Ok the standard is nowhere near the men’s.
Don’t get me started on the quality of penalties.

…. but to come back from 2-0 down against a much bigger physical side and still win on penalties despite missing 3 takes balls (or equivalent).
Lucy Bronze is a beast.
Well done girls.
The standard is way off but the attitude is fking spot on and the men need to tske note - the men have the skill but not the attitude.
A lot of the time attitude wins over skill.
 
worst set of penalties youll see. Swedish keeper taking the fifth penalty after saving three dollies in a row and blazing it over the moon was cracking telly

Lucy Bronze class act all night steps up to stop the ****ing around bosh **** off all you lot this is how you do it and smashes it in!!!

Strapping her own hamstring was class. She IS that England team.
 
Didn’t see the game, zero interest, but always love a penalty shootout. This one though, jeez, everyone of them before Kelly went on the same spot, and their keeper said thank you very much. Some of them were so feeble, she could have gone the other way and still recovered in time. The first one that Sweden scored was a worldie though tbf, no saving that, regardless of gender.
 
I watched the last 20 minutes of normal time and the last 5 in extra time.
I can't believe how bad it was, it was like watching my grandson in the under 11s.
And when she scored the winning penalty on the rebound running to the crowd giving it big time that was the final straw, I turned the utter tripe off.
 
R&W
Tha standard hasn't dropped, it's never been anything but poor.
I watched 20 minutes of the other semi.....the German keeper is better than O'leary with crosses but equally useless with a shot at the near post.

Nevertheless, like you, I wish the ladies well in the final only for them wearing an England shirt.

Well done the Lionesses.
A difficult watch for the football ‘puritan’ but a win is a win.
Especially sweet because it was vs Spain who beat them in the World Cup final. Karma.
