Feel for Sweden, they probably deserved it but couldn’t put it away in the end.

Enjoyed that.

It’s a shame the penalties settled that game - as the actual game itself was pretty decent.

The women need to take some more training on shootouts. The last few the Men have been in you can see them all take a moment to compose themselves. Our players tonight seemed to rush through them and you could tell by the quality of them.

I think both the men and the women have done that practice, you could see it in Bronze's penalty. The ones that missed all did a similar thing to what Sancho and Saka did in the Euros final: lost focus, rushed it, got neither power nor placement and gave the keeper an easy save. You could see they never looked like scoring in both cases.

It’s remarkable how good that training is. Kelly also looked 100% confident that she was going to score too.

Sweden's last penalty taker is an 18 year old debutant :emoticon-0101-sadsm All in tears afterwards


Some very odd decisions in general, subbed a striker on with 3 minutes to go, didn't take a pen. Instead the goalie (never takes pens) got the chance to score the decider but had a shocke (but did save 4 tbf....)
