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.

    • Non-Olympic Athlete, Moment of the Year and Olympic Spirit Award are the ones lacking the most. Paralympic Athlete and Breakthrough also don't have a lot of votes.
    • Do you have or have you ever had an modern ice track?
    • Still no progress in the Italian team: 2x 4th place in men's singles and women's doubles+ a fall in the team relay. Men's doubles and women's singles without any progress for years. What's worse, our women's doubles also significantly lowered their level: without a single podium in the World Cup in this season. As of today, I'm betting on 0 medals in Cortina for us, excluding some miracles on the home track.
    • There is some progress at Barp and Carollo but almost everything is still based on Pellegrino. In the men's we lost a great talent - de Fabiani and Davide Graz - they are at an age where we have a generation gap in these age groups: 1994-2000. In the women's I`m happy with Monsorno's progress in sprints but the last podium WC in the women's category was in... 2011. We wasted 15 years in the women's category and now we are only waking up with 1 year to go until the games in Cortina, when we should have a ready team like Germany (I will skip Scandinavia because of its completely different potential).
    • Italy doesn't exist in women's technical competitions without from Brignone and Goggia - both over 30 age. Unfortunately Bassino has been out of good shipe since from last season in the giant slalom and she is unrecognizable in some competitions. In the case of Goggia I also don't really believe in regular podiums in the giant slalom - she can't have falls and win in the downhill and super-G. The giant slalom is just a bonus.   The Italian women's slalom has basically been non-existent for many years. One Peterlini qualifies for the 30 and doesn't finish half of the competitions. I can't understand how it was possible to lose Colturi in a situation where other Italians have fallen so badly. Unfortunately it's not the Italian federation that should be setting the conditions here but it's Colturi and her mother - a talent on par with Shiffrin at her age. 
    • In relay yes, but we have 8 more from our legend Natalya Yakushenko back in 2008 and earlier
