The idea of beating Germany with a penalty seems quite nice, no matter whether the match means something or not.
Shocking lack of black players in the England team. I suppose if they're good enough they will come through...
Tell those ladies 3rd place doesn't matter. Just the looks on their faces tells you it matters to them a hell of a lot.
Absolutely brilliant stuff, well done ladies. Great tournament, impressive spirit & no egos. Onwards & upwards. Can't wait for Roy and Co. to bang on about emulating the women next summer before being eliminated by Iceland.
Well done girls. The lass sure can take a penalty, can't she! I thought the Germans were complete arses in extra time - really poor attitude. Shameful to argue with the ref over a clear penalty decision, shameful to try to mess with the penalty-taker, and shameful of the same player to start pushing Williams off the pitch when she was leaving it at a perfectly acceptable pace. I hope that German grows old alone and bearded.
Why do the ref and linesmen get medals? I'm sure it's nothing new but it's a bit ridiculous. They could give the worst performance possible and still get medals.
