extra time

Aus have been terrific in the last 45

[Durhamfootman]

straight red

harsh

Aussie, of course

[Durhamfootman]

Norwegian player on a yellow hacks down an Aussie..... gets a talking to

[Durhamfootman]

Norway spot the keeper off her line.... hits the bar!

got it all, this game

[Durhamfootman]

Auusie have really gone for this up to now, but will they sit back for the last 15 mins and hope to get to penalties?

it would be a pity if they do

[Durhamfootman]

penalty shoot out, it is

(I still have no idea why the ref reversed her decision to award a pen for a deliberate use of the arm...... I've seen it about 20 times now.... no idea)

[Durhamfootman]

both keepers have been brilliant tonight


stay on your line

[Durhamfootman]

oh no!
Roberto Baggio Sam Kerr

[Durhamfootman]

followed by a save

Matilda's waltzing off home

[Durhamfootman]

as good a set of pens as you're ever likely to see, from Norway

[Durhamfootman]

Thundering good game of football, that

[Durhamfootman]

(I still have no idea why the ref reversed her decision to award a pen for a deliberate use of the arm...... I've seen it about 20 times now.... no idea)

not that it matters now.... Kerr would have just blazed it over the bar

[Durhamfootman]

seemingly if there are no shocks in the last 16, USA and France will meet in the QF's..... feels like bad planning on the part of the organisers

I have a sneaking feeling that England and Germany might do the same if they both win, but don't quote me on that

England will play Norway, if they can avoid the banana skin

[Durhamfootman]

commentator yesterday noted that England have a long break before their last 16 match, but the fixture list says Sunday..... so who knows

I reckon Neville will go....

Bardsley
Bronze
Houghton
McManus (I thought Bright was off the pace after injury)
Greenwood
Moore (unless he plays safe with Walsh)
Scott
Parris (although Daly was excellent last night)
Kirby
Mead
White

he does play safe with Walsh. Plays safe with Millie Bright too which is fair enough.... a bit rusty the other night but gets another chance.

Duggan plays.... that's an odd one.... shocking the other night, hardly played in recent times and Beth Mead has been outstanding throughout the warm ups.... I don't get that at all, unless Mead has some sort of injury

[Durhamfootman]

I hope he isn't giving players 'another chance' because 'it's only Cameroon'

he might catch a cold if that's what he is doing
