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 womenās Euros history. They are not giving up without a fight. And boy, theyāve given this absolutely everything."
Disgraceful.
Penalties at 1:1.
Didnāt see this one coming, and intriguing as France scored and Germany missed one in normal time.
Whatever happens, respect.
Wooohooooo
Germany 6:5 on penalties. I honestly didnāt 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 wasnāt undeserved. Well done girls
Also, England ladies take note. THATāS how to take penalties
Jersey ordered.
Watching the penalties I am glad that they were just generally awful in the England game rather than being standard for the womenās game.
I thought you were better than that, disappointing!
Iām probably really in the wrong place here.
Whaaat Iām just pointing out the name
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.
Fuckās sake!! She did her best, she was put in a disadvantageous position being up against the strong and pace Blackstenius. Thatās 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 dayās less rest after playing 120 minutes.
I donāt 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, Iād 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 donāt get another early red card?
Iāve got a feeling that England will be exhausted after the Sweden game and, although Italy arenāt great, they do have those niggly attributes of their menās 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 itās 0-0 at half time, Germany have a chance, but otherwise itās Spain for me.
