Ever since England won the last Euro, it seems the Womens game has
become popular over night in England, we will see if that changes in the next week.-a England lost to France yesterday and face another tough
match vs the Dutch, in the Femme Fatale group of Death.-a Meanwhile
Portugal is nowhere near as good as Spain in Womens football.
If UEFA was rocking like CONCACAF, they would invite teams like USA and Kanada to play.

Very weird draw. Spain should face no serious opposition until the
semis, while Germany, Sweden, France, England and Netherlands will be slaughtering each other on the other side.
In the meanwhile, a very unimpressive Norway has qualified from group A, Switzerland-Finland will determine the other qualifier.
Germany and Sweden should win and battle it out for first place in MD3.

Group A had the most drama, with Finland taking the lead through a 78th minute penalty that would have surprisingly taken them to the QFs, and Switzerland equalizing in injury time.
Today the last round of Group D matches: England should go through by
beating Wales, while Netherlands needs to beat France by three clear
goals to advance. Even with Les Bleues's penchant for self-destruction,
that seems too much.

An early goal means as it stands the English hate Womens football 1 - 0
the English love Womens football
But lots of time for the English to love womens football again.

After about 5 mins it looked like the English might ban Womens football outright.-a Anyhow at the moment it is 2-0 after about 25 mins.
So at HT
England no longer loves Women's Football 2 -0-a England loves Womens football
If you listen to the BBC sports or football shows during the summer, the only tournament being played is the Womens Euro, Nary a thought was
given to the TRUMP MSGA tournament in USA, not even when Chelsea won the thing! Not that I have any issues with that, but they really made no
attempt to even acknowledge it existed.
Meanwhile, according to the BBC, England have pretty much won the Women
EUro 25 and every day you could listen to a bunch of English Women (and
some men) who sound like a cross between Mr Lily White and victims of
Jack the Ripper going on about Womens football and how none of the
Swedish players wouold even make the English National team and what the girls like to do on their day off and who their favourite Spice Girls
are and whatever else you wanna know about the English Womens NT.
So anyhow 2-0 behind at the half, but this is WOmens football and 2-0
means nothing, this could change easily in the 2nd half.

And after Penals, England Loves Womens Football 3 - 2 England hates
Womens football
Not only that, England smashes the Womens record for Penalties converted
in a shoot out with 3 scored in 7 attempts!
And after Penals, England Loves Womens Football 3 - 2 England

Those were...erm...not the best of penalties. By either side.
Interesting clash in the semifinal between England Loves Women's
Football and Italy Loves Women's Football. The azzurre even made it to
the top of the Gazzetta's page after beating Norway in the quarters (you could barely find any news at all about them at the beginning of the
Euros).
Weaufx Gods don't need my help, but England are massive, massive
favorites, and it would be a huge upset if Italy were to make it to the final.
Semifinals:
England - Italy
Spain - Germany
Bookies have England and Spain as equally strong favorites in
their semifinals, which surprises me a bit (I would have
expected Germany to be less of an underdog)

Spain easily dispatches Switzerland (or maybe less easily than they
should have), despite missing two penalties.
In the last QF, France did its usual France disappearing act, losing to Germany on penalties despite being a goal up and a player up for 110 minutes. Phenomenal save by Ann-Katrin Berger in ET to keep the Germans
in the game. She then completed her Player of the Match performance by saving two penalties and scoring hers in the shootout.

Oh Oh, it looks like the Italians are pulling an Italian job on "
England loves Womens Football".
The English are gonna go back to hatin' all international football again
I am not watching, just looking at the score when I come inside for
crappy Dutch beer or pee, so I dont know itf it is an actuall Italian
Job, or as they call up North a German job

Oh wait, England is doing what we call up North "a German Job", lots of stuff is called a German job.
I will say this inaugural Womens Cup thing is making for some exciting matches, in a schoolboy sorta way.

Another late goal in this game gives Spain the win.
So Spain v England final.

FT: Spain - England 1-1 (a.e.t., England win on penalties)
England had a few chances early on, but then Spain took the lead with
a well-worked move on the right that freed Ona Batlle on the
touchline, and her precise cross was powerfully headed in from close
range by Mariona Caldentey. After the goal, Spain only increased their >territorial and possession dominance, without creating clear-cut
chances, though. It was more of the same at the beginning the
second-half, but a moment of miscommunication between the Spanish
forwards and midfielders (to press or not to press?) left Stanway in
acres of space in midfield, she played the ball wide to the dangerous
Chloe Kelly, also in acres of space, and her well placed cross was
headed home by Alessia Russo, a true center-forward's finish.
After that, it was roughly 70 more minutes of Spanish futility. Lots
of possession, few dangerous chances. England didn't have a single
shot after the goal, but they held on until penalties. Beth Meade
scored on her first attempt while slippin, and was forced to retake
the penalty (new rule following the Julian Alvarez controversy in this
year's Real vs Atletico Champions League shootout), which she missed.
But Spain's missed three of its four penalties, and Kelly buried
England's last penalty for the title.
There will be controversy in Spain surrounding coach Montse's decision
to take off Putellas before the end of normal time. Spain are clearly
a super-talented team, but, like the men's side, they need to learn
how to convert their dominance in terms of possession into chances and
goals. A well-organized defense can stifle them. They needed a moment
of magic by Bonmati to have the better of Germany in the semifinal. It
didn't happen in the final, so they go home empty-handed.

- What was Tom|- thinking taking off Putellas that early?
- The thing about Spain is they always try to walk it in.
