have Norway missed 2 penalties as well as having an offside goal ruled out?

blooming Germans!

Interesting that Germany have a woman coach, while Norway have a male coach...so gender's clearly not the issue when it comes to coaching.

Hope Powell has been sacked as england coach.

Not surprised, she was tactically inept in Euro 2013. Football has evolved in recent times and more so in the women's game.

Beat Montenegro 9-0 today.

Interesting incident in the womens friendly between England and Sweden yesterday.

England were awarded a penalty and the kick was taken. Ball hit the post and rebounded back to the spot kicker who put it in the net. Referee awarded a goal. England celebrated and the Swedish team trudged back to the half way line to kick off again.

Only the Swedish manager seemed to understand the rule that the goal should have been disallowed because no one else touched the ball after the kick was taken. She was furious at half time.

Brilliant, every now and again you get to see something far out there in sports.

England currently 2-0 down against Germany.

3-0 now.

Never heard so much self obsession and promotion about the Women's Game, utter cringeworthy.

It's all good and well talking about WSL improving the standard of women's football, but as product it is rather poor. By that I mean they play a third of matches their male counterparts do so, matches aren't played on a weekly basis and is reliant on mens football clubs to be in existence.

England were well and truly outplayed, by the Germans as ususal......Women's Bundeliga is so much more advanced than any other women's league in the world..

In general, women are pretty dire at Sport, compared to men, but that was one hell of a goal.

No, credit where credit's due, that was bloody awesome. I went to see some women's Football during the Olympics, and wasn't impressed.
