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.

So tired players in the end. And so tough after losing both our best players early in the game but how great!

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.
