Women's Football: General Discussions

Germany equaliser from a corner. Well, that was a turn up for the books.

From the BBC:

"France 1-1 Germany

A reminder that Germany are the most successive team in women’s Euros history. They are not giving up without a fight. And boy, they’ve given this absolutely everything."

Disgraceful.

Penalties at 1:1.

Didn’t see this one coming, and intriguing as France scored and Germany missed one in normal time.

Germany 6:5 on penalties. I honestly didn’t see that coming. An incredible defensive come back.

Spain next? Who knows.

Nobody would have thought they were capable of that, they fought incredibly hard and it wasn’t undeserved. Well done girls :partying_face:

Watching the penalties I am glad that they were just generally awful in the England game rather than being standard for the women’s game.

I thought you were better than that, disappointing!

I’m probably really in the wrong place here.

Yes Germany fully deserved their win they fought hard for 123 minutes and their goalkeeper was woman of the match.

Well this is thoroughly depressing:

Presumably from the same Neanderthals that complain about women playing football at all.

Fuck’s sake!! She did her best, she was put in a disadvantageous position being up against the strong and pace Blackstenius. That’s more of a selection and team formation mistake.

Whatever happened was nothing to do with her skin colour.

Any thoughts on the semifinals?

I think England are the favourites for tonight, but they have had a day’s less rest after playing 120 minutes.

I don’t think either side have been particularly consistent, even within the same game. However, England did look resilient after a poor start against Sweden.

For the other semi, I’d expect Spain to be too much for Germany. But I said that about France. Germany actually looked solid defensively in that game. Maybe they could pull something off if they don’t get another early red card?

I’ve got a feeling that England will be exhausted after the Sweden game and, although Italy aren’t great, they do have those niggly attributes of their men’s team. I can see an upset.
Germany will be on a high after beating France, but Spain are a cut above all the other teams in the tournament. If it’s 0-0 at half time, Germany have a chance, but otherwise it’s Spain for me.
