Sweden leads England 2-1 at half-time. They dominated the first 30 mins then England pulled a goal back thru Kirby's solo attack. Ellen White then had a goal ruled out due to handball (correctly).

 

Everyone who said USA vs England is the premature final needs a reality check.

Phil Neville talks utter nonsense. England team got badly exposed against the better teams. The Norway win was a false dawn esp. with the Hegerberg sisters missing. Mark Sampson still owns the best result for England at WWC.

 

Hedvig Lindahl might have been the best GK at this tournament (spare a thought for the Chile GK who played on a very poor team) and she was on the bench at Chelsea. How about that?

Who said that? England, while good never showed they were the second best team in the tournament. If anything, USA vs France would have been the "true final" (besides, you know, the actual final)

BBC said that and all their damn pundits. They really thought they are the best team in the world pending the USA result. Not to mention the Sweden vs Netherlands SF was totally ignored on the large scale and they were convinced England is better than either of these two teams. Just because England has more money invested in their league it doesn't mean they're entitled to such a home bias tbh. Actually it could work against them on the long run, they will pick out the Bundesliga & French league but it could hurt the English players. English teams could dominate the UCL but the global championships? This was their best chance tbh and they've failed.

To be fair, BBC and the English media are a bit biased. Pre-tournament I would have given them an outside chance at winning the cup, but their defensive performances against Japan and Norway weren't exactly, World Cup winning performances. "The good offense is a good defense" play can only take you so far.

BBC is horrendously biased in all aspects of the sport. I used to watch athletics there but can't stand that shit anymore. And remember the next European Champs will be held in England so I can almost guarantee you they will roll the gold medal hype like crazy and dismiss Sweden, Netherlands, Germany & France like mere field-fillers.

    • Those hurt, especially not one but two countries that have never missed a single contest likely missing out now     Where did everyone go?   Edit: I see Slovenia is in, that's fantastic news! Brazil though...   I think I'm going to ask if @brunamoura wants to come up with a song, despite really not having lots of time for it due to training and work. With some luck, she can listen the playlist on Spotify during training or something and get a bit of a sense of which songs she likes. If that's acceptable for people of course, I can perfectly imagine people wouldn't be too happy with that since we literally share a household and it might be seen as a conflict of interest (although anyway I always only tell her my favourite songs after I sent my votes).
    • Announcement:   I'm going to extend the deadline for countries submission to Monday 30th September at 23:58 BST, with the voting now not opening to the public until Wednesday 2nd October at 23:58 BST. I felt this was necessary to do due to the lack of nations + the lack of some of the major players and not due to me failing to come up with an entry (@Vektor) that I will be posting after this announcement. This will be the last deadline that is moved, with the only dates potentially moving being the final dates. 
    • looking at the  Junior WCH (U-20) results so far, seems like USA is gearing up. the target would be to challenge China in LA 2028 and snatch few gold medals here and there.   p.s: China is not participating in Junior WCH     I am wondering if we can see USA in good shape in Bahrain WCH too 
    • Is Trump becomes President is he really going to let in the likes of Iran if they qualify. Fifa could protest if he won’t but sort of cancelling it they don’t have much leeway. 
    • SLOVENIA  Magnifico - Hir aj kam hir aj go     Robert Pešut, better known as Magnifico is one of most established Slovenian singers. He started his solo career more than 30 years ago.   Few weeks ago, he celebrated this jubilee with special concert in front of more than 20.000 people on special site in Ljubljana. Maybe does not seem a lot, but here there were not many concerts played with that crowd.   He is known for his special type of humour in his music and lyrics. Around 20 years ago he sold album Export Import, from which most known song is "Hir aj kam hir aj go", which was received well in other countries, especially in Italy.   Just another fact, Magnifico wrote two Eurovision songs, Sestre - Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) in 2002 and also for Montenegrin performer Rambo Amadeus (Euro Neuro).   He tried himself to perform at Eurovision, but with his still very well known "Silvija", ended 5th in EMA 1998 (Slovenia National Final).   SONG LYRICS  
    • Oh how I’ve missed Canucks hockey, Silovs with another beauty of a save      
    • Round of 16 - September 24th    1 - 3     5 - 0 
    • Think I'm gonna extend the deadline to another day, we've got plenty of time to spare and I shouldn't take too long to vote. 
    • Today it was Olof’s 4th birthday. Love you my sweet boy.
