What an epic penalty shootout that was between Australia and France.
This is one of my 3 usernames.

Some amount of booing at it for the penalties, Australians fans bad winners on top of been even worse losers.

England getting a handy run. They were outplayed by Nigeria who did not look any better than Ireland. They were gifted an equaliser against Columbia. And Aussies didn't look much better than Ireland either but home advantage helps. Pity the Yanks were knocked out. Would have loved to see Alex Morgan do a Boston tea party celebration again. She fairly triggered Piers Morgan and the right wing British press even worse than Megan Rapinoe.

Draw has definitely opened up for them.  Their run was potentially canada, Germany, France but became Nigeria, colombia and Australia.  None of them are great shares.  Hoping the Spanish or swedes do the business.  Couldn't stand Australia or England winning.  Same goes for the yanks

Would it have been any tougher, Canada & Germany were shown to be poor

Have to say the standard of goalkeeping is really poor, I know the keepers are obviously smaller but still

They've not been great tbh. Be very surprised if they win it. Watched the end of the Colombia game and heard an interview after with an England player who said they were in complete control. They were not and it was a backs to the wall job.

England beaten 1-0 in the World Cup final by Spain, a side they beat in the Euros via extra time last year.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Careful now

There won't be a shirt ironed in Madrid tonight

Spain were, by far, the better team. Dominated the whole game, possessions and chances.  Only for keeper it could have been 3 or 4 nil.

England did well to get to the final considering who they were missing.

England will be bitterly disappointed. Didn't create any clear cut chances the whole game. They played as though they were the team winning, constantly lumping the ball forward into 50 50 contests where as spain were much more crisp in their ground game and they managed to play through England several times.

Capt Pat

Spain were very unlucky to lose to them in the euros so this is a deserved triumph.
