like that have been given before.
Yes crazy logic re penalties.. Refs have altered their interpretation a tad.. USA do look strong in the break and we can't afford to keep giving the ball away when we are attacking...
The Parc de Princes was full last night, and some commentators believe that to some extent the French team were a bit overwhelmed by it. I am not sure if that is true or not, but this would certainly be the first time they had played in front of such a large crowd. Wherever you look you see comments about how much people are enjoying the games, because there seems to be far more honesty about the game, something that seems to be missing in the EPL.
Missed the Germans losing...a shame (sorry CH!) We are also in the Olympics next year which is good for the game I think.
